[ Clark appears on screen wearing a recently acquired pair of glasses from the marketplace. He looks like a buff nerd irritated and uncertain. ]

I think something was delivered to me by mistake. [ He angles the camera so the fuzzy little bonsai tree in front of him is clearly visible. The leaves are covered in fur, it's actually sort of cute but... That tiny meowing sound? That's coming from the tree.

More specifically, from the little seed pods that contain live kittens. ]

If it belongs to anyone, I'll be happy to return it. [ Said mildly. He doesn't know yet if this is an alien species or something more deliberate, but he's trying very hard to give it the benefit of a doubt here. ]

In the meantime... Does anyone know what this is, exactly? Or how to take care of it?

hey is steve wearing his stars and spangles right now

I've found someone who knows what it is, but it doesn't belong to him exactly. It looks like it might just be a random cast off. I suppose if you know anyone who's looking for a pet...

Not if it means he needs to adopt a kitten tree. Even Captain America has his limits

[captain_america]

Not sure I do. Or at least not someone who could take care of that. There's a garden here, it's two floors pretty big, kinda sparse right now. Do you think it would do well there? Since it is a tree?

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW SO HE COULD COMMENT JEEZ i guess we know which american hero is better now

[heliakal]

It's fairly delicate, I'd rather someone keep an eye on it... But that's not a bad option if I can't find a home for it.

Pffft. Clearly the hero with AMERICA in their name is superior.

[captain_america]

If you need any help with finding it a home...[He couldn't offer to take it, he didn't want to think about that Tony would do if he brought a kitten tree into their room. ]

I can probably help assist you.

yeah he thinks so but we all know who would top between these two (spoilers: it's clark)

[heliakal]

If you're not busy, I would appreciate that.

I was going to talk to some of the merchants planetside in the morning... We might have more luck if we work together.

[ Little does he know, the merchants are going to be less than co-operative by then. ]

Steve objects (even if that's probably right)

[captain_america]

Not a problem, happy to help. [And he is. Such a Boy Scout.]

Good plan. I'll meet you at the transporters then? After breakfast say 0900?

he wasn't objecting last night

[heliakal]

Sure thing, I'll see you then.
