"partially, but can you hear it, can you hear it's language? get close and just listen intently, it's the language of all plants." he pulled Anthony closer and spoke to it again, saying he'd take care of the plant to keep it alive.
The plant moved again, saying how relieved it was.

Anthony shrugged and mumbled awkwardly, 'I don't know...' He just couldn't make himself believe something so.... surreal.

"what do you mean you don't know? how can you not hear it? have you humans gotten so far from nature you won't even let yourself acknowledge it anymore?"

Anthony felt, strangely enough, ashamed at Darden's question. 'No, I can, but it's hard to believe it means anything...I don't know, they put people in insane asylums for saying the kind of sh** you're saying! How can you expect me to shake all that off?'

"because it doesn't matter... I was told no one may believe anything I told them when I left my woods... but I came anyway... it doesn't matter what people think of me... I know the truth. This plant has a spirit, like us, and if we just listen, we can understand. but most people don't."

'But it makes me feel stupid!!! Sitting here trying to talk to a plant!' Anthony protested.

"so what? maybe if you recognized it as a being with a soul and language you wouldn't let your plants die."

Anthony scowled, 'It's not my fault it died! I can't help if I'm inept!' He sunk back in his chair and snorted, 'I can't believe I'm fighting with you about this anyway.'

"fine, let your plants die, but I'm taking this one atleast." he turned away from Anthony and picked up the plant, walking to a different spot with light and sitting down.

Anthony got up and left, unable to believe he was arguing with a complete stranger over dead plants. He didn't want to deal wtih anything else that day and hoped that darden would ether leave or not bother him.

Darden sat in that little spot of sun, curled around the plant.
He whispered little things to it, expressing his worry about what he should do, and such things like that.

Anthony collapsed on his bed with a tired sigh. He closed his eyes and tried to sort out his tangled thoughts.

Darden sat there all alone with the plant, feeling rather dejected and alone.
Lost and alone in a strange new place and the only person to talk to him was already angry at him...

Before long Anthony was asleep. He couldn't help it- he was a college kid after all and his body was programmed to sleep whenever it got the chance.

Darden sighed before giving the plant some more water and then putting it back by the window before sitting down in the chair he was in earlier and just curling up.
