Fangorn's vines are met with gently snapping teeth, Pipsqueak more than eager to abandon her stick in favor of the pumpkin. Still supine, she scrambles and kicks against the tendrils, trying to draw the gourd in closer. Koa's satisfied to leave her to it, trusting the older companion won't allow his dragon to get too violent. And this time, at least, she knows better than to try and bring fire in a plant play-fight.
The pun lands as well as he could hope, which is to say, not well. Yeah, he deserves the groan, but it does nothing to dim his self-satisfaction. If anything the boy's grin widens at the response as he straightens up, eager to see the promised repayment and demonstration of Melita's skills. A sudden burst of applause from around them has him starting in surprise, looking around to see its source- and, of course, finding none.
Bemused, he turns back to the Honeybee, eyebrows raised in puzzlement. "Was that... you?" He's a little underwhelmed, but he's not going to let her know. Pursing his lips speculatively, the Dragoon tilts his head. "That's a useful trick for the battlefield. Very distracting." Humor crinkles the corner of his eyes, betraying the serious facade that Koa's trying hard to maintain.
