[Tamas laughs too, loving the sound of Tim so happy. He should be surprised his big brother has become so little but it's the Hub so why worry. He streams flowers up past Tim's hand, brushing the petals over Tim's fingertips.]
[The little vine boy bows deeper before standing up and becoming a great umbrella of flowers over Tim. The flowers attract butterflies and pretty soon the air is rich with fluttering wings.]
It's okay. It's alright to smile. [He grows some sun flowers and ripens them till the seeds fall, empting them into Tim's hand before whistling. A couple of little brightly coloured parrots answer the call, landing on Tamas' arm, hopping around and chirping curiously.] Hold the seeds out and they'll come to you. It's okay, they won't hurt you.
[He gives another careful, almost testing smile and holds out his hands, a mix of wonder and fear of the brightly coloured birds, though he tries not to let the fear show.] H-how... um. How did you get them to come?
[Tamas reaches out to support Tim's hand so the weight of the birds doesn't tired him too much.] One of friends has a gift for communicating with birds. He taught me how to call them. They carry messages for me when I need help or someone to talk to. And in exchange, I plant lots of things in my garden that they love to eat. Like the sunflowers. [The parrots shuffle to Tim's hand, happily pecking at the seeds and chirping.]
Ohh... [He gasps as the parrots shuffle onto his hand and laughs as he watches them, still shaking a bit with nerves, but it begins to wear off when he realises the birds aren't hurting him.] They're... pretty.
[Giggling and filling the air with flowers.]
