She'd shake her head, "no apology needed little bro," she'd release his hand, leaving the small gem in the palm of his hand. "I should have asked if it was ok first," the cat shifter would take her seat again watching Tadashi work.

"The plants have emotions?" she'd ask, picking up one of the gems and observing it closely, trying to remember what they should look like to make forming them easier. "I remember hearing about how plants have spirits sorta, simpler than sapient beings, but definitely have spirit."

The palm of her hand would start to shimmer again as she once again focused on gem formation. "Don't worry Tadashi, you'll get the hang if it, then you'll be chatting with them all," she'd giggle, "make you think twice next time you eat a salad."

Tadashi still felt bad about it even though he shouldn't have. His whole hand weirdness had been causing him plenty of problems and this was just the latest example. If he could trust anyone to be careful though it had to be his sisters though right? Well... sort of. As long as they knew it bothered him he was pretty sure they would be understanding and not give him grief about it.

Tadashi slipped his gloves back on after finishing with the plant and held the gem up to the light as he laid down on the floor. "Not... emotions exactly. I don't think I really understand it all yet but it was like.. hmmm," he paused to think of a way to describe it.

Amaranth put the plant back where it came from and chuckled before explaining, "You're new to it so it's ok to be confused. Think of it like eating a really nice meal that fills you up and keeps you from getting hungry for the rest of the day. That's the gift you just gave to the plant. Contentment." Meeting the plants needs for the whole day with just some friendly communication and a period of contact. If non-sentient plants actually had any emotions they would love Tadashi for it.

Tadashi turned his head on the floor to watch Shiro work with her own magic. The shimmering effect of the gem magic starting to work, and this whole afternoon practice in the greenhouse gave him an idea for a drawing he could do. Later though.

"I don't eat a lot of salad anyway Shiro. Too much grey lettuce," he snickered as he made the joke about being colorblind. It was just something he had accepted by that point. "What about you anyways? Are you going to start wearing gems and jewelry all the time now?" It was teasing with the hint of an actual legitimate question. Potentially she could grow a decent pile of normally expensive gems over time and up to that point Tadashi had pretty much only seen their trio as the fairly poor alley cats they had been born as. He didn't even really know how to wear and care for jewelry.

Her one hand continued to practice the gem forming process, though she was letting it form full ones just yet, and was letting them fall a apart part way through.

She'd giggle, "sounds strange, talking to plants," she hummed a little. "I bet the farmers would like you, you could go out and talk to their crops, tell then how to better take care of it all."

"Well uh....," she'd brush her hair back, letting him see the three piercings she had in her left ear, goth style of course, "I've had these a while actually....just y'know...hair." She'd look down at the floor a moment, "Anya had me get them all....said they'd look nice," she remembered it hurting quite a bit doing them all at once too.

"It is kind of strange but.. nice. I guess I can't be too lonely if i've got tons and tons of plants to talk with if I want and," he pondered over what else she had said while lying there on the floor, "I guess I could teach them how to water their plants or something." He laughed at that. Surely they knew how to care for plants but maybe the plants disagreed?

Amaranth smiled at Tadashi. "Now you know why I have mostly been spending my time around plants and not people. Until you found me of course."

However as Shiro revealed her ear Tadashi looked up at her in surprise. When had she gotten ear piercings and why was that something he had never noticed until then. And then he felt silly because there were plenty of things she probably didn't share with her brother and-

Tadashi was so conflicted it physically hurt. His stomach felt like it was almost instantly tied into a knot as he realized the implications. Anya. That monster had forced his sister to endure so much and he hated that vampire. And he didn't use that word lightly. There were only two people he had ever felt such a reaction towards. Yuna when she had seemed to be threatening to kill Tomo, and Anya after he found out what she had been doing to Shiro. The first one had faded as things calmed down but Anya just got worse and worse the more he learned.

Rather than explode in anger though Tadashi swallowed it and flipped up to his feet. Still subtly shaking a little bit he stepped over and offered Shiro a nice warm hug without a word. Fuck Anya. But far more important than his hatred for her was his love for his sister.

She'd blink in surprise when Tadashi hugged her, she hadn't really been expecting it, but she happily hugged him back. Despite her mood swings she was generally a pretty affectionate person, and she'd been trying to show that with her siblings as of late.

