Biggest hiccup....I thought Jasmine was a person because you capitalized it...but Survivor already went there. If this begins a chapter, it is a starting point of sorts. Therefore, you need to reaffirm our knowledge of characters, even if you introduced them in chapter 1. Use "his" name at least in the first sentence.
" It had no alchemical properties so why did she insist on keeping them. QUESTION MARK The work it took just to keep them alive made them not worth it. If they had some alchemical value he could understand keeping them, but all she did was put them in vases and put the vases in her rooms."
Aside from the missed question mark, the reason I quoted this section is because it's redundant. The last sentence can be cut entirely without losing any meaning...you mentioned it before and almost in so many words. You don't even really need the part about putting them in vases in the rooms, but if you wanted to retain that part of the seentence I wouldn't find fault with your logic.
"You can’t go into her rooms without smelling those stupid flowers. "
Once again, redundant.
But generally not bad. Did you post part of chapter one at any point? I don't remember, we get so many thirteen lines around here. This works well as a chapter intro as well. It feels like the soft draw I like for a chapter beginning, especially towards the first part of a novel. Something is happening, we're getting exposition, and the pace is liesurely. Works for me.
