You have this look on your face right now. [Unfortunate news, he knows you, Rue. He is your child.] You're absolutely going to meddle in some capacity because the drama is like intriguing you.
[He may ask for the garbage, but Rue is all too happy to share their very best blooms with Caduceus, to see the garden they grew so many months ago begin to spread out amongst the various gardens in Gram.
It warms their heart.
So Rue will just start doing some trimming to begin filling up that basket. (Do they need the shears? No, but this is infinitely more polite.)]
Mushrooms! Do you think you'll grow them in your garden here? For a fae, I've always had an awful time growing them myself.

[Hob has been informed that they might be Entertaining A Guest today. So he's been puttering around the cabin all morning, dusting and tidying after the holiday festivities—there are so many teens in and out of the house at all hours, and Hob sheds a lot—making sure everything is ready for the arrival of Rue's dear friend.
When Ted steps inside, it isn't Rue who greets him in the hallway, but a huge fuzzy bugbear who fills nearly the entire doorway. He might have appeared fearsome and intimidating, all seven feet and enormous protruding fangs and bulky, muscular build—if not for the frilly pink apron dusted with powdered sugar covering his form.
The smile helps too.] My most sincere apologies! Rue is momentarily inconvenienced, powdering their beak. They will be with you shortly. [A beat.] Ah. May I. Shall I. Hm. Your coat? [he extends a comically long arm to take Ted's coat. smooth, super chill, mega normal,]

[Ted –
– could not possibly look more delighted by this big – literally, holy moly – reveal.]
Whoa.
[Instead of a coat, Hob will find that he's given Ted's comparably tiny hand instead.]
Mr. Rue, it's a pleasure.

[They will just reach up to brush Casey's hair behind his ears, still giggling softly.]
Why not both! That sounds perfectly fine to me, as long as you are happy.

[He'll take it all, very gratefully, mentally taking note of how much he gets so he can deliver them something nice in return later. At their question though, he hums thoughtfully.]
I can usually get mushrooms to grow anywhere. Have you got a place you'd like them to be? Show me where, I'll have a look.

I'm very happy.
[He beams up at them from beneath their feathers. It's been kind of a whirlwind, wondering what this means, if it's safe (if it wasn't Rue's influence), if it's something he gets to keep. Now that any of his concerns have been alleviated, he's allowed to really enjoy it. And what a wonderful feeling it is.]
You never answered my question, though!

You truly wouldn't mind?
[There's just no saying no to Rue when they give him that big-eyed, radiant beam of a stare at that incredibly kind offer.]
I was thinking they'd look perfect by the tree out front, just a little cluster to complete the look of my yard.

[They do not text or call or anxiously show up to his apartment that night, even if the thought certainly occurs to them, but Rue will sit holding this letter of Casey's right against their heart for some time, lost in thought.
He'll be alright. Their boy is strong enough to withstand this. They just have to believe when he says he'll keep seeking them out, that he won't isolate himself and let the thoughts linger longer than they have to.]

It's no trouble at all. Point it out to me when we head back that way and I'll get things started, no problem.
[Hopefully they like RNG-based fungi because there's no knowing what'll grow.]
Least I can do for all of this.

[He practically BEAMS up at them, the red a perfect contrast of his green scales. He feels something warm and bright in his chest spreading to his arms and legs, like something about to burst free. Probably just feelings. Gross.]
Not unless you see anything else that needs to be done.

I will make sure the gift is suitable to match in return.
[There is no hesitation in his voice, no second guessing. He is going to return the gift regardless. He sets the basket on the counter and already picks out a piece of bread to start carefully breaking off tiny small pieces of to munch on.]
I am... still getting used to things. So thank you.

[Positively nasty.
Rue holds up a claw to motion for him to stand still while they give one final inspection of the suit. One quick lap around him and finally he'll get their nod of approval.]
Santa Leo, you look simply perfect. You have my stamp of approval.

Naturally. Like parent, like son.
[They deserve a little ego inflating, alright. Last month sucked.]

[they gasp. dramatically.]
Just because I am fae does not mean I live for the drama!

I was more thinking about the TV shows you watch, which are like... all drama based. [He's still give Rue a peck on the cheek. Assurance he's not being too harsh on them.]
It is hardly my fault the most interesting television is all reality dating based.
[but of course they preen beneath that kiss, softening with just a hint of amusement shining in those big eyes]
I will behave. More or less.

[It'll look more natural that way, it's fine.]
Is it that simple for you? How incredible! My green claw, as it was, has always been more towards floral, than fungi.

Well, I'm no druid, but I can speak a little to what lives and grows. I like growing flowers, too. Mushrooms I guess are just kind of my specialty.
[Something something decay, something something death cleric.]

[for a really long time, even starting back in Kirkwall.
a tremulous smile] We are. I'm so glad I took Fenris' advice.

I feel like you'd either love or hate survivor since its a competition show that's mostly interpersonal drama on an island. [Don't give them more things to watch, Peter.]
Right. That more or less is feels like the bigger sentiment, but, I'm not gonna tell you what to do, Rue.

Come now, isn't that my job now, as your parent.
[Teasing, as if they would ever. (They would.)]
Tell me more about this Survivor, perhaps if I can find it on the downloads Donnie's given me, you, Knickolas, and I could watch a few episodes together.

[Casey beams up at them, adorably peeking up from their feathers, and Rue can't help but match his shining expression.]
Well, I'm certain Leo would be able to give you much more thorough advice considering it is his speciality, but for my specific spell, I find the visualization is the key. When I was first learning it, even speaking the details of where I wanted to land beneath my breath helped to focus where I ended up.

Visualization... hmm...
[He thinks on that for a moment. His teleports thus far have been vision-based. He'd see something interesting in light and he'd suddenly find himself there. It makes sense that visualizing where he's headed would work.]
So far I've only been able to jump to places I can see. Does that help you go further? Like somewhere out of view?
