It wasn't long before the scent of two others mingled with the strong scent of the budding herb garden, causing Michael to lift his head again. Hollow was the next to arrive, and the bobcat couldn't help but notice just how gingerly that he stepped around the plants, clearly terrified of trampling them. The thief vaguely wondered if the sabertooth had experience with stepping on gardens, a little snort leaving him. When the other male offered to put up some kind of barrier, Michael smiled, mumbling, "A barrier, huh? I supposed that'd be nice of you. I'm just doing this for Roan while he's busy, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind a bit of extra protection, especially considering how important these plants are." Although alternatives could often be found for the purposes of most herbs, Michael had been told that Roan was losing more and more of his stock by the day as more injured by the meteor and the aftermath showed up. Running out of everything would be problematic, to say the least of it.
When Roxie arrived, Michael found the usual smile coming to his face, immediately put at ease by her presence. He hadn't been particularly tense before, but the presence of both her and Maggie as his family always put him in a better mood. Waving a paw to her, he muttered softly, "Hey Rox. Your kid's got me doing hard labor for him now." He was joking, of course, considering the crooked smirk on his face and the mirth in his mismatched blue eyes. After this, he turned his attention back to Maggie, his smirk softening to a genuine smile as he heard her, "I'll be sure to keep him in mind. Although I think Roan's got his paws full for a little bit." He watched as Maggie buried the plant as she had been instructed, nodding his head firmly once she was done, "Yeah, that was perfect! Although... you should probably make sure to wash your paws after this. The dirt has a tendency to stain." It wasn't as big of a deal on dark fur like his own, but he didn't want her light and colorful pelt getting stained a dirty brown.
