“Ok…” Ruk plonked herself down on the ground nearby. She somehow had a halved shell full of liquid and a cane straw sticking out in one hand.

“The aim of the game is to grow the biggest, most impressive plant. Extra points are given for our ‘form’ while doing it - basically how controlled, or not, we look. Finally, the longer the plant is judged to be able to survive on its own following the competition, the bigger our multiplier."

The Tekeri took a giant slurp from the shell.

“The catch is that you have to do it using a companion structure. Four complimentary plants that benefit each other when grown together in certain ways. And they’re asking for each of these four plants to be native to the different sentient species here in Setia…Sorry he missed you off.” She ended sheepishly, patting Senjen.

“I don’t know many Vosher plants that grow outside of water…” Light complained, staring around at the shrub canopy all around.

“Hence my special homebrew.” Ruk shook the bag of red soil. “It will hopefully help us make a small pool of water on our patch to grow some of your kelp.”

A small Tindrel was watching Ruknar curiously from a few paces away as she spoke.
