"An important lesson," Amhran agrees with a light chuckle as he continues to add fresh potting soil to the transplanted lilies. "Especially in a place like Halo." The snow and ice are gorgeous, particularly on sunny Longheat days (much like this one), but the cold is forever deceiving; it has bitten the Raeling a few times in his naivete, but he's proud to say he's learned better since then. The last lily reaches its new home and, almost subconsciously, Amhran straightens beside Noah, a quietly satisfied smile on his face. "These are looking good," he determines, departing for a brief, few steps to grab a nearby watering can. "I'll give them a drink, and then I think they are ready for wherever they're needed next." So saying, he reaches over the pots with the can and lets a steady sprinkle of water soak into the fresh soil, which drinks it up greedily. "Thanks for your help with all of this." amhran amhran
