[ Mabel stops just a few short feet away, lifting her hand slightly in a short greeting to alert Nala of her presence. ]

... Is that one of the ones you got from Beryl's room?

[fetteredwings]

Oh, yes. I wasn't sure if we should leave them there so I took it. Are you good with plants?

[Waving at her fellow girlypop detective]

[hardyboys]

Not really. I have trouble keeping actual relationships afloat, I'm not sure I could stomach doing that to a plant.

[ She's kidding. ]

I think not overwatering them is the main thing. Or forgetting to water at all.

[ relationship trouble? sounds like the perfect situation for a Succubus to dig into]

Plants are oddly fragile creatures, aren't they? They must have sunlight and just the correct amount of water. Anything else would kill them.

[ gently caressing a leaf]

And how might you be after all of that, Miss Mabel?

[hardyboys]

Not even to mention soil and all of that...

[ She mumbles quietly, running a hand through her hair. ]

I don't know, honestly. It all went by so fast, I'm not really sure what happened. He was just there and then... wasn't.

[ She very visibly got freaked out about it then, but it's hard not to when a guy gets... whatever happened to him. She's fuzzy on the details. ]

How are you?

[fetteredwings]

...it is fine. It wasn't like I particularly knew him but...it wasn't easy watching him disappear like that either.

[She had yet to witness it directly herself. But she had been summoned enough times to know now what the Storm would bring]</small.
