After listening to Erin’s introduction and Briar’s somewhat embarrassing appraisal, Tsubasa was about to introduce himself as the plant avatar when Danny did it for him. He smiled at the dark-skinned man, before turning to Warren.
“Well, I’m not very good at controlling it yet,” he said with a small laugh, “but I think plants might surprise you.” He glanced back at the dirt thermos. It was transparent, so he could see the holly plants sprouting there. Defensiveness, but also domestic happiness. Probably more of the former than the latter. He made a mental note to try and not rub Warren the wrong way. Men (including himself) sometimes got angry about the smallest things, and he had a suspicion that if it came down to a fight, Warren would have the upper hand. He made another note to look up fireproof plants, if there were any.
He glanced at Erin, Briar and Oliver. Erin seemed like a cheerful, friendly person, whom he liked immediately. They would probably be able to get along. Briar, on the other hand, seemed very interesting and a little intimidating. He might have to clear up the minor issue of his sexuality if her comments were an indication of future action. Oliver seemed to be a bit awkward, but judging by his answer he seemed to be really competent. Which was interesting in and of itself. He also wasn’t very good at controlling his powers, which Tsubasa was guiltily thankful for. Maybe they could practice together, later on. Water and plants tended to get along well.
He was just about to talk to Erin or Briar about what had been happening before he had arrived when something that seemed like Danny’s voice burst into his head.
Tsubasa looked at the others. Although he’d seen which direction Danny had exited, he didn’t know where the control center was at all. He cleared his throat gently.
“Um, does anyone know where the control center is?”he asked, an urgent feeling making his feet itch. Something felt wrong.
