ORIGIN

Action. Thought. "Speech."

"its all good! lets try again!" he chirped happily, smiling brightly as she seemed to ease, casting the spell again and looking at the cool little sprouts, still fascinated by the magic.

he did the same, chewing up the leaves, which this time had a very nice, almost minty flavor, and rubbed it on his leg. after a few moments, the area around his leg not only seemed to numb the most painful area, but also make his leg feel almost cool! it felt SO much better, and the relief was visible in his expression, letting out a relieved sigh.

"these were the ones! my leg feels so much better!! you did it, Fairy!" he cheered, looking at her in almost adoration, he wished he could do stuff like that. magic was scary, but the idea was definitely one he dreamed of getting to one day. just for his own amusement if anything else. "if we can find more of these plants, we could start a little garden! actually, we could grow a big garden for all the helpful stuff we find! this was wonderful, fairy, thank you!" he rambled on, ideas forming in his lil noggin.

Action. Thought. "Speech."

"yes, yes! i told you we could do it!" he chirped happily. he was able to stand up a little better now, staying off of the leg but noticing the redness was going down a bit, which meant good things!

"absolutely! anything for my brilliant assistant in plant-finding!" he mewed, carefully digging his claws into the ground to uproot the rest of the tiny plants. "we'll need somewhere to put these later so we can grow more on our own on the offchance theyre hard to find, maybe a cup or a pot of some sorts? i'll hold onto them, we can do something about that when we get back!"

he let out a small "oop!" at the sudden butterfly hug, but did his best to hug her back without hurting her as he could. "yes! yes, for all sorts of things! food, medicinal plants and herbs, all sorts of different types of things! so not only we can heal people, we can feed them too! put people in charge of it, this is brillaint! great minds work alike, eh?" he chirped happily, giving her a playful nudge. "i dont know what i would've down without you, flutters, this is a big moment!"

Action. Thought. "Speech."

he was practically beaming with joy and inspiration, "yes, yes, yes! we'll have to remember to do that when we get back, and it cant be too hard to make something like that, can it? if others have, we can too!" he barked happily. he smiled warmly at fairy calling him her friend, wiping away a small tear. it should've been obvious they were, but hearing it made him happy.

he turned his attention to the new plants fairy sprouted, leaning down to look at them, carefully clutching the other sprouts with his tail, sniffing them lightly. "these are quite interesting! im gonna try something different, hold on." he chirped, taking some of the leaves, chewing them up, and then just... straight up swallowing it.

it did take a second, when you eat things it always does, it needs time to move through your system, but after a minute or so, forgraves noted that, despite the previous plant having worn off by now, his leg still felt relatively better, and now, it was beginning to feel like he never even injured it at all. tight and pinchy, yes, but the pain was mostly relieved. and, better yet, it didn't seem to stop working after another minute, meaning this was probably a good general pain reliever for long-term use rather than quick numbing, though using them in quick succession of the other is definitely something he'll have to test later, see if its as effective with only one or the other, or if its better with both.

"another brilliant discovery, fairy!" he beeped. "we'll have to look for these too! it seems these are much better for consumption than manual application, i'll have to test if they work better together or alone, it depends! see how the other plant reacts to consumption aswell, the possibilities are practically endless!" he finished, looking down and carefully digging those out aswell, holding them tightly in his tail with the others.

"we should probably find where these grow naturally before we do any more new ones, if we can find out the conditions they typically grow in we can attempt to imitate it one way or another, i wonder if its possible to create mini-environments for them, wouldn't that be interesting?" he suggested.

Action. Thought. "Speech."

he nodded at her words, excited and full of curiosity. "of course, of course! very careful, wouldn't want to accidentally poison myself!" he joked.

he thought, pacing around. when fairy brought up the garden he nearly exploded again. "thats a brilliant idea, fairy! theres fu- frick tons of different plants there! so many possibilities and combinations, so many things to try, oh you're brilliant! we shouldn't waste any time at all, i have things i need to pick up, and then we'll be off! oh fairy, thank you!" he chirped in delight, giving her the best hug a fox could to a giant magic bug without hurting her, and just.... darting off. he must be real excited!

"i'll meet you back here later!! dont wait up!" he called behind him
