The Botanist

The Botanist (a.k.a. Botany)

You hear their humming as you enter their domain, and the first thing you truly see is plants. Plants surrounding you as far as one could see. Pushing back the growth, you finally spot their form working on potted plants in their gardens. They continue to work for a moment, then stop once they sense you. "Well, hello!" They greet you with a smile, their avatar's dimples making themselves known.   They turn around, showing in their arms that they hold a watering can, clearly full to the brim. "Come to see me, I presume? Or did you get lost on the way to Morti's plane?" They laugh at their jest, then continue after you nod. "Ah, well it's always nice to see a disciple. I love having them visit. Is this a routine visit or do you truly need something my little sprout?"   You shake your head, no you don't need anything. You explain you just wanted to see their beautiful garden and chat as you usually do. They grin widely. "Great. Now, come over here and help me out, I can't water everything alone."
