Chapter Text
Location: GreenHouse
Backgroundmusic: Respite And Sunlight
Luca enters the greenhouse
Luca (takes multiple deep breaths):” Oooookayyyy ,(breathes) I can do this, I just need to remember not to look at her until the right moment (breathes out heavily).”
Background music stops
Luca :”
🎵Carry on my weyward son🎵
🎵There'll be peace when you are done🎵
🎵Lay your weary head to rest🎵
🎵 Don’t you cry no more🎵…
Luca sings the entirety of “Carry on my weyward son” by Kansas, a cappella at a slower pace than the original song, always looking in front of him, to avoid eye contact with Bernadetta and standing one meter to the left of her, who's taking care of the carnivorous plants.
Luca ends the song and the background music resumes.
Bernadetta (looks at him):”Wow what a nice song, you’re a good singer!”
Luca :” Thank you, you’re too kind (puts left hand behind his head), but I'm well aware that I'm not that good at singing (smiles), but again, thank you!
Bernadetta (worried):” E-e-ehm….. oh I get it! You wrote it yourself didn’t you?”
Luca :”Oh, I wish… actually I heard this song many times back in my home- Wait!”
Bernadetta :”EEK!”
Luca :”Is that a Venus Flytrap?”
Bernadetta :”Eh? Ehm… Y-yes… Mhh?…Do you like carnivorous plants?”
Luca :”Yeah, Aren't they fascinating? The fact they can move their leaves like a mouth is so incredible! You usually don’t expect a plant to move but these… A fly gets on their leaves and NHOM! The plant eats it in an instant!”
Bernadetta (Happily surprised):”They’re also very unique and very cute too! Oh and colorful! Sometimes I wish I was a carnivorous plant….”
Luca :” You what?...”
Bernadetta :” AAAHHHH PLEASE PRETEND YOU DIDN’T HEAR ANYTHING, AAAAHHH BERNIE NOW HE WILL HAT-“
Luca :”Did you know that Venus Flytraps produce a sweet substance on their leaves to bait flies to get in their (makes the quotes gesture with both hands) mouth? It’s like they’re fishing if you think about it (smiles)."
Bernadetta :”Mhh….? … Did you actually….? E-e-ehm (swallows, gets calm) You’re right! I actually never thought it like that! Hey! Have you ever seen this one?”
Bernadetta points at a Nepenthes ventricosa.
Luca :”This one is very unique too, it looks like a pencil case ahahah”
Bernadetta :”True! It would be a cute pencil case indeed!”
Luca :"Oh well, look at the time, I have to go, it's training time!"
Bernadetta :"W-w-wait! Ehm.... do you want to, um...maybe,uh...be friends or something?Maybe?"
Luca (Surprised, stays silent for two seconds) :"That would be wonderful!" (smiles)
"Oh, by the way my name's Luca if you didn't know already."
Bernadetta :"Well no, I'm always in my room so-, p-please d-don't get mad at m-"
Luca :" Naaaah (smiles) It's normal, millions of people in this continent don't even know that I exist, so, statistically speaking It's way easier to not-"
Bernadetta (Visibly Confused) :"..."
Luca :"Aaaaand I spoke too much "(laughs)" see you around Bernadetta!"
Luca leaves the greenhouse.
Bernadetta :"See ya ……. What a weird guy..." (smiles)
