The mammalian immediately regretted buying the adult drake. He was unbroken, and would last that way forever. This meant he was not friendly in any regards to her, and he had zero interest in being part of her life. This was not something that she enjoyed, and she secretly wished she could bring him back. The owner was somebody who took good care of the drake, but no longer could keep him. The owner had said nice things prior to her purchase, and now she realized that these things were not going to be beneficial for her. She couldn't even break him in this state, because technically she would just fall right through him. How she had brought him to the Herbarium was honestly a mystery to her, and she struggled with the drake as she moved into the area. The metal doors gave the familiar beep as the drake entered as well, so clearly he was sensed in some regard. He growled and thrashed about. She had things strapped to him to keep him from biting and thrashing too much, but even breaking gear wasn't going to help much in this situation. The corridor didn't have much to offer, and Amelia moved quickly as the drake followed after her. Perhaps he seen her as a potential meal just walking away. Entering into the Herbarium was quite nice, and the soft swish of the doors welcomed them into a warm, moist area. This felt like an area where plants could flourish, and she hadn't even seen much yet. She turned to the left into the sunlit room, her eyes focusing on many of the growing plants. She stood on the moss, feeling the soft indent further into the ground as she took each footstep. She was careful, afraid to somehow wreck things as she walked. Vudu was now interested in other things, and the drake wandered around, sniffing and looking at the plants. The drake growled angrily at the walking tree stump, and Amelia was shocked in herself to see such a creature. Was this what the drake would look like? It looked like a Thundergug, but so much different than the ones that she owned. The friendly botanist greeted her, and she was quick to take her seat. Vudu moved after her, still interested in things that weren't her. She smiled as the woman spoke, and finally it was time for her to explain her purpose. "I hear you can help me. See, I bought this drake. But he's Ethereal, which basically means its impossible to touch him or do anything physical with him. But I understand this place can change him. He already has such earthy tones, I am sure adding a touch of plant life to him would make him even more incredible." He snapped at the botanist, before turning his attention to something else. "I apologize for his behaviour. He's an adult unbroken drake, and until I can break him he's going to be less than friendly." She smiled weakly. The mammalian knew that there would be more questions, and unfortunately she didn't even really understand how plantification worked. She understood he would have a physical body to him, and therefore he could be broken. She also understood there would be a lot more changes than just that.

The botanist could hear already that Willow had indeed found someone coming in, and she hurried into the room, raising a hand in greeting. She was pleasantly surprised to find not only an individual (customer most likely) but also a large sarane drake. He did not look particularly... Ah, broken. It wasn't long before she got her answer before asking for it from the individual. Immediately she pulls a pen out from one of her pockets, and begins writing on a perfect new sheet of paper. Notes, she took them each time, and was taking them now as she listened astutely. She nodded along as well, making sure to allow the customer to know she was listening, and her honey blonde hair bounced as she did so. "Ah, so an unbroken drake! He'll be a little difficult I am sure." She said, noting that down. "So you'd like a body for him? We'll certainly need to do that in order to plantify him, unless you want his ethereal form to stay, which would perhaps be difficult. Though I am sure you'd like to break him, right?" She wanted to make sure, however. She wasn't sure how he could have managed to become ethereal, such a thing was not common with sarane.
"Certainly, we can do that." She said, smiling. "The plantification process will definitely change some things about him, especially when we- ah, ensure that he has a body." She said, trying to choose her words to explain this to most individuals living at the labs. At this, she waved them towards a pair of seats, and sat down gently. She wasn't sure if the drake could hurt her now, but she was sure that Willow would try to keep that from happening if the need arose. "I'll need to know about his ah, constitution. What do you think of, when you look at him? Try to put it in garden terms, if you will." She says. "We cannot promise that he will have any specific plant features, but it will help in the process if we have a general idea of your desires for him." At this, she suddenly remembered- "Ah, and do you happen to know a bit about him? I have heard unbroken drakes can be unkind..." She started off and trailed off, sure that the customer would explain a bit better.
Willow stands without thinking much about it between the botanist and the drake. It was normal for a thundergug to face danger with the facial-shield, so to speak, though it would seem that this particular thundergug was quite inquisitive and laid back compared to the typical thundergug behavior.

