Then she picked up her wand which was on the ground before someone could accidentally step on it and save it into her rucksack until the end of the lesson. The tree didn't need more water.
Aaaawww, now that really was too sweet.
"Shhh shhh shhh, it's alright," she cooed. Really, it wasn't anything to cry over. Seren smiled softly, and pat Annabeth on the shoulder. Poor dear.
But, there was still work to be done.
Summoning her wagon from the corner, she directed it out into the open, inside where a number of spray bottles with a light brown liquid in them.
"Our last step, is to administer some nutrients to the sapling... so remember, we don't want to smother it with layers of soil or fertiliser..." because that's what they were trying to avoid,
"... so mooncalf solution in a spray bottle is the most effective and efficient means." They did remember how to make mooncalf solution did they not? Either way, they could always brush up on that for revision in their own time.
"So come and grab a bottle and get spraying! Remember, you don't want to waste the resource, but if you over apply... it will dry and it won't cause any harm." It was fail-proof. Really.
Checking the time on her watch, she added,
"You have ten minutes to complete this activity and clean up your area... once yo have done so, you may be dismissed" i.e. the soil on the floor that had fallen from the roots, and the bits of roots... very compost worthy.
OOC: Last two parts! Spraying should be a min of 2 posts! and cleaning up also 2 posts. The lesson will be open for approx 30-36 hours after which it will be closed. Thanks for participating!
