[Rory’s sure that sooner or later someone would realise he wasn’t meant to be on board the ship. There would be some bit of fairly standard information that he’d have no clue about, or maybe the lack of uniform would tip them off. For now, he’d continue pretending to know exactly what everyone was talking about. Right. The Talosian Singing Plant. Exactly.]
[But he was definitely more than a little impressed by the plant, which showed clearly in his expression.]
“It’s impressive, isn’t it? My favorite part about the plant is how is seizes up and stops singing once it’s touched as a defensive mechanism.”
[ To illustrate the point, he gently taps one of the blue hue soaked leaves causing the plant to silence itself the moment he made contact. His hand curls back to his side as the smile never seemed to fade from Hikaru’s features. ]
"..I’m sorry. That was probably a little bit more than you’d care to know about the plant.“