The mammalian listened as the woman spoke, and she tried her best to think of answers. "Well yes, I think having a physical body with him would be easier." The mammalian thought about about the last few days she had had the drake. It had been terrible trying to keep him in the kennel. Not having a physical form basically made it impossible for the mammalian to contain him. "It's difficult keeping him in one place right now, and I think a physical body would be much better." she grimaced to herself as she thought of how impossible it had been lately.
"Okay, I'll try my best to answer your questions. I'll be honest, I've just gotten him. Since I've gotten him its been a nightmare. He's unruly and it's impossible to contain him. I know he's just a typical teenage unbroken drake, but it's been difficult. I don't know much from before I got him. What I do think is really wonderful is his tail. The spade at the end, it's quite lovely and if we can keep something along the lines of that spade it would be nice. I mean, I think the poison goes with plants anyhow right?"
The mammalian looked at the drake, who was fascinated by something and mostly only a few seconds away from tearing something apart. "The spots of orange are also quite striking." She tried to look further into her drake. "If anything, I think I would like his body to be nice to touch, since now he has nothing to touch. I'm thinking mossy, but honestly of course, I don't know much about this." She paused and looked back to the botanist. "I don't know much about gardens and plants, I'm sorry. Maybe vines, this lovely lady is the only plantified creature I have seen. The bark is beautiful."
She turned to the drake again and back to the botanist. "His personality is that of a typical unbroken drake, I think once he's broken something different will come through. He's really curious, but maybe he's just always hungry." She scratched behind her ear, her thick white fur rustling under her claws.

The lady had several mannerisms about her, it would seem. When the botanist listened, she gently lifted her writing instrument a bit and tapped it. Not loud, of course, and not rapid-fire, but tapping all the same. She would nod her head at intervals that suggested she was listening well, and whenever she did a honey-gold forelock would dislodge from it's place behind her ear. Each time, she would gently swipe this forelock behind her ear again, but it always seemed about to dislodge again. She did these things with far more focus on the individual, and far less focus on the little mannerisms. One could not quite call it absent-minded, however, with how 'into' the conversation she was.
"I am sure!" She said, agreeably. She jotted quickly down that it would be fine to create a body for the creature. She was hoping so, it was much easier that way. "Oh, I see!" She said, and of course that information got written down too. Just received, poorly behaved, all of that. "He does have a lovely tail, doesn't he?" She mentioned, grinning across at the creature's spade. "We can certainly have that down, yes." So the spade was important, she wrote that down as well.
Oh, the spots of orange! Certainly the team could do something with that as well. She had a few passing ideas, already. "Oh, moss is a great addition to any creature, I'd say." She said. "No promises on the types of plants to be seen, but I will note that down!" She gently scrawled that as well- 'Request: Mossy'. "Moss generally has such a lovely green, and I am sure that it would fit with his coloration." She said, mostly to herself as she wrote down notes. She also quickly wrote down 'vines?' as well, and then a quick jotting down of 'bark?', but closer to the bottom. "Thank you! I am sure that Willow would approve." she said, watching as Willow stood, looking quite demure all things considered. Willow still kept her eyes on the drake though, as placid as any huge plant eater seeing a carnivore on the horizon.
She chuckled a small bit, good-naturedly. "I see! Well, we've almost got everything we need! Is there anything in particular that-" She remembered quite suddenly that the individual had stated that they didn't know much about plants. "You can think of about plants that you like? Perhaps an impression or something that you'd like to see conveyed in our plant choice?" It really helped out to get an idea as to what sort of... Well, season that was needed. Since plant creatures tended to have seasonal variation, they liked to be able to choose a feeling that evoked a season, even though plantified creatures Do Not change with the seasons. "Perhaps a seasonal choice?"
Then she added; "Oh, and is there anything you ah, wouldn't particularly like when it comes to his ability? There are a lot to plants, after all, and I am sure that we can improve him in at least a small way, when we create his body for him." She carefully puts that piece of hair back for probably the zillionth time (give or take a zillion).
