cassowarhea: how would your dragons react to the plants in their evironment suddenly screaming
Rosetta ruffled through the leaves of a Broadleaf Plantain, looking for dead parts to prune or insect damage to treat. She smiled softly to herself, this specimen looked to be the picture of health. Nothing less was ever known to come from from plants under the care of the Nature Imperial. She gave a final genial pat to the bush and went to move to the next.
Then the screaming began.
All at once, every plant in the expansive garden seemed to issue a bloodcurdling caterwaul. Rosetta froze, mid-step and eyes blown wide, as the cacophony began echoing off the walls of the mesa. In the moments it took for the dragoness to get her heart back back in her chest, her bewildered Clanmates began to pour out of the Lair.
“What happened?” Eulalia shouted over the din.
“I haven’t the foggiest idea,” Rosetta yelped back. “It’s like the poor things all started up at once!”
The Imperial dashed between the rows of the garden, stroking lilies and cooing to ivy. The rest of the Clan stood where they were, trying their best to cover their ears and having no clue as for what to do (And wondering how plants were able to scream). But everyone’s efforts seemed fruitless. The plants continued to howl.
Rosetta dropped to the ground, head clutched in their claws. “I-- I don’t know what to do,” she cried, completely at a loss. Tears welled in her eyes and rolled down her snout, sinking onto the sandy earth.
It went silent.
