The garden itself - composed of bioluminescent Umbaran plants and imported flora alike - had a vibrant glow to it. The flowers smelled incredible, and he was in the process of walking through the area and picking off any he needed for his potions. Every plant here had a purpose, and mixed together in the perfect combination they could prove deadly.
Azar always had a healthy supply of acolytes to test his potions if they misbehaved. Though he thoroughly enjoyed the illusion of giving them deadly potions to fan their anxieties, in truth the worst the students faced was socially embarrassing scenarios. One of the concoctions caused a student to run around the entire academy leaving behind a trail of diarrhea. Naturally, that student was also responsible for cleaning it all up.
“You are not exactly inconspicuous, Acolyte Dalon,” Azar said calmly as he stared at the horns poking out from behind a nearby bush from a man posing as a very unconvincing potted plant. Azar snipped a few more stems, collecting what he needed in a vial.
“Oh..” The oversized Zabrak said as he stepped out into the open, “My bad, teach,” He said with a grin with several teeth missing. Was that Karys’ handiwork? Azar rolled his eyes and returned to what he was doing.
“I brought you some flowers,” He said as he plodded over to hold them out. Azar quirked a brow, the flowers clearly from a different world. Was Dalon collecting ‘just because’ flowers for him from his missions? Azar sighed and turned to regard him.
“Acolyte,” He stated, “You must under-”
“I know I know! Just take them, okay, teach?” He blurted out, practically shoving the flowers into his hands. His face was turning beet red and he practically bolted away from the scene. He kept looking over his shoulder nervously as if someone was going to jump him any moment. Azar couldn't understand it - the Zabrak had a fierce reputation and was an all around bully and yet, without fail, he constantly brought the pureblood random gifts.
The pureblood was left puzzled, but he would keep the flowers. They looked edible.
