I was working in the garden. I was most days now. Got me out of the library and Max off my mind since I hadn't been her babysitter in nearly a month. Some days I missed us hanging out though. But, my shoulder was still healing (almost finished). Maybe when it's fully healed.
Anyway. Today, Xahssa was sitting in the recently placed lawn chairs drinking tea and listening to the piano play (added from my room). I was weeding. And I came upon a little sapling.
"Aww. Its so little!" I said
"What is Seycax?" it must have piqued Xahssa's interest.
"The little sapling. Look!"
"Its adorable! I just want to- What are you doing?!" she asked horrified.
"Weeding. And this little guy. Is. In. The. Way." With each work I gave a tug until it came out of the ground. Xahssa was giving me the saddest look. I was really scared. I had NEVER seen her like that.
"Well, where are you going to put him?"
"In the garbage?" I said with a sarcastic tone.
"But he'll die!"
"He's a tree."
"Can I have him?" She was giving me puppy dog look.
"Yeah, I guess. I really couldn't care. Just make sure to water him." I turned back to my plants."Just don't forget to water- Never mind. Stupid question."

When I finished weeding, I headed into the kitchen for a sandwich. And Xahssa was there with a pot?
"What did you do?" I asked.
"I put BoB in a pot." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Who's BoB?"
"The sapling. See?" She stepped aside and I saw it. A little sapling, almost a foot high with a sign on it. BoB. Xahssa's Pet. If found Please return to Kitchen or Dungeon. I started laughing. It was quite funny.
"Whatever. I gotta go. See you later Xahssa. BoB." And I headed back to my library with a lighter heart then I had had in a while.
