Watching the fairy for a moment...Gabe kinda smiled. He'd gotten over the weirdness of its look and had even moved onto the belief that had this creature been full sized, it wouldn't have been terrible to look at. Slow progress was slow progress...and it'd taken some time to warm up to the idea of caring for something else.

...but he'd been doing okay so far....or, he was at least doing so to the best of his ability. So, there was that. Nothing to be ashamed of...even if Gabe still was. Just a bit. About what exactly, he couldn't have said. Anxiousness was what was it...and when it came to things he didn't excel at (or even with things he DID excel at), the self doubt and worry remained.

Anyway, he had a jar to clean....Enough with the self depreciating thoughts.

He hadn't fed the creature first...So, a few scourgifying charms did the trick. The jar's bottom, its sides....the pile of leaves the fairy had been sleeping on...That was an important area to clear, correct? Gabe knew he, himself, didn't like sleeping on dirty sheets. So...He was being thoughtful, at least?

He even watered the mini!trees; making sure they were healthy and not crawling with mold and other gross substances.

Taking a cautionary sniff inside....he finally caught sight of his unknown company.

Tobias Tempus.

Well, that guy was okay. He'd.......saved them in Astro. Saved them all. He....got a small nod.
