Vera had been moving so quietly, Alicia hadn't noticed her, so she got the fright of her life when the other girl spoke up. "Eek! Don't do that, you startled me!" She recovered enough to respond to Vera's questions about her powers.

"Yes, plants are my magical specialty, but what about yours? We don't get a chance to talk much, despite sharing a dorm." Alicia saw Vera looking over a patch of flowers with dismay, deeming them beyond salvation. Alicia reached her consciousness out into the flora in question, and found that the root system was still kicking, albeit barely. "No, they're still alive. Let me see what I can do. No promises, though."

Alicia put her hands on the flower's stem and concentrated, willing her magic into the plant. This was just like making a flower bloom, albeit much, much harder. The young witch started to shiver from the mental effort, and after twenty seconds, her willpower ran out. The flowers were looking... well, still not healthy, but there was a trace of green in the leaves, and the petals were showing a little bit of color.

"I did what I could, and I think they can still be saved. They'll need heavy doses of water and fertilizer, though. Get them back up to speed." Alicia weakly smiled at Vera. "And before you say anything, it was no problem. Much better test of my powers than working with healthy plants; that's pretty easy."
