There was no point in dwelling on the 3/4 that would never be. For some reason puffapods didn't like that measurement (clearly that was it) and she'd have to respect that. Weird plant. Just when she was coming to accept that measurement for what it was!

Lex reached into her pocket and pulled out her gloves then slipped them on. The Professor was just over there and probably would have had a problem with her working without them. Right then, onto the work--

SOPHIE!!!

"Hai!!!" GRIN. Ah hah! She knew there would be more puffs showing up! It was like a feeling--no, it was the inevitable. They were everywhere and they popped up like rabbits or hamsters!!! Nodnodnod. "It has been ages, I take it the goblin got away with the Emeralds?" She left before Sophie did so the girl would have seen more than she had.

While she spoke she got to filling the pot until it was half full. Half; the nerve of it all. Next, she was meant to drop the seed? Just drop it? "Neat, we can just drop 'em." And she did. After picking up her seed she let it go and watched it fall to the floor. Plant care. Riiiiight.
