Mm. It is. I mean. I have my slingshot. But I know I'm still just a kid.
[He is aware that he probably does need that support. In terms of teaching him, learning so much as he grows up, that assistance in defending himself if necessary. Gus's ears twitch as the other offers him a flower. He gently takes it in one hand, noting the colours, and the scent of it.]
It's nice. Different to the ones back home. I mean, the ones people associate with the Sick.
[Still, he is still learning to defend himself. He's mostly been taught to run, to hide. And he has his slingshot but really, that won't do much, if anything, more than annoy someone, most likely. If he tried to use that.]
There are these purple flowers back home that show up where someone is sick, I think. Or, that's what I heard. Or it causes the sick. I'm not sure.
You would? Ah, thank you. I mean. Hopefully, you won't need to. But. We can stick together. And at least, there might be books. About which plants or flowers might not be safe. I know some can make people sick or are poisonous. There might be some here that I might not have seen back home.
[Some native to this place. Since Gus is only familiar with the plants around Yellowstone. He's not necessarily traveled otherwise to really be familiar with plants in other parts of the world or the like. Let alone here. Wherever this is. Yet.]
Yeah. You can count on me! If we're both really here for the long haul, I'd like to at least be able to learn how to use magic to protect my friends.
( Basil crosses his legs then, wanting to relax further now. Now that Gus seems a little less prone to attack, he has a feeling that relaxing a bit would be alright. )
I can teach you about a little... A-At least, what flowers to really look out for.

( Basil doesn't approve of any sort of fighting, but he knows that sometimes, something like that is necessary. He just wishes that it wasn't.
Though, he tilts his head at what he says next. )
Do you mean that people where different flower crowns?

If anything happens... I can't fight, but I promise that I'll try to find a way to protect you, too.
( He's so young... It's hard to believe that someone his age has something like that to fear. )
Ah, well... There are always going to be dangerous flowers no matter where you go, I think... But, it's good that you know exactly what kind to avoid.