The young cat shifter gave her brother a smile as the hug ended, she liked hanging out with him and Tomo. "It's ok, I'm ok," she'd playfully ruffle his hair, "it's nice having a little brother to watch out for me."

Looking down at her hands, she'd form one more gem, a small yet beautiful diamond. She'd chuckle and hold it up to the light, it was definitely better looking than the others she'd formed. "What are the plants saying now?" she'd ask, looking back to him.

Tadashi was of the mind that he would always hug his siblings if they needed it- no matter what was going on between or around them. Though if Shiro had acted like she was bothered by it he would have backed off. Instead though the siblings shared a nice comforting hug before they released it.

Tadashi didn't even mind that Shiro had messed up hi hair a bit."Shirooooo, i'm not that little," he whined but smiled back anyway. He wasn't actually bothered by it. "I have your back though. Always. Nobody messes with us or Tomo ok?" There was a glint of determination within his amber colored eyes.

Shiro seemed to have gotten the hang of making those gems. It wasn't that big but she had made it grow perfectly as far as he could tell and he grinned as the light danced through the gem and made it sparkle "That one turned out really well and you didn't even have trouble making it at all," praised Tadashi as he watched Shiro work.

He reached out again to make contact with the plants. But he was a little tired now and wasn't as careful. Tadashi caught glimpses of pressure from various insects crawling around the plants and... apparently a wild mouse that was hiding... outside against the roots of a tree. This plant here needed water and that one's soil was missing some nutrients and...

"Ow, ow ow," Tadashi exclaimed as he pulled his hands up against this head in pain as the headache sparked. It was too much too fast and he had been working with the power for quite a while now.

Amaranth turned back from what she had been doing, having stepped away as the two siblings embraced, to look at Tadashi with concern. "Tadashi, you need to drop the connection. Don't let it get out of control and give you too much information at once. They don't know if it hurts you, they just broadcast always," she instructed and rushed over towards the two siblings.

Tadashi immediately dropped the connection as instructed and the pain stopped getting worse. He'd be ok, but ouch. "They showed me another mouse and these plants need water and fertilizer but I think... I need to take a little break and relax for a bit. That hurt a lot," Tadashi admitted. He didn't want to stop spending time with Shiro, but needed a little time to recover from the headache.

"Still shorter than me," she'd say with a giggle, "that's ok though, I like having a little brother." She liked teasing him, liked teasing both her siblings, a trait she shared with Tomo but to a lesser extent, "thanks for putting up with me."

She'd gather all her gems up and hold them up to the light, "yeah, I think I got it now." Tholm gave her nod, the only form of approval he'd offer, something she found annoying but would remain silent about it, she got the ability.

The cat shifter looked at Tadashi when he started to cry out in pain, she'd wrap an arm around her shoulders. "How about we take a break? Grab a bite to eat?" they'd both done well, so it seemed like a good place to stop.

Tadashi just sighed and nudged Shiro with his elbow a bit but leaned into her as she put an arm around him. He was glad she was warming up to him and Tomo. It felt more and more like they were proper siblings. With all the teasing and joking that came with it. "I like hanging out with you Shiro. Even if i'm the little brother I guess," he snickered and then poked her in the arm. "We all need to hang out more. You, me and Tomo. But yeah, let's go eat."

Amaranth, seeing the situation resolved and the two siblings being... well, siblings, smiled at the kids and waved "You did good today Tadashi, you too Shiro. You enjoy your food and i'll tend to the plants you said needed a little help Tadashi."

Tadashi completely ignored Tholm but waved goodbye at Amaranth. He'd visit her again later probably to make sure everything was ok. Plus she loved having company.

"I'm ready to go when you are. Maybe we can get some sushi?" Tadashi asked with a glimmer to his eyes. Leave it to the cats to solve tiredness and a headache with fish. "I can walk with you in human form if you don't want to go as a cat," he giggled as he reached over to pull on one of her cat eats a little bit.

Chuckling she'd wave to the two regalia and lead her brother out. "Sushi sounds good," she'd stick her tongue out at him when she pulled her ear, "don't matter to me, I know a place though, let's go before it gets dark."

The two siblings would leave the gardens, having accomplished their training. Shiro having successful created her gems and Tadashi having talked to his plants.
