Tal followed Deimos's gaze down to the box in his arms and his grip on the wood tightened (possibly why the cactus was in a box, and not simply postted). His grin faded and he squirmed uncomfortably. "Dunno," he admitted, voice falling to an uncomfortable mumble. "But I didn't want to just leave it there..." It was scrappy, dammit! And maybe he had a soft spot for scrappy, prickly things.

He knelt down carefully, setting his box aside with a pat for the wooden rim as he peered at the existing pepper bundle already planted, trying to identify them. "Same as these?"
