Magic water does the trick, I guess.

[ Is The Plant Going To Eat Them ]

[rescuebullet]

[She'll place it back on the table, fascinated.

Will it grow legs and try to kill them later?]

Do you know what kind of plant this is?

[chromatized]

No idea. But it looks nice, doesn't it?

[ i hope it suffocates them with pollen and grows 7 legs ]

[rescuebullet]

[ Mutated ass plant that's asking for blood. ]

It does. Flowers are so pretty.

[chromatized]

[ it'll make the petals such a pretty pink! ]

Do you want to take it back to the boarding house? I think there's some pots around here we could use to transplant it.

[rescuebullet]

[ More death more death ]

Maybe we can keep it in the front area? It'll be easier to observe there.

[chromatized]

[ yippeeeeeeeeee ]

That would look nice.

[ ... ]

I wonder if we'll have to keep giving it well water...?

[rescuebullet]

... Do you think it'll need that water the whole time?

[Oddly zombie plant resurrected by well water.]

[chromatized]

I know there are some plants you have to water every day, but there are others that need less?

[ hm ]

Maybe we can just give it a little well water when it looks like it's wilting.

[ but it's time to rummage around for a little hand shovel! that won't be taken (by Ludger) so it doesn't need to be reported!!! ]

[rescuebullet]

... I haven't ever cared for a plant before... I don't know what kind this one is.

[Ludger no stealing.]

[chromatized]

[ it's not stealing it's borrowing! ]

... Are you worried it'll die again while we're figuring it out?

[rescuebullet]

A little bit. I'd hate to make a plant suffer through that.

[chromatized]

Hmm... Well, in that case, we can leave it here, and check on it regularly?

[ and, gently, he'll point out: ]

Katan and a few others did some experiments with plants around the well. When they were removed from the area and given regular water, they did die. But when they were returned to their spot around the well, they revived. This plant might behave the same way, now that well water has been introduced to it.

[rescuebullet]

[Zombie plants...

She frowns softly but gives Ludger a small nod.]

I guess we should keep making sure it's getting well water to stay alive.

[chromatized]

Sure.

[ a beat ]

You really care about these plants - is it because of the whole...?

[ 'your planet wants you dead' thing? ]

[rescuebullet]

I've never really gotten to care for plants before. It would be nice to make sure this one survived.

[maybe somewhere in her subconscious it's related to the planet wanting her dead.

But maybe it's just the desire to keep one thing alive.]

[chromatized]

We'll take care of it, then.

[ this plant is not allowed to Die ever ]

Were you too busy with school for gardening before? Or was it other things?

[ he Means extra-curriculars ]

[rescuebullet]

I wasn't involved in any clubs. I was busy helping my mom with research.

[chromatized]

[ a researcher... and Nozomi helped? Ludger can't really imagine directly helping Julius with his R&D research. ]

What kind of research?

[rescuebullet]

It was the medical kind. She was really involved in it, so I didn't see her most of the time.

[chromatized]

[ ... hm ]

So you two were doing research together... separately?

[rescuebullet]

Not exactly.

When I was really little I really couldn't do much to help. So I barely got to see her. When I got older, I convinced my mom I could.

[chromatized]

... Congratulations? It must be nice seeing your mom more.

[ surely! ]

[rescuebullet]

Thank you. It was really nice.

[chromatized]

"Was"...?

[ please let the answer be normal and not something like "yeah after our reunion she got blown up in a train crash." ]
