when you’ve got endurance

Following after Noah on light footsteps, Amhran places himself at the end of the table where the Sentinel will be doing his planting, having to keep his hands in his pockets to stop himself trying to help. This is Noah's project after all, bestowed upon him by Safrin, and he needs to do everything unassisted. (Everything practical, anyway). "That looks good," he offers as the pot begins to fill with soil. "Keep it quite loose - star magnolia's prefer it that way, rather than packed down." Once the seeds are planted, Amhran nods encouragingly. "Now cover them with a little more soil. Before we water them, though, these also need a layer of mulch on top. That will keep the moisture in so it doesn't get too dry." Pointing towards a few shelves, Noah will be able to find a parcel of suitable mulch that he can spread over the top of his star magnolia seeds. And with that done, he'll be free to give them their first official drink. amhran amhran
