The prefect decided to go with ticklish to help her calm her nerves that Xavier might decide her small nose looked like something to grab on to. Gently, Kurumi began to massage the roots, loosening the soil around them and removing any excess soil. He did look sort of funny with that pot shaped mass of dirt attached to him, but it was gone now.
"Do we need to add any fertalizer into the hole first?" she asked, feeling a little less nervous around the plant now that it seemed like he was ticklish. Everything had its weakness, even flesh eating plants.
Now that Xavier wasn't so restricted he seemed to relax a little. And by relax, he didn't seem as cranky and grabby, snappy as before.
"Good job," she said watching the prefect massage the excess soil off the roots. Seren was fairly certain that Xavier appreciated the gesture.
"Just a light sprinkle as we'll be adding a bit more afterward. Check the moisture of the soil first though, if its too dry you'll need to sprinkle a bit of water in there as well." Plants did not like dry homes at all. It would be the equivalent of being told to sleep on dry grass. Not a comfortable experience.
