Sure, Noe had been unhappy with Sohalia, but that didn't mean that her ire extended to the council or even the direction of Stormbreak at large. Indeed, her issues with Stormbreak's so-called Heart were personal rather than professional. Nobody hurt Noe's big brother and got away with it, and Noe would definitely be giving the Luminary a piece of her mind if she ever had the privilege of an audience with the leader. But for now, she was content to do what was needed to help her region, compartmentalizing her anger and placing it aside for now.
"Mateo!" she trilled, wiggling her fingers in a little wave as the botanist appeared. Mateo and Koa were friends, which, naturally, meant that Noe knew him well by association. It was just as she opened her mouth to say something else that Mittens chose to screech, startling the girl enough that she nearly dropped her basket. "Well, then," she said, both affronted and amused by the snowball's greeting (?).
In any case, they were moving on to planting, and Noe was more than happy to oblige. She wasn't really the type to have a particularly green thumb, but the flowers she had selected were known for being hardy. Perhaps she wouldn't cause too much damage as she planted them. Finding a few holes of her own to focus on, Noe began to settle bunches of flowers and cover their roots with dirt.
