As he stood in the mirror, still dressed in his well pressed suit that seemed to hug his frame rather fittingly, he smiled like he told himself too. He knew that trying to change his stubborn ways wasn't going to happen overnight or even instantaneously for that matter. But if he took little steps forward and actually tried, then he knew he'd see Taylor in a similar way that Adelaide saw him.
"Townsend, you old chum... You'll do just fine."
He said to himself with a chuckle as he would take off his suit coat and start to undress until he was in his underwear. Immediately, he walked over to his wardrobe and pulled out a pair of dark khaki pants and slipped them on. It was a good thing no one could see him undressing then dressing from where his quarters were.
It's not that Townsend was shy about his well toned body, it was the fact that he didn't want to give someone a sight they didn't really want to see. This thought made him laugh to himself as he grabbed a black, short sleeve shirt and slipped it onto his upper body. He then put his gardening shoes on and exited his quarters.

Townsend smiled as he looked around the home and saw not even a speck of dust present on the pictures or the railing of the stairs.
Before heading outside to meet up with Taylor, he walked into the kitchen and grabbed two cold water bottles from the fridge and then showed himself outside. As he got there, the smell of his flowers hit his nose: The slight chill of the Winter air gave them a rather unique smell, and it gave his sense of smell a rather cheerful feeling.
Rose and Reginald had also managed to come outside as well, as he felt Rose brush up against Townsend and look at him with beady eyes. The Brit chuckled as he gave her a few pets on her head and told her to be good, and enjoy the sun.
It was awfully nice for a Winter's day, and he wouldn't complain one bit.
It definitely beat the constant fog and cold air that England was notorious for. Although at times, he rather did miss waking up in the morning and seeing nothing but fog and being greeted by a cold nip on his cheeks.

After talking with Rose, Townsend looked over and saw Reginald sitting near Taylor as he had appeared to start doing some work already. He was carefully planting some of the plants he had just bought, and he was doing a rather good job. Hell, he even had all the tools out that Townsend was going to grab from the shed. He walked to the long haired gentleman and smiled, giving him a pat on the shoulders and seeing him slightly turn to make eye contact with him.
"I dare say chap, I'm impressed. You've shown me some initiative. I like it. Keep it up." He cheerfully said to Taylor as he slipped his gardening gloves on and grabbed a tool and what looked to be a rather beautiful looking bundle of Stargazer Lilies.
"Alright Taylor. Pay close attention to how I plant these. They are finicky little flowers, so take notes in your brain."
