 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ ❄ Showtunes > Everything ❄ ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Heath was so busy trying to soothe the wriggling vine that he didn't notice Professor Flamsteed's smile. He had barely enough time to get the window repaired before they moved on to the second question. He thought for several moments. It appeared that the kind of environment a vine needed would vary with the type of vine, but someone already pointed that out. All the other things he thought of - water, light, good soil, a safe place to climb ( as in not on broken glass shards) had been said too. Now what could he say?
As he racked his brains for something new to add, his thoughts turned to the tall vine he'd helped earlier, the one that seemed to like showtunes… or maybe it wasn't the song it responded to. What if it responded to him because he treated it with kindness? Was that something that made a good environment for vines, a place where they'd be loved and cared for? Maybe they were like humans in that way… Or not. There were plenty of vines that grew just fine in the wild, so that was probably wrong. And even so, there was no way in Hoth that he was saying that answer out loud! He shook his head, unable to believe he'd come up with something that sappy!
After a lot of careful consideration, Heath remembered something he read in the textbook, and his hand went up. "Some vines, like grapevines for example, are prone to mildew and fungus, so they need an environment with good air circulation."
