A dry plant?

[That sounds like a contradiction, but there is life in the desert - Dimitri just can't imagine that such a thing would survive when removed from its natural habitat. Also, aren't cacti huge??

Maybe ideating on a plant to keep for himself was foolish. He'd surely kill anything thrust into his care.] Do you have a favorite of them?

[Despite his newly founded reluctance to adopt something of his own, Dimitri presses on. Intent on hearing more of Bernadetta's passion.]

[bravelyathome]

Of plants? Yes. But they aren't really desert plants. Unless you meant one of them?

[She hopes she didn't misunderstand.

Oh no. What if she did?

Don't mind her praying she hasn't messed up this whole interaction somehow.]

[boarddyd]

[Dimitri notices Bernadetta's enthusiasm stutter immediately. There's always something fervent in her manner of speaking - and now it's taken on its more familiar context. He stares, unsure of how to gently approach the situation only for a moment.

He keeps his smile, suddenly aware of it but willing that it retain its warmth.]

I should like to hear both. Your favorite desert plant, and those you care for the most.

We have time, don't we?

[bravelyathome]

[That really helps her settle again. She relaxes and smiles as she looks at the plants.]

I love pitcher plants the most. But I think that succulents are really pretty. They live by absorbing the water from the air around them. So you can just watch them live as they exist in the world.

[Dimitri tracks the way muscles tense and relax in others regularly - a habit suited for fighting as much as politics. He sees Bernadetta ease and is thankful he's managed to say the right thing.

To communicate how gentle he wants to be.]

Succulents absorb air, you say? So they don't require any watering?

Surely they need some tending... [There cannot exist out there a plant that Dimitri won't accidentally kill - he doesn't believe it.]

[bravelyathome]

I guess you can spray them with a little water. It shouldn't be hard to find a sort of mister. But you don't really need to tend to them. They just look pretty for you.

[Seriously, Dimitri. It's great.]

[boarddyd]

And they will grow?

[Ornamental these strange plants may be, he doesn't enjoy the idea of stunting something simply because it is convenient.

Though, interior decor in Faerghus is rather scant. He appreciates how a room looks with life scattered about only because of what Dedue has showed him, and how the man made his own spaces so welcoming.

Dimitri can't imagine his own accommodations being anything more than swords mounted on stone.]

[bravelyathome]

A little? Usually they reach a point where they stop growing. So you could always have fully mature ones. That way you can just spray some water on them and that's it.

[That seems a good solution to her! She's not sure what's so confusing about that really. Maybe she should just get him one so that way he can see?

Maybe that's the best idea.]
