Mmhm! They're actually a carnivorous plant...they can catch bugs, since they have a reflex that causes them to close their leaves around anything that touches them. That's why they're called fly traps.
[A little morbid, perhaps, but fascinating to Basil, who loves plants so much...just as fascinating as what he sees next, because holy shit? The fact that Pure Vanilla just...casually plucks a little guy from the soil is actually a little startling, but it's no weirder than some of the other stuff he's seen here. He watches as it's replanted, followed by a second one.]
I can study them as they grow...I'll let you know what I learn about them, if there's anything new. Hopefully they'll be mostly the same here! Right...right down to the screaming, I g-guess...if that's normal for them.
[Basil can't blame them though, his defense mechanism is to also scream and run.]
