"Well, Deerington helped," she said. "The shop, the apartment above it, the orchard...all of them were part of my home there. A part that somehow came with me to Trench."

But there was no disguising the pride on her face, the absolutely radiant smile. She really loved her orchard and her trees. They were her family and she was so happy that they were with her. Someone she could talk to, someone who would listen; while the rest of her world made almost no sense, half of the time.

And as for the rest? Well, she had big plans for it. Serenity Garden was meant to be a public amenity. Ariadne dreamed of a place where everyone felt warm and welcome.
Where people could pass the time or share their thoughts or fall in love.

All of the best things of humanoid society.
