In Natlan, everyone knew Ororon had one of the most thriving gardens in the region. His ability to tend the soil, to read the moisture in the leaves and know when a root was ready, was almost magical.

His little ears twitched gently.
“I… yes, I mean, if I'm not bothering you. It's just… I like seeing your smile when you try the ones I grow for you.”
Ororon stood still for a second… then covered his face with his cap, clearly trying to hide how much he was melting.
