So, Kurumi turned her back on the pot, counted to ten, and then turned back around to promptly stick her finger back in. It felt nice and warm now, like being snuggled up in a blanket and she was almost tempted to attempt to climb into the pot to keep warm ignore that her leg would be the only thing that would really fit. Kurumi understoof that Fireseed plants like the damp and dark, but it was cold and her teeth were chattering slightly.

Which reminded her to check her list. Oh yay! Time to get her seed. Kurumi walked up to Professor Bentley and offered the woman a small bow. "I'm ready for my fireseed, professor," she smiled, nodding in the direction of her pot that now had a healthy amount of steam coming out of it. She put her gloves back on and went over to the collection of seeds and selected one. Despite her dragonhide gloves, Kurumi could STILL feel some of the heat. "Wow..." Kurumi said as her jaw dropped, her violet eyes fixated on the glowing seed in her hands. The way that the glow seemed to swirl inside indicated to her just how much power and energy these seeds contained and Kurumi stood there in awe for a few moments.

Wait...she shouldn't stand here for too long or else risk the seed turning a brownish color. That would be very bad.

Kurumi shuffled her feet back to her pot and very carefully set her seed down inside. The glow intensified, no doubt because of the temperature within the pot as opposed to the greenhouse's seemingly subzero atmosphere. Nodding to herself as she did, Kurumi turned and adjusted to the seed so that it was nestled comfortably within the pot and not too close to any of the walls.

Now...where was her bucket of dirt...

Aha! There it was. Kurumi walked over to her bucket and picked it up. It was much lighter now that she had put some dirt into the pot earlier. Before adding more, Kurumi peeked inside to make sure that her seed was doing alright and, when she saw that it was a vibrant red color, she picked up her small shovel again and began to fill the remaining space with dirt. Once this was done, Kurumi turned the soil with her fingers and patted it down just a bit.

Kurumi removed her gloves again and felt the outside of her pot to make sure that her spell was still in effect. It WOULD be a bad thing if it wore off during midplanting after all. Feeling that it was still nice and warm, Kurumi left her gloves at her station and headed over towards the shed to retrieve a watering can. Her eyes were more adjusted to the darkness now, which was good, so she wasn't stumbling around nearly as much. Her knee did happen to connect with the edge of one of the tables. Ouch.

Finding an appropriate watering can, Kurumi made her way back to her pot.
SPOILER!!: to do

1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up.
3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.
4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it).

5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.

For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. control the temperature and 2. don't over water your seed. Use a VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil.
