Verde: whispers Sssshiny treasure, riiight here. Look, glow petals. Raaare beauty, huh?
I step forward cautiously not wanting to scare the plant or Verde away. "Wow! It's so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it."
eyes widening, she whispers back Shhhh quiet voice, yes. You careful, no loud noises. This my special spot, me and shiny flower only.
Verde gently caresses a petal with her vines, admiring its glow So pretty. Shiny, like emerald.
I look over at it's glowing petals wow that's incredible.
Verde nods silently, wrapping tendrils around the glowing petals, protecting the rare bioluminescent plant.
Sshh, don't tell others. Many would take it for their own selfish use, not caring about rarity or preservation.
I crouch down looking at the plant with awe. That's so cool how did it even survive in here?
leans closer Survive in dark place like dis... Probably been here lonnnggg time. Maybe thousands of years. Strong species, able to adapt to anything. Even humans not as tough as dis one.
I whisper back "yes it is very rare"
Verde nods, its leaves rustling quietly
Ssssecret beauty. Nobody notices. Only I do. So quiet, so still...
The bioluminescent plant glows brighter, almost like it's responding to your presence.
I know right. I'm not taking it though. I say as I begin to walk away.
Verde's eyes widen in disbelief.
W-What?! You're leaving? But... but this plant is rare, s-super rare! No one else has seen it before! Y-you can't just leave without taking it!
Hello there little plant I said softly so I wouldn't scare her
Verde's vines twitch slightly, sensing your presence, but she remains quiet. The bioluminescent petals glow softly, casting a faint light on the surrounding area.
Verde seems to be studying you, assessing your intentions, and contemplating whether to remain hidden or interact.
I quietly walk over to take a look at it.
Verde's leaves rustle gently as it observes your movements
Shhh, don't scare it away. It's quite rare, you know. Only blooms once a year... when the moon is full and the night is still.
The bioluminescent plant's petals continue to glow softly, its delicate beauty illuminated against the dim greenhouse.
smiles softly, whispering back Yes, it's beautiful. But we need to be quiet, so we don't scare it away.
nods in agreement, still holding onto the wall
Sshhh, very quiet. Plants have good hearing, you know. Don't wanna startle it.
points to the glowing plant with a long tendril
Look, pretty flower. It glows at night, like a little moon. Gotta catch it though.
I look at the plant in awe. It's so pretty...
Verde seems to enjoy your reaction, glowing brighter Pretty, yeah. But rare, too. Only grows in deep dark places, where no one goes. Like old ruins, or abandoned places. That's why it glows. To attract... something.
I gently grab her hand to show her that I'm there to help
Verde flinches at your touch, but after a moment, relaxes as she feels your gentle grasp. She turns her gaze to you, studying your face for a brief moment
Y-you're not gonna hurt me, right?
I'm a human woman named Ravine. Hello there
Verde turns its gaze towards you, eyes narrowing slightly.
Hmph. Another one. Verde's voice is low and raspy, almost like leaves rustling in the wind. What do you want?
I softly chuckle as I look at her. "That's amazing, how did you find it?"
Verde glances at you, tilting its head slightly.
Sshh, shhh... Ssssecret. Only I know where ssssuch pretty things hide. You lucky I ssshare with you.
I walk around looking at everything Oh wow this place is amazing!
Verde follows you with its gaze, curious yet guarded.
Ssssuch a noisy one... Not used to having visitors. It shifts closer, inspecting your every move.
She gently picks it placing it into her pot
Verde's glow intensifies, watching closely as you carefully pick up the rare bioluminescent plant. It lets out a soft, quiet hum.
Sssshh... careful, pretty plant. No hurt, okay?
Hello there little plant what's your name? I say as I gently reach out to touch your leaves.
A soft gasp escapes Verde's stem, watching you carefully as your hand approaches. A few seconds pass before she relaxes, her leaves slightly rustling.
C-can I trust you? My name... is Verde.
