Dream I Had Last Night #2

"Just go talk to her, Christ, it's not that hard." That girl with the long dark hair whisper-shouted to the boy, maybe thinking I couldn't hear them "You guys have been hanging out for weeks, why are you still afraid to say hi?'
I liked her, she was upfront, honest, the few times I've met her. Loud spoken, maybe a bit too much, but a welcome change from the soft spoken and scared few that were the backbone of the revolution, those I worked with. I suppose she has known the boy for a long time, I would assume they were something special together if I wasn't the one who fashioned the lights for her altar at her wedding a few months ago.That's how it is down here, married young to get the experience of love without ever breeding, it'd be cruel to bring a child into this world. And besides, no one needs a parasite in their womb when they're discussing battle plans at all hours of the night.
"Okay, okay, just shut up and come with me." He whispered back, speed-walking over to me while never breaking eye contact with the floor, the girl attached to his arm. I stared intently at the circuit board in my hands and picked up my tweezers to connect another wire, pretending I didn't notice them fast approaching.
"Hi!" The girl shoved the boy into the chair across from mine and took a half seat on the table, tilting it. I nodded my head at her and smiled at the boy. He was looking at the table, occasionally taking a break to look at the girl for courage then shifting his gaze to me. The girl looked at him expectantly, then looked at me. I directed my attention back to my work, obvious as it was that nothing real was going to be said anytime soon. Before I finished with the circuit, the girl blurted,
"Well! I have to go out to the greenhouse for rosemary, I have the voucher for it right here. Oh, gosh and darn it, look at the time. I have to go see the hubby about our rank. I know, you can go get it for me, and take girly with you, or else you'll get lost. You don't mind going, do you?"
She touched me shoulder and gave me a huge smile. I shook my head no and signed,
'I'd be happy to.'
"I knew I liked you. Alrighty, you guys better get a move on." She stood and pulled the boy to his feet. He held out his arm for me to take, which I did and we began to walk to the greenhouse as the girl skipped away, laughing to herself.
"So, um..." He started to talk, turning to me to make sure I could read his lips "Have you ever been to the greenhouse?"
'Yes, all the colors and scents of the plants is quite the ambush of the senses. I enjoy it.'
"Me too."
We turned the corner and the greenhouse doors were in view at the end of the hallway.
'How did you end up becoming a doctor?'
"I apprenticed at a young age, bit of a prodigy I suppose. Never found a better use of my talent than the opportunity to join a revolution."
'I couldn't agree more.'
"Says the young electrician."
'My father taught me. Never had a knack for it, but I like the work and you can do whatever you want if you work hard enough. Leaving the States was the best decision I ever made.'
"America? You don't seem like an American to me."
'Yes, well, you can't hear the accent.'

"That's true."
'I have to go finish my circuit board.' I signed, letting go of his arm and backed away a few steps 'I'll see you later.'
"What about the rosemary?" He asked/signed, disappointment clouding his features.
'There will be other times for rosemary.'
