"But they're fairly easy to plant and I think I remember all the steps.. Good to have the preparation all written down anyway." He smiled at her organization, then pulled his pot a little closer to him to get ready to plant. Of course, he still needed his seed..
He nodded towards Minerva as she offered to obtain seeds for both of them and he spotted Eliza entering the greenhouse as he waited. Giving her a smile and casual little wave, he said,
"Hey, Eliza.. doing well, how about yourself?" When wasn't he doing well when he was in his element? Hardly ever.. He smiled a bit to see her working with their captain, then turned back to his girlfriend as she returned.
Ethan gave her a curiously look as Min seemed unsure of herself, then he smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly right," he said, gauging the height at which she raised her arm. He gently brought her arm down with his hand and held the seed closer to her.
"See this groove here?" he said, pointing it out along one side of the seed.
"You'll want to make sure it's facing down when you drop it. It's the fragile perimeter that will burst open." He was sure she'd remember once she started, but wouldn't hurt to help her out, right?
He picked up his own seed, then held it up to about his shoulder level, making sure the fragile perimeter was facing down. Ethan dropped the seed, watching it burst into flower as it hit the floor.
"Easy, right?" Ethan grinned before picking up the newly-blossomed Puffapod and gently shaking out its roots, then placing it in the pot on top of the soil.
Minerva rechecked her notes as he glanced at them, well that was good that he didn't think she was completely odd for writing them down. Now it was time to do this puffapod drop. She smiled as Ethan put his hand on her arm, well if this is how all homework was going to go maybe she would be much eager to work on it, not that she wasn't anyway, but this was especially better then just normal homework.
Anyway back to the little seed thingy...
She tried to get her mind back into the actual homework as she heard him say something about make sure the what was down.. Oh no.. umm sure she knew what he said. Yep.. exactly what he said.
Then she watched as he raised his and she started chuckling a bit,
"Aww is that why you love me so much, I'm the height of the puffapod drop.." She knew she was much shorter then him, but it never really seemed to bother him and it sure didn't bother her.
"I'm your little puffapod..
Still laughing she smiled at Eliza,
"Hey Eliza, how are you." Oh now.. back to work.. game face Minerva.. She raised her hand again,
" 5...4..3...2...1." she dropped the seed to the ground and watch it burst into the pretty flower.
"I love these" she commented really to no one, bending down to pick it up she shook gently to get the roots out. Still holding it she looked back at Ethan.
"What's next boss?" She gave him a teasing smile.
