REDVOX "VINNY" ABRAMO - cis male - goat-bat hybrid - harbinger

Vinny hadn't sure how, exactly, someone could be a plant expert at only a marginal level. After all, the use of the term expert was pretty damning when it came to "knowing what the fuck you were talking about." Still, Redvox chose not to point this out to Aslisk, just so that he wouldn't attract any unneeded ire from the female. It seemed as though the two of them were actually getting along, with their casual small talk and little joking jabs at each other. It was pleasant, and he didn't want to take a dig too hard and ruin everything. Instead he chose to focus on Aslisk's wandering eyes, watching the way that she looked the plants all around her up and down, more than just a couple of times. It was as if she were watching the plants, just to make sure that they didn't up and walk away, or shrivel dead before her very eyes. Thankfully, for the most part the plants of this world were fairly resilient, unless you were dealing with something particularly special and sensitive, which Redvox didn't really think they were, considering he had been able to drag them all out here without any issues presenting themselves thus far. That wasn't to say that problems couldn't arise eventually, especially if the weather decided it wanted to take a turn for the considerably less pleasant, but Vin wasn't especially worried about that at the moment. The skies were still crystal clear, and unless someone with elementals really wanted to ruin their day, he doubted he wouldn't be able to notice an approaching storm.

Unfortunately for Redvox, it seemed as though he had made a mistake in his innocent rambling about hydroponics to Aslisk. His regent immediately seemed to sour just at the mere mention of humans, and the harbinger tried not to frown, feeling a light sense of disappointment. It was a bit easier with the anger not specifically being directed towards him, but he still felt a little bad for interrupting the calm anyways. He decided to focus on her next comment, nodding his head before he spoke, "Hopefully not. I don't think anythin'll be ruined, though. These plants seem pretty hardy, what with the nutrients goin' straight into 'em and all. They should be fine." He hoped that they would be fine, at least. He didn't know the entirety of the science behind the lab and all of the plants it housed, and who knew which of the plants scattered around them could be vitally helpful, or provide them with food. It was because of this that the hybrid found himself tensing up considerably when Aslisk swung her tail behind her. The flames that licked lazily off her nearly reached one of the nearby plants, and the gat felt a harsh intake of breath hit him, rushing in through clenched teeth. Thankfully nothing happened, and Aslisk seemed to realize her mistake, pulling her tail back around before she spoke up again. Redvox nodded a little numbly, letting out a shaly breath to match his former sharp inhale. He spoke in a soft chitter after that, glancing around, "Well... is there any particular color that y'had in mind for what y'might take with you? That could help me narrow it down to somethin' you'll like."
