 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Another point. Nem didn't follow this up with another witty one-liner, but just grinned and saluted Rainwater with great fervous. Castillo might have got a bit battered with his pointy elbow in the process, but these things happen.
Intricate, detailed, stressful, takes a lot of work. None of those things troubled Nem in the slightest... when it was to do with something he actually liked. Plants? Were not on that (very short) list. So, hearing they would be doing their own herbological crossbreeding experiments later was not something that inspired a whole lot of enthusiasm.
... Nor was the creative-sounding activity. For a split second, Nem's face was like thunder and his entire demeanour darkened, but in the next moment he had sat up in his seat again, chipper once more. And look, a readymade partner in Castillo. How lucky. "I've got one I think you'll like." He said to her, nudging her with that elbow again. "A Snargaluff-slash-Whomping-Willow-slash-Bubotuber toadstool. Looks like a regular old amanita muscaria, but if you get too close to it, thorny vines come out and punch you up, maybe strangle you a bit, and douse you with Bubotuber-ish pus on contact." Did she love it? Of course she did. "Nothing says 'stay off my land' quite like a full fungi assault, don't you think?" |
