[font=trebuchet ms]Come to think of it, the succulent did seem familiar now that he had a closer look at it. Truth be told, while he was (at least in his own mind) a skilled fighter and decent survivalist, botany had never been his strong suit. Examining the plant closely, he raised a brow when Amaranth mentioned them being just for show. Was that enough of a reason to devote time and energy to a plant? Perhaps it would be for someone who cared more about aesthetics, but that wasn't his style.
The chili pepper, though, seemed interesting. Plants with bright colors tended to be poisonous, but if Amaranth was to be believed, these weren't- they just burned one's tongue. That they tasted good when cooked, however, was the strangest part. Adding heat to something that would burn your mouth would make it taste better?
As Amaranth put the chili away, Paper turned his attention back to her. "Not yet, no," he answered, with a shrug. When asked which one he would like, however, he looked back at the plants. She was just giving him one, no questions asked or hoops to jump through? Then again, that seemed to be the Typhoon's way.
His initial instinct, he reflected with a glance at the pots, was to go with the cactus. It was, after all, what he had grown up with, and its tough exterior reflected a tough individual. However, surrounding himself with memories of his past wasn't really the best way to move forward and become stronger, at least not in any way he could immediately see. If he wanted a truly fresh start, the chili pepper would be the best choice.
Focusing in on one of the yellow chili plants, Paper lifted a paw and pointed at it. "That one." After a moment, he asked, "Out of curiosity, were you planning to give out the plants according to divisions?" It would make sense, with the three types of plants, to devote one type to each division. Internally, he wondered which division's plant he'd chosen, if indeed that was true.
