Who knew plants were so interesting? Certainly not Lucas, who was rapt on Speedy as she explained how plants died and came back to life in the warm weather. What makes them die for good? he wondered. He had some guesses, but being a young and optimistic fool with no exposure to death, he was pretty off base. How was he to know there weren't predator plants that ate the prey plants?

How do you recognize it in the spring? he asked, forthcoming as ever with his multitude of questions. He would need to know these ever-so-important details if he ever went looking for it when it bloomed. He considered marking this spot so it'd be easy to find in the future, but for once thought something through and realized that no matter how much he peed, it wouldn't last long enough. Besides, he was loathe to defile flowers in such a crude fashion.

To Speedy's information about the needles, Lucas nodded gratefully. It was astounding to him how many uses plants had, and even more astounding that he had never known it before now.
