be curious, not judgmental Myers was totally batty, but it was kind of entertaining to watch him talk on and on about poop, essentially. One manure, one dry material, one wet material. Easy enough, really, as was the straw she was going to put on top of the soil - and when they were allowed to do so, Soph gathered her straw for that purpose, grabbing a nice healthy handful, and sprinkled it throughout her crate so it evenly coated the surface.
She did NOT want to use chicken manure, she realized as Myers talked about it... and... cow manure made her think of and miss Tobes, so that was out of the question... Abraxans also weirdly made her think of Tobes, so... Knarl manure it was. It was the only proper option that she could bear. Knarls were cute anyway - she didn't mind handling their droppings.
After putting on her dragonhide gloves, Soph hurried to the back of the room to collect her three buckets - she didn't want to do five, only three things to keep it simple - and first she gathered the Knarl manure in a healthy amount in one bucket, unfazed by the task she was doing. When she got to the moist materials, Soph gave each and every material a good, long consideration. She liked... the potato peels, so she gathered those and put them inside her next empty bucket. As for the dry materials, Soph ended up staring at this one for a shorter amount of time, eventually impulsively just picking the pine needles to add to her final bucket. Easy peasy.
Returning to her tabletop, Soph set down her three buckets and peeked over at Rooney's buckets. And... HE HAD chosen to do five buckets. Maybe... maybe she needed to go back for two more? If that's what the other people were doing, then maybe the MORE THE MERRIER. Or... maybe, at the very least, if she got two more, she'd have more options to choose from if she decided to use less. Yes. That was a much better idea.
Leaving her three buckets back with Rooney, Soph rushed to the back of the room to collect two more buckets then lingered in front of her options for a moment. She would... try... coffee grounds in one bucket, then apple cores in the other, then returned to Rooney again, looking awfully chipper and confident this time.
All READY TO GO.
