"Today, it's been all about our new screechsnaps," she said, sighing and shaking her head. They were just screaming and screaming and they'd yet to find the cause. "We brought them in to consider a cross-breeding experiment with honking daffodils, but there's something wrong that's keeping them screaming and we haven't quite figured it out yet." Hence the need to escape from the level for a bit and get a tea. Emmalee usually left the charmed earmuffs near the mandrake stations, but this might be an exception.

Sipping her tea again, she nodded as he spoke. She understood a bit, she thought, having tried a few things before realizing that herbology was what she was meant to do.

But the end of the year, well, then that was still some substantial time. "Well, I hope that things do go according to plan for you, or at least, if they don't that the detour is for better things."
Jake's first thought was to suggest that possibly the screechsnaps were hungry or something, but he quickly reminded himself that Emmalee, being Senior Botanist, had probably covered all those bases.

"Maybe they're just angry," were the words that escaped his mouth instead, though he didn't recall informing his brain that that was the plan. Jake blinked at the ridiculousness of his own statement, and had the grace to look apologetic for the statement at least. Just sipping his juice here. Yep. "Sounds like it's a real riot on your level, then." Better.

Jake smiled at Emmalee. A proper one.

"Thanks. I'm hoping so too. I feel good about it, at least. Helps to have made a more informed decision, and all." As opposed to jumping into things like his younger self just LOVED to do. Progress. Somewhat.
