It stood stalk still as the girl spoke, but soon calmed down. It's leaves swayed softly, perhaps a sign of it relaxing as it began to drink the natural salt water. It drank slowly at first, watching the creature before it for sudden movements.
As time passed the palmie relaxed, nothing left of it's earlier stiffness.
It was as it would be when alone. It was not stiff and straight, more relaxed. There seemed to be some sort of trust formed between the palmie and the girl. Though it was weak, it was there. All they needed now was time to grow together as friends.
The palmie looked up from the bucket, which was now empty. It's eyes shined with a bright curiosity, leaves swaying happily. It seemed, now that a trust had been formed, the palmie's strange colours could be appreciated better...
(( Well done! It seems as if the palmie has returned your kindness with it's love and trust. You'll receive the Cherry Palmie's code in a PM soon. Congratulations! ^__^ ))
