Tapio sighed to himself--Milo Evans could be a bit stubborn on some matters, as he'd learned. And Tapio was reluctant to press the issue during what was, after all, an optional activity. But still, there were safety concerns, so he decided to compromise. "I appreciate your desire for connection, Mr. Evans, but there are safety issues working barefoot in a greenhouse. But since this isn't a class, I think you had better confine your work today to the temporary greenhouse with the new plants--there are no stray tools or potions or other plants there to get in your way." Tapio just hoped he didn't step on a splinter or something; then he would feel guilty about it for the rest of the term.

Tapio looked at her in amazement and concern--those kappas certainly were dangerous. This was the sort of thing he'd been afraid would happen to Isla, though his wife had acted unconcerned about the whole incident, except for Tapio's injury. "Unfortunately I had thrown our last cucumber into the water after the kappa, so we were unable to celebrate with lunch that day. Well, I'm glad you seem unharmed by your experience. You did better than I did, to be sure."

“Here to help with the plants!” Dhruv announced happily to those moving closer to the plants. In other words, they would make sure no overzealous student was going to attempt to fetch a plant that was much too heavy for themselves. Tapio hadn’t said they couldn’t peek at the hidden plants, right?

"Thank you, Dhruv. Perhaps you could help with the students moving the plants--they really are very sensitive and I want to make sure no one uses magic on them, of disturbs them with loud noises or prying off their covers or anything." And it went without saying that that included professors as well.
