"Don't be so shy, Garland," Gerro winked breezily. "Everyone loves you here. As for your tree..." he frowned thoughtfully, "that is going to be a little harder... We could move a tree from the Dark Forest into here. It would honestly be a lot happier, away from all those bark gnawing ogres and kids whacking at them for fighting practice..." he suggested. "And if you're going for more of a woodland instead of the beach, I can do that too." It was always nice to accommodate new students, and Gerro could bear the price for a bit of magic.

Rhea shot an encouraging smile at Garland as Gerro explained the horrors the Black Forest held for innocent trees. She hoped she could make Garland feel more at home in the future. Maybe they had some classes together. That would be fun…! Rhea already considered Garland to be one of her friends.
Rhea took the opportunity to look at her newly decorated half-a-room. She bent down, and scooped up a handful of the powdery snow that was now on her floor. It was wonderful to be able to finally touch snow again after being away from home for so long. With her hand still balled up tightly around the melting snowball, Rhea walked over to the pine tree; it smelled real, but for Garland’s sake, she didn’t investigate it. The comforter was a truly wonderful thing. It was soft to the touch, like running water, but at the same time, wholesome and warm. The fur added to the authenticity of the scene, but she was glad it wasn’t real. She had used real fur in the past, but only out of necessity, and not ever for decoration.
“Maybe it would be a good idea to rescue one of those poor trees,” she said, petting down her comforter and then sitting down on it. “The choice is yours of course Garland.” Rhea was distracted by the little shape of a bat flying though the window, just missing hitting Gerro. She caught Moth in her arms and held her close to warm her up; it was still chilly outside. “The hunt was good?” asked Rhea in an undertone. Moth looked back up at her and bowed her head. “It wasn’t? I’ll try to find you something. I guess there aren’t many fruit trees or insects around here…wait…Teacher Gerro might help with that.”

(I’m so sorry about it being this late. I left a message in the spam board explaining what I’ve been doing all this time. I’ll try not to ever have another relapse like this ^^)
“Well…If I must have a real tree…I mean, I would be glad to rescue one of the Dark Forest’s trees…”said Garland. She was getting better at this; being able to say more always meant she was warming up to someone. It was nice to know that she had encouragement as well. Gerro had said, ‘don’t be so shy…everyone loves you here’. Maybe it didn’t seem like much, but it really warmed Garland’s heart and made her feel more at home than any dorm decoration…She did want a tree though.

“Uhh…Gerro, sir? Would it be possible, when you’re done with Garland’s tree, to also make a small revision on my…side of the room (we’ll call it that). If it’s not too much trouble, could you possibly give one of the corners a moderate climate and a little roost; it’s for Moth,” said Rhea gesturing toward the little bat in her hand that had started shivering again from the Arctic chill. “She’s from South America…which is definitely not a cold, blizzard-filled place. (‘Congrats for pointing out the obvious’ thought Rhea)” Rhea stroked Moth’s head and shoulder’s trying to keep her muscles from stiffening up.

"As you wish, ladies," Gerro said with a florid bow. A tree did not so much grow but appear in Zithan's side, a maple with reddish leaves, a few of them with magical parasites. The tree itself was stunted, allowing it to fit quite easily in the room, and it had some nice forks between the trunk and branches, where a tiny bed was nestled(gerro's addition). "The tree might not be too healthy; you'll have to look after it," he advised. To Rhea's side, a small area of big leaves and a tiny tropical fruit tree grew, making this room without fail the oddest temperature zone in the world. Gerro was going to pay for this one the next full moon, oh yeah. "Anything else? If not, you two should head to classes. Period one is pretty much over, I think, but period two is bound to start. Keep an eye out."

“Thank you very much sir,” said Garland to Gerro as he prepared to head out. “I’ll make sure to look after the tree.” She said this more to herself than anyone else. Garland had already flown over to the sickly maple tree and was inspecting its leaves. Trees had to get nutrition too, or their leaves started to rot from the outside in; it wasn’t a very nice thing to have to go through. She would dedicate all the spare time she had between classes to nursing it back to health.
With all that said and done, Garland took a moment to survey the room; it seemed much homier now. Maybe it would be as scary here as she thought it would.
...Wait! They had missed first period!?
