Finn huffed in disapproval, eyeing the stranger-man from his safe perch on his master. Acai had never brought home anyone for him to meet before, and Finn was rather unsure of this whole ordeal. His ears perked up at the rustling of a bag, and the spotted genet watched suspiciously as a dandelion was offered. Tucking his head back under Acai's shoulder, Finn refused the offer, not wanting to give away his heart so easily for a flower.

Acai, a little embarrassed by her Spirit's display of unaffection, took the offered flower to piece it into her hair. Thankfully, it was thick enough to hold, and the flower remained. "Is no used to ah ... People." With a small noise, Acai decided that now would probably be a good time to make that tea. "You can follow." Turning, Acai skipped back behind a row of opalescent roses that she had been experimenting with, her deft fingers pushing open a door that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Behind the door lay a rather modest living space, about the size of a studio apartment and stuffed full of plants. Most of her furniture was gnarled logs she had someone carve into chair shapes and her kitchen table was a smooth and knotted slab of a tree. Of course, she did plenty of research before getting these items, making sure that there were no spirits attached to the trees that were used.

Her kitchen was equally as simple, with a small pit used for cooking and randomised utensils that she could not recreate with natural items. The most modern thing she owned was a rather old refrigerator, a clunky thing that looked like it had been made in 1970. It was a tacky yellow, and was plastered with faded stickers depicting popular bands and fads from it's previous owner. Acai did not mind her awkward decor too much. In it's own way, it had even grown on her a little. Filling her small copper kettle with a bit of water, Acai scooped a bit of kindling into her pit to light a fire. The flames quickly started up, and she set her kettle on the sturdy grate she had found for that purpose.
"It no lots, but work, yes?"

Finn's rejection was quite amusing, and Jacob took no offense at the little creature's hesitation. Much like the situation with Acai, Finn was too cute to be seriously mad at, yet anyway. Unlike other pets, however, Finn showed a marked amount of intelligence in his actions and rejection. Remembering how Acai was a tree spirit, or half tree spirit, Jacob wondered if something similar was true with Finn. Maybe the little guy was her familiar or tree spirit equivalent.

"Hehe. It's no big deal. We just need more time together. Don't we, little buddy?"

Before following Acai, Jacob had to stop and admire the blue roses on display. He had never seen roses like that before, and he wondered if they were some rare variation he had never heard about. Their color was hypnotic and soothing.

"Woooow. These are so pretty."

He kept his hands off and followed her into her hidden living space, nodding approvingly at the hidden door. The space itself was... Well, he actually did not know what to expect from Acai, but the place he did see was both expected and a little surprising. The myriad of plants were to be expected at this point, but the carved wooden furniture was a nice touch he was surprised by.

"It definitely works, and I actually think it's really cool, Acai. Feels very... natural and home-y. The chairs are a nice touch."

He ran his hands over the carved logs then joined Acai in her little kitchenette area. He felt the fire pit was a little dangerous considering all the wood around the apartment, but the place was still standing so he trusted Acai knew exactly what she was doing. As he set the bag down, Jacob took a particular interest in the fridge and its many old stickers.

"Hehe. I remember these bands. I used to like a couple of them when I was young. Hell, I still do."

Jacob unpacked the chocolates and dandelions for her.

"So... What made you want to open a flower shop in the city?"
