But...WOULDN'T CARROTS LOOK SO CUTE IF THEY COULD TALK AND STUFF?
Paul thought so. He smiled when he heard someone approach and smiled wider when he saw it was Emmalyn. "I am, m'dear! Come right up!" he said warmly. He felt muuuuuuch better recently.
Her light steps took her a bit further up the stairs and onto the main Edible Garden level before she heard his reply. She felt instantly at ease by the sound of his voice. Not too long ago he had looked deathly ill and she had feared the worst for her beloved head of house.
“Hello, sir, you are looking much better than you did in class.” She moved closer and eyed the carrots he was near.
“How are you feeling? You gave us all quite the scare.” Her eyes moved up and down his face, looking for any sign of illness remaining. He had looked so pale that day. She shivered at the thought.
Her hand absentmindedly brushed the tops of the leafy greens in the garden to her right. The gentle tickle against her palm put a slight grin on her face. She always found comfort from living things and food, so being near edible plants was one of her happy places.
