She supposed it was slightly more helpful when he talked about stitching pieces of trees together with other trees, but all she could picture in her head was a tree quilt and why would anyone want one of those?

In short, she had no idea what grafting was, but Jay certainly did, and she gave him a supportive bump with her shoulder and beamed at him. Whip grafting. Who knew?

She eyed some of the other students, who obviously didn’t know—and some of them were way older than her or Jay—and decided that Jay needed some special recognition. So she got up, in a trying-to-be-inconspicuous-but-sort-of-failing way, and went to the flower basket. A cursory rummage didn’t reveal any whippy-looking flowers, so she just picked the closest she could find and returned to present it to Jay with a flourish.

Jaemin hadn't even looked to see who was sitting next to him, but the shoulder-bump brought his attention right around to her. Juuuuuulia. His favourite hedgehog-holder! He grinned and gave her a gentle nudge back, because he hadn't gotten to see her in what felt like foooooooorever - though it was probably the same forever that it felt like he'd lived through for this class to come around - and wiggled happily in his seat. Good. She could be his partner for whatever exercise the professor would have them doing today! He was smart, and she was smart. This would work out brilliantly.

He blinked when she stood up and slinked off though, watching her intently. She was going to the flower basket? He'd seen a few people do it in other classes, but Jaemin himself hadn't really had the opportunity yet. Maybe someday soon, he would.

It was even more surprising when Julia came back and gave the flower to him, though. He tilted his head, a bit confused, before reaching for it. He liked flowers, and he liked them even more for the reason Professor Myers had them give them to each other. It made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and he whispered a quiet 'thank you' with a smile to Julia before tucking the flower behind his ear. There. Nice and safe.
