[Action; at the greenhouse]

Get--out!

[Is throwing garden shears at a villain too violent, when Rosalia just wants him out of the greenhouse until somebody who's supposed to deal with this stuff gets here? One of the drawbacks of being confined at home from age eight is that the third-grade lessons on stranger danger tend to fade away even without the amnesia. Never mind, Rosalia's got a hose and she's not afraid to use it. The villain in question is dressed like a starfish and why on earth any starfish villain wants to break into a greenhouse is beyond her, but he should be able to take it.]

Just stop it already and go away! You're not even scary.

[And okay that's a lie, she is scared, but she's also angry.]

The ocean is that way. Okay?

[Text; a while later]

Hey Palom, can I ask you something?

And to everyone else, if you know how to fight or do anything else like that - why did you learn? It's something I've been thinking about for a little while now.

[The villain's managed to grab hold of the hose in a moment of swiftness, so now he and Rosalia are fighting for grip (and control) of the hose.]

Hey, let go!

No, you let go! Just run along now, I promise I won't do anything too bad to this place.

*Timing is everything in a situation like this.

And Tsuruya waits, until just the right moment, where she can see the assailant moving in the right direction -- and hurtles the flower pot with ridiculous precision at the back of his head.*

[~~Boom, headshot.~~ The villain goes down in one shot, leaving Rosalia to fall back, stare for a second, and look around in a moment of panicking before spying the culprit.]

Tsuruya! When did you get there?

Hiyas, Rozy! Sorry I didn't say anything sooner! You looked likes you were busy, so...

I'll paly for the flower pot by the way! Sorrys about that!

Oh, no! No.

[Rosalia shakes her head quickly before looking down at the villain and nudging his shoulder with a foot. He doesn't move.]

You just saved me! I should be the one paying you. Or doing you some kind of favor, anyway. Believe me, a flower pot is the least of the trouble that could have happened. I'm not sure what I would have done without you.

Aw, think nothing of it! That's what megas good friends are for, right? I bet you'd have done the same fer me in a pinch!

*She smacks a fist into a palm.*

Ohhhh! That's right! I learned something megas awesomes today from Maro-chi!

[That sounds good, and it's enough to break through Rosalia's fretting so that she gives Tsuruya a small smile.]

Yeah? What is it?

It turns out if you focus real hard on getting a flower to fight for you, you can tap into some really nifty powers! I bet you could do it real easy with how good you are with them! Then you could totally kick bad guys in the butt!

[That is...not what she was expecting.]

Really? How do you do something like that?

I dunno exactly! But I totally did it so I bets you could do it too! Wouldn't that be megas great?

Yeah, it would be. If I'd been able to do that just now, stopping that guy would have been a lot easier.
