“Greetings my friends and lovely flesh-eating plants!”Ethan showed up in Greenhouse 8 with his arms wide open as he did his morning greeting. Well, he isn’t too early now so the loud greeting was appropriate. Appropriate in case someone in the room is sleepy and all that—they don’t want to wake up inside a plant’s belly, no? Or maybe inappropriate because he might startle a grumpy flesh-eating plant who wants some peace and quiet in the morning? Well, whatever…his lovely digits are still complete, so he guessed it was all good.

“Hello, Professor Bentley!” Waves and a smile for the professor. She looked really happy today, and that helped Ethan feel a lot better. “Reporting for duty, Madame! What are we going to do today?” Feed the plants? Fertilize? Trim? Can he start now???
