[Neville is... well. It looks like he's wrestling a giant bush. And that's probably what's he's actually doing, but in his mind this is most definitely gardening. He's heard that muggles like to grow hedges and trim them into interesting shapes, and that's what he's trying to do

[ Luna comes rolling up with a thoughtful expression ]

What a unique demonstration of the food chain, Neville!

Re: A

[truebravery]

[;A; LUNA YOU CAN HELP HIM.]

It- it's not exactly... [He shoves against the struggling bush.] I think I overdid it with the plant food.

Re: A

[off_beet]

Oh. So it's not intentional then.

[ a dazed tilt of the head ]

Have you tried singing?

Re: A

[truebravery]

Uh. Not y-yet.

[The lion!bush gives a shove and Neville trips backwards over the cowering bunny!bush. He sits for a moment, blinking and making sure he's still in one piece. Why is it always him who ends up with agressive plants?]

I don't think muggle plants have ears, Luna.

[Out for a walk, Maya can't help taking notice of the boy covered in cuts and other injuries that look particularly sting-y as she passes. Far from shy and in possession of an extreme need to mother anyone and everyone, she makes her way up the walk and cocks her head as she appraises him, hands on her hips.]

Hey, you okay, there? [He doesn't look terribly distressed, but those bandages are kind of lacking.]

Re: B

[truebravery]

Sorry? [Looking up, it takes him a moment to realise she's talking about all the cuts and scrapes] Oh! All this- Uh. I'm alright. I just got a little carried away while gardening.

Re: B

[itswhoopasstime]

[Maya raises an eyebrow, though remains smiling. Really? Gardening?]

All that from working in the garden? Must be some dangerous plants back there. Do you need some help getting patched up? Looks like a few of them are a little hard to reach.

Re: B

[truebravery]

Well- [He's wary about people he doesn't know, but... she doesn't look like a Death Eater.]

I think I could use a little help with these bandages, thank you.

[muskatli]

What is that noise! Prussia, I swear if you're still messing around with that ta--

[muskatli]

Neville.

What are you doing, dear?

[truebravery]

[Oh, hi not!mom~ Give Neville a moment while he untangles himself from the bush.]

Gardening.

[muskatli]

Is that hedge moving?!

[truebravery]

[Tom doesn't appear to be doing anything menacing just now, so Neville will give him the benefit of the doubt.]

A little, yeah.

[truebravery]

[awkward smile in retuurn]

These? No- I didn't get them from the Postman, if that's what you mean. I got a trimming from the hedge in the park. They're non-magical. [The lion!bush shakes violently.] Well. They weren't.

[Entertainment in this town is always just an idle stroll away, isn't it? It certainly seems that way to Caesar. He has stopped to watch the epic struggle between man and plant-beast-things.

It won't be for another minute or so that he actually speaks up, but he does eventually.]

Fire might be a bit more threatening to that than your arms are.

[truebravery]

[D8 Neville is giving you the most horrified look in the world.]

I c-can't burn it!

[commentboxtroll]

Why? Is it fireproof?

[Because surely no one would want to keep something like that.]

[truebravery]

No- but... [He's cut off as he struggles with the aggressive plant. Eventually he extricates himself from it.]

It'll calm down eventually! Probably.
