Nyle’s heart warmed at the sight of the juice pouch she extended toward him, more than an offering of sweetened hydration and so much more an acceptance of friendship. He took it gently, like it might wilt or explode if he touched it too fast. "Thank you," he murmured, cradling it in both hands like it was something incredibly rare.

Then her words fully settled in. Like...really truly settled in and he felt as though he were touching grass for the first time. His expression softened again, a hush falling over his features. "I think you just described every orchid I’ve ever tried to grow," he said quietly. "They look delicate, and some people give up when the petals fall off... but underneath, they’re all roots and survival. They keep going, even if no one claps for them." He paused, juice forgotten for a moment in his hands and still holding it as if it were a chick. "And sidewalk plants that’s... that’s probably the kindest thing anyone’s ever said to me. I mean, anyone not in my family because there is always loads of kindness to go around..." A flush crept up his neck and reached his ears. He often compared himself to sidewalk plants too, though usually from the perspective of how easily they were overlooked and stepped on as if they weren’t even there.

He gave her a soft, sideways smile, lifting the juice pouch a little in quiet cheers. "To sidewalk plants and salamanders then?" He fumbled with the straw, struggling to poke it cleanly through the little designated hole. A bit of juice squirted out, splashing onto his hand and dotting his shirt. Only slightly embarrassing in the grand scheme of things. He licked the juice from his fingers, then blinked in surprise. "Oh...this is sweeter than I thought it would be!"
