Mary Crawley & OTA
Mary was greatly enjoying being on the star base, even if it wasn't quite the same as returning to Earth. There was still a lot more space than on the ship. Being in the botanical gardens and seeing greenery again was wonderful. She delighted in all of the plants and wished that they didn't have to leave.
The boat tour was nice, other than poor Hawke's dip in the water. What Mary really enjoyed was the bit where they got to walk around at the end. That way she could examine some of the plants up close.
She was drawn to some flowers that reminded her of pink orchids, though they seemed to be able to move of their own free will. They bobbed back and forth in front of her as Mary leaned in to smell them. The scent was curiously like vanilla.
