Saffron was picking flowers in the field. Less than a week left till Harper got home. This made her ecstatic. As she sang an old french song she felt something on her foot. She ignored it, then it slid up her leg and pain shot through her leg. She kicked out and a small black snake went flying.
She tumbled down, and looked at her leg, she did a little shocked "Ow," before she passed out.
All of this had the Saffron air of dazedness to it of course.

Harper walked into the flower shop a week later to see his lovely fiancee when he noticed something. Well, first off, the wooden flip sign in the front that Rhea had made to announce whether or not they were open or closed was currently in the closed postion.
And all the flowers were dead or dying.
He hadn't stopped at his home yet, so he was still carrying his bag over his shoulder. He set it down and looked around. Where was everyone?

Rhya came running down the stairs to tell the customer to shoo.
"Oh! Harper!" She said, half heartedly. "Come up, come up."

"Why Miss. Rhea, what's going on?" He asked.

"Saffron," Rhya said. "She- She was bit. Picking flowers a few days ago. She's not doing to well."

"What type of snake was it? Is the wound infected?" He asked.

Rhya just shook her head.
"I don't know," she cried.

"May I see it?" He asked.

Rhya pointed him to the room Saffron was in, and collapsed into a chair in the hallway.
Saffron's eyes opened a little when she heard foot steps. "Hello?" she whispered.

"I thought I told all those snakes to stay away from my girl." Harper said, leaning in the door frame.

"Harper!" she said, and tried to sit up.

"Don't try to sit up, that's not going to do you any good. Now, what type of snake did you see? What did it look like?" He asked.

"Small and Black," she said, leaning back down. "Come here?"

He went over to her.
"Well, that sounds like a cotton mouth." He said. "Especially given that they're the only small and black venomous snakes around here. And I doubt you'd be acting like this over a nonvenomous snake bite."
(ooc. I picked the cotton mouth for several reasons: A-while the belly isn't, the top can be black. They are rather small. And they are agressive, even approaching and attacking people without provokation.)

(ooc. Works for me.)
"I haven't been to the shop in a while.." Saffron said, sad.
