went up the water spout

last post :)

It did not occur to him that what he expected of his sister was no where near reasonable, just like it did not occur to him that his affinity for plants and his knowledge was extremely perplexing to those around him. When he gestured to the plant and cobweb, he believed it obvious that he wanted it collected, but his sister did not do so. She did, however, take to gathering moss like he had, and when he looked and saw her mouth full of the stuff, he smiled broadly. None of his other siblings had ever taken the time to help him, and he was so pleased at this he did not even take note of the plant and cobweb she had missed. He gestured with his head for her to follow him, where he would take his gathered moss and lay it in a small hole he had dug that housed a variety of sun-dried foliage, before he settled down to doze.
