[even from where he's standing, he can notice the shift in the flowers, and it makes his eyebrows lift with confusion. how do flowers just move on their own like that? surely it's a trick—

{They're alive, of course! They can be shy and cautious of everyone other than the Fairies who tend to them - as he will see when they are in more human shapes. The two flowers tuck themselves against Xiao Lanhua, eyes wide.}

{One of the little flowers reaches out a pudgy hand for Mystery.}
I will help them gain a form like mine in time, so they can keep you company.
[it really, truly is surprising. he didn't think it was possible and yet here he is, looking at two adorable little flowers, both of whom are very much alive and moving.]
Hello, [he says it softly, like if he speaks any louder, it might frighten them further.
when one of them reaches out, he slowly raises a hand and brings it forward, holding out his index fingertip to gently touch the flower's hand.]
