You folded your arms over your chest and pointed back at the holes that Donny’s tree roots left in the tunnel walls.
<span class="mu-r">“Donny trusts him.”</span> you proclaimed.
Callisto gave you an incredibly flat look.
<span class="mu-g">“Donny.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Yes.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Donny the fucking living tree. The same Donny that wore a flower pot for pants and almost got stuck in a drainpipe.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“That’s the one.”</span>
If Callisto had enough free hands to pinch the bridge of her nose, she absolutely would have.
<span class="mu-g">“Look, I know you all used to think he was cute, but I’m not sure if he’s the best judge of character. Or of…anything, really.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Listen, if you’re so worried about it, why don’t you bring him to Nature Girl and get an answer from her?”</span> you suggested. And even before the words left your mouth, you knew you had her.
Callisto looked like she’d rather do anything else in the world than ask Nature Girl for help. So, begrudgingly, she glanced down at the plant-thing, staring into its wide, unblinking face.
<span class="mu-r">“C’mon, look at those puppy dog eyes.”</span> you said, gesturing at the pair of twin, azure orbs.
<span class="mu-g">“I don’t think I’ve seen it blink a single time.”</span> Callisto muttered, sounding a bit concerned.
<span class="mu-r">“I’m actually not sure if it’s able to. It doesn’t seem to have eyelids.”</span> you observed.
The look on Callisto’s face was somewhere between pity and curiosity.
<span class="mu-g">“Hmm. How about…’Barkley’.”</span> she suggested.
<span class="mu-r">“What?”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“His name. It just sort of…popped into my head.”</span>
You blinked at her. The plant creature might’ve done so too if he was at all capable of such a thing.
<span class="mu-r">“You mean like ‘Charles Barkley’?”</span>
Callisto shrugged, looking a bit embarrassed.
<span class="mu-g">“Uh…yeah. Why?”</span>
What will you say?
>(Give her an encouraging pat on the shoulder.) "And people say you don't have a sense of humor.">"See? I knew he'd grow on you. Just be sure to prevent him from literally growing on you.">"No, nothing. I was just wondering if he was athletic at all. Maybe we can bring him with us to the tennis court next time.">"Now you're just being silly. I've got much better idea." (Write-in.)>Write-in.Pastebins:
