"Probably not but it's not our fault it decided to grow in the grow spot and now it's helping us make some more room for some of its healthier friends to thrive." Yep, the ones they were uprooting were helping other roots grow for more pumpkins. It was a good way to look at it, right?

Bry grinned brightly at Drake's interest in her training. "That's actually an epic question. A lot of the time I'm so in the zone that I just know what I need to do but in my head I remind myself what's next, how far I need to jump or how many swings it might take to get across a certain area. I'm sorta than most still so that can be good for me but also bad." So much went in Ninja Warrior stuff. She had to train as often as she could which never seemed to be enough. Grabbing another handful of weeds Bryony yanked hard on them but these ones seemed to be stuck causing her to have to keeping pulling at them. "Thanks! It's partly your idea too to decorate the dorms." She had only suggested bringing ones back for Ary and themselves. Giving the weeds in her hands a good wiggle to try to loosen them free was helping a bit. "No, I don't think so. I get along with most of them. Etta and Phoebe are really nice." When it came to favorites that was reserved for her family and Aryan.
Well considering he didn't see any plausible future in which they could completely ignore each other (nor was he actively looking for one of those), Drake was certain he would at some point see exactly what she meant! "You think this can also be considered the circle of life? Just.... The circle of a plant life?" Pumpkins DID provide a source of decor, entertainment AND food which made them far more worthwhile to give the ground nutrients to than a cluster of foxtails, which were odious little plants.

It was important to her. And if Drake wanted them to be able to continue the path of their own friendship they'd seemed to have started without Ary's company during the summer, then he knew the best place to start was Bryony 's interests. And truly, her hobby WAS fascinating. "So sounds like in summary, a little bit of both?" From what he gathered, her body just KNEW what to do based on how often she trained it and yet her mind was still always thinking of the next task at hand while her muscles completed the current. It was truly fascinating, but even more so impressive. Drake couldn't imagine being able to so efficiently multitask at anything the way that she did. He watched her for a moment as she hugged a new clump, checking to see if she looked like she was also going to fall, before moving on once more. Drake's added suggestion had merely come from not wanting anyone else to feel left out. If he was bringing something for Ary, he'd like to do the same for Jan and even in Bry's dorm Pheebs would love to receive a plant while Etta could always use something to make her smile. "I like them both a lot." The ones she'd named were people he considered close friends as well. It was nice how well knit the Slytherins of their age primarily seemed to be.
