It's a shame that stupid Will and his pet store policy has made Artie so meek. He naturally has a big, friendly personality and I honestly expected him to relax more with Kurt but I guess he's still too overwhelmed. Plus the fact that Gabriel and Adam were both sitting right there essentially monitoring every word and interaction they shared probably put both hybrids in instinctive "best behavior" mode. Hopefully they'll both grow more comfortable once Artie is really settled in and at ease with his new owner.

I do hope Kurt gets to build that cart. He's finished with Lily's project and will probably be craving another soon. Kurt seems to be at his best when doing special things for people he cares about.

That's just it, these aren't exactly the characters we know from Glee, because they had much more restrictive backgrounds. Some people are a bit more like their character on the show, but I think that disabled hybrids are treated even worse than people with disabilities, or hybrids in general. So that's going to subdue him. I do think he'll loosen up, though, once he realizes Gabriel wants him to be himself, rather than to mold himself into whoever Gabriel thinks he should be.

We'll see. Kurt's going to have a lot on his plate pretty soon!

It was sad to see Artie so subdued and tentative, but that reinforced for me how much more self-confident Kurt has become since Adam adopted him.

I was surprised to hear Gabriel talking about having given Artie permission to address and answer Adam and Kurt directly rather than through him; he certainly knows that neither Adam nor Kurt would want indirect communication, and I thought he himself would be a bit more 'liberal' than that.

Sounds like Gabriel has a specific agenda in mind for the next Gardening meeting; can't wait to find out what it is.

Kurt has made a lot of positive changes. Artie's only been adopted a few days, so it will probably take a little while for him to become more outgoing.

Even though Adam and Kurt wouldn't say anything to anyone, it's probably smarter for Gabriel to get used to following all the rules and regulations, so he doesn't forget them when he and Artie are around others who will expect that.

I'm already working on the chapter with the gardening club meeting. I think it will be rather different from the last one!
