Ike and Tori head out to the truck and begin to bring in the few plants that were brought back from the nursery. It is quick work and Tori returns inside as Ike beckons to Monty. She waits as he sneaks outside and presses against him, rubbing along his body. her arms snake up and draw his head down for a kiss. Engrossed in each other, they are oblivious to the twitter in the porch eaves.
Tori opens the back door and ducks as a flurry of wings dives at her head. She dodges back into the main room as a small squadron of winged beings head for the plants. One winged man perches on a chair by her head, changing to a foot tall in an instant. His hands fist on his hips and he glares at her.
"Ain't enough plants."
When she only stares at him, he blinks at her and yells louder. "Yo! Gargoyle! Dere ain't enough plants!"
Tori interrupts Ob's telling of the visit to the greenhouses and the altercation in the backlot. Bro, we got a very angry little man here... he says there aren't enough plants.
"Yo Fire Top! Whoda we talk to about da plants?"
She points at Ob's table. The little man speeds off, landing in front of Keon.
"Dark Lord, ya promised lotsa plants, an' I ain't seein dat." His foot taps the table and Keon assures him they will be there on the morrow. "An' what's my troop ta do in da meantime?"
Keon looks at Pandora and Ob.
"Any suggestions where they can rest?"
