I don't know, either. I'm just saying, it's not like it's impossible he did exactly what Ms. Firefly said.

[ it still leaves a bad taste in his mouth, but it's not like they have anything else to go off of.

...chrono surprises him by asking about the vines, though, and he absently reaches up to pull at them a little bit. ]

It hurts a little bit, but it'll probably go away eventually.

I want to believe Ms. Firefly, too. It's better to trust people.

[ the "but" hangs unspoken.

his head kind of rolls heavily to the side to squint at the vines in question. his own ticking gears have slowed to a lethargic pace. ]

D'you know what kind of plant they're from?

It would be easier if we didn't have to have these trials at all.

[ unfortunate that it's a mg! ]

Not sure. It's not one I recognize, but I only know the plants demiflora are named after. [ ... ] They don't have thorns now, so it's not as bad as before.

[clockpunk]

Thorns. Damn.

[ half-lifts a hand, but thinks better of it. ]

[outdistanced]

[ shrugs. ]

It's like your... [ gestures vaguely at chrono's gears and clockwork parts. ] It doesn't go away. I just have to deal with it. It's not usually bad, for whatever that's worth.

It looks kinda cool, y'know. Plants. One of my friends could've probably told you what it is, but I don't know anythin' about 'em either.

[ shrugs. his own transformation being pointed out has his expression flatten a little. ]

The ticking's annoying.

[ snorts. ]

Just ‘cause I’m a demiflora... [ fantasy racism smh. ] I think this place just decided to make me eat my words when I told people I’m not really part plant.

Wanna trade? Not that I’d recommend it.
