-- Ah. [ STARTLES. but it's fine. a beat, as he glances at this little face, and then he smiles, ear flicking. ] Hello there. I'm not a gardener, just a healer.
Safer than home? There aren't any spun- ponsca- [ FROWNS and tries again, much slower this time, overenunciating. ] Spawncampers? The teachers said they're always on the outside.
[ oh but talking about iris is much more fun than spawncampers!! ]
Okay! He's a little older than me, but we've been friends forever! He's always drawing stuff and showing me his pictures and everything he made from them... [ his eyes widen like he's just remembered something. ] Oh! But not with his powers! He knows better.
Mmhm. He said he's an Iris, so he can draw something and make it real? Or reach into pictures and stuff to pull things out. I've never heard of any other demiflora who can do that!
Can you ask your teachers to give you a space? I've always found it's good to know basic skills like this. I can't imagine a teacher that would disagree.

-- Ah. [ STARTLES. but it's fine. a beat, as he glances at this little face, and then he smiles, ear flicking. ] Hello there. I'm not a gardener, just a healer.
I'm planting chili peppers.
no subject
Oh, a doctor. But they don't mess with plants...
Peppers? [ makes a face. ] Like Iris's hot sauce?
no subject
I do intend to use them with hot sauce. My apologies. Perhaps we can plant something you do like, Mister...
[ he's pretty sure he knows who this is, but hey. ]
no subject
Laurence. [ oh wait last names too ] Nimith.
It's okay as long as I don't have to eat it, too. He just puts it on everything and makes me try it with him.
no subject
[ he hums. ]
I only liked bland foods when I was a child, so I understand. Is that your friend? Iris?
no subject
[ WHERE ARE HIS FRIENDS. but he lights up, nodding. ]
He's my best friend. He'd love your chili peppers.
no subject
[ for... for now, but little laurence doesn't need to know that it isn't. ]
Oh? A fellow connoisseur of spice. Will you tell me about him a little? What's he like?
no subject

[ nodnod nailed it ]
no subject
he'll. let that slide for a second because laurence is so much more excited to talk about his friend and jiaoqiu doesn't want to bum out a baby. ]
His powers?
no subject
[ it's soooooo cool! ]
no subject
[ sounds a little Imaginary in nature so he's not wildly shocked, but it is unique. ]
Are you a demiflora as well? Or just him.
no subject
I'm a Daphne, so I can make portals to go other places.
But we're not supposed to use our powers.
no subject
I see. Why's that? Too dangerous?
no subject
That's what our teachers said. It's dangerous and it isn't normal. But we're supposed to have normal lives in the Tower, like regular people.
no subject
[ people have powers all the time? obviously? a hum. ]
You aren't alone, right? You have more than just your friend and your teacher?
no subject
no subject
[ a sigh of relief. at least... he has other people. even if a tower sounds like it's awful. ]
... Well, shall I show you how to plant seeds? You can show your friends when you see them again.
no subject
Sure. But we don't have anywhere like this at home, so I don't know if I could actually show them how.
no subject

no subject
It's really something you need to know if there's nowhere like this?

Don't worry about how you got here just now. It'll come to you in time.
