SPOILER!!: Wee Ickle Cutty

Tobias, being Tobias, smiled when Cutty started to laugh. He liked to make people smile, after all. Even when the boy spoke, Tobias kept on smiling. It wasn't his usual grin, but he was still happy that the other boy was happy, and of COURSE, Tobias was always ready to help.

"That's okay! A lot of people don't like talking to plants and stuff, 'cause I mean they aren't really sentient, you know? But they... are? But not. I think they just... sense stuff. Like how people can sense emotions," Toby half-explained, looking back at the shrub he'd been talking to. It was difficult to explain how he believed the plants were sort of semi-sentient, and given the way this boy had laughed, maybe it was a bit much to try and explain straight away.

Anyway, yes... the plants.

Toby took half a step back again, ready to focus on the plants and get all down on their level, and looked thoughtfully around the greenhouse. "You could always help clean the place?" he suggested, before he caught sight of a nearby flutterby bush. "Or you could help me trim and prune away some of the dead parts of these shrubs? Or water some of the ones I missed?"

With that, Tobias got down onto his knees again and sort of gently ran his fingers over some of the leaves on the wiggenbush again, communicating that he was still here. "It's a shame about the dung... it always helps to have some. But unless you happen to know a dragon nearby that's been on a high-fibre diet..."

Ahem.

Yeah.

Best get on with the plant stuff.

It was. Did this kid say what he thought he'd said? That plants are responsive to love? Care, obviously in the sense that if you wanted a plant to grow you needed to give a darn enough to let it have sun and water ~~even if Cutty had never actually seen this successfully done for his mum's black thumb~~. But not in the sense that you would share your sweets with it. Though, apparently that was EXACTLY the type of care this kid was talking about. Unable to hold back the laughs anymore, the muscles in Cutty's mouth gave way and he let loose a little chuckle which was then followed by a full burst of laughter. "What?! That's mental!" He said disbelieving. "If you want to to sing to them or take them shopping, be my guest. But, if I'm going to help you there's noo way I'm singing to anything that can't sing back." He paused as soon as this sentence came out of his mouth to consider it's accuracy. "Or anything." He finished driving the message home. After the laughs had died down, Cutty looked over the taller boy and considered him. This kid seemed like he had a VERY good chance of being Professor Bentley's pet as she was seen stroking the leaves of a plant at the beginning of class that day they had their first ever class. It would behoove Cutty to remain co-operative towards the boy if he wanted to get ahead in Herbology, which he did, even if there wasn't anything to be done about the occasional hysterics this relationship promised. "But I still want to help you." Yes, because that was tooootally what was going on here. Cutty was helping Tobias. M'mm-H'mm. Why not. "Got anything OTHER than taking them on romantic walks on the shore?" Tobias, being Tobias, smiled when Cutty started to laugh. He liked to make people smile, after all. Even when the boy spoke, Tobias kept on smiling. It wasn't his usual grin, but he was still happy that the other boy was happy, and of COURSE, Tobias was always ready to help. "That's okay!
