(No it really does not xD)

Laura admittedly wasn't all that well versed in Kyron's language, though she understood him well enough. Some words she didn't recognize but could guess at their meaning with context clues. Now, trying to remember enough to form a reply was a LOT harder, though manageable, at least.

"So nice to meet you! Yours is... not my best either," Laura said with a grin. Every word was spoken slowly, as if dredged up from memory, which it was. Bit by bit, certain useful words she'd memorized were coming back, thankfully, though not enough to be considered anywhere even close to proficient in his language.

Laura looked down at the glowing flower in her hands, its fiery hues a pretty contrast to Kyron's cool tones.

"Very pretty..." She murmured, then looked back up at her new partner.

She nodded in understanding as he spoke, a smile still on her face, and let out a small chuckle at his cheerful disposition. He sort of reminded her of a puppy, in a good way.

Some humans didn't believe interaction with other humans was a good thing, so Laura understood the Verenthians take on them. Especially considering humans were just about the most invasive species to ever crawl from the primordial soup.

Gesturing to the flower in her hands, Laura asked Kyron slowly, "What... what does it like?" She was trying to ask what temperatures, light levels, amounts of water, etc, it thrived in, but didn't know almost all of the words in that sentence, so what she said would have to do.

Laura nodded slowly, having understood enough of the information, at least. Lots of water was easily doable. Partial sun would probably be a good idea, a lot of plants didn't like being in the sun for 12+ hours a day. Although, that was Earth plants, maybe Verenthian plants were different. My, so much to learn! And the animals! Those were interesting too, despite not being Laura's focus. Besides, she'd need to know which ones would try to eat her and which wouldn't. Same with plants, Laura figured that Verenthia had some carnivorous plants like Earth.

She nodded, then looked back down at the glowing flower. "Should get it inside..." She murmured.

At Kyron's question, Laura smiled and said, somewhat slowly again, "It's... it's my new favorite!"

Taking a few steps toward the door, Laura shifted the BlossomSpark flower to her right hand, she took Kyron's hand and led him inside, as most - for lack of a better word - directional words were missing from her vocabulary. She couldn't exactly tell someone to take a left, then a right at the boulder, 'nother left, up the hill, down the slope, over the river and through the woods, to grandma's house we go. But, she could tell Kyron, "Come here," which was what she did.

A few of Laura's coworkers paused to look at them, but none said anything, just nodded or murmured a greeting and carried on with their work.

She led Kyron to her room, letting go of him to replant the flower. The terrariums were set up sort or like steps, 3 tall, and the top was low enough that Laura could reach it easily. She figured the middle one would be the best, as the water started at the top and trickled down thoughout the day, so the top row was sort of swampy, the middle like a forest or near a river, and the bottom more dry.

Humming to herself as she worked, she carefully replanted the flower and packed down a little channel next to it for water to flow though but still soak into the soil. Turning on the water, it sprinkled from a tube running above the top perrarium, soaked into the soil, the excess ran through a second tube from the side of the top tank above the second, the water coming down less heavily. The excess from the second row ran though a third tube and came out as a fine mist over the bottom row.

Stepping back, a pleased smile on her face, Laura looked up at Kyron and asked, "Good?"

(Sorry I've only been able reply once a night the past few days, I've been at work >.< but I'll be free all throughout the week :3)

As soon as Laura caught his teasing tone, she got what he meant without actually understanding the words themselves. Glancing at her hand in his, she found herself blushing a little and frowned up at Kyron.

"Oh shush, not what I meant," Laura huffed, although she was somewhat amused by him.

Being inside, Laura already missed the outdoors. Here, all the smells of the plants are more or less jumbled on top of one another, like 6th-grade band practice. Outside, it was almost more like a gourmet meal in scent form. Yes, there were all sorts of different smells, but they all ebbed and flowed with the breeze instead of everything all at once.

Laura's room was better than the main room, the BlossomSpark flower now pretty much the most attention-grabbing thing in there, both visually and olfactorily, not that that was any issue. It was very pleasant, really.

"Good," She hummed happily, then tilted her head at his question, eyes lighting up.

"Oh, outside please," She said, struggling to contain her excitement. She wanted to see everything, especially at night, since bioluminescence seemed far more common a thing here than on Earth.

(no worries!)

Laura just shrugged, a small, amused smile tugging at her lips. Her eyes followed the lights in his skin, the glowing reminding her of bioluminescent cave fish swimming lazily just under the water's surface.

Laura rather liked the way he talked, neat and proper, and the cadence of his speech was nice and rhythmic. It made it easier for Laura, with her limited knowledge, to understand him.

"Mmmm, I think so," She said, rummaging in her bag of belongings, which she really hadn't had any reason to unpack, and fished out a plain silver comb after a moment. She handed it to him, and like him, really would rather be outside.

The ceiling was at a height that Laura could just barely touch it without standing on her toes, and wasn't exactly made for anyone 7 feet tall.

(ooh, me likes! But c'mon pera, pants, bro needs pants lmfao

also sorry it's short, my brain ain't braining at the moment😔)

Laura dipped her head slightly in acknowledgement as Kyron took the comb, waiting for him to comb his hair so they could go outside.

She tilted her head slightly as he spoke, not quite catching about half the words. Some joke about the ceiling being too low, but the exact words were lost.

As he finished up, she took the comb back, tossing it on her bed. It'd be a good reminder to unpack the rest of her things later. His hand on her shoulder was warm and firm, his hand notably bigger than any human's.

"'Izalright," She mumbled as he apologized. She followed him out, having to think about his words a moment, then a moment more to think up a response.

"Anything. Everything. You pick," She said, smiling.
