Gardening Dilemma

A lot, apparently.

And one particular human had insisted on 'monitoring' him as the pet of some Duchy's Lord.

Hmph! What pet?! Thought the shrunken tortoise, who was now wrapped in a suspiciously comfortable silken scarf and hand-fed fruits before being gently rocked to sleep.

The volunteer was Butler Gary, who had just learned about their Young Lord's new pet.

And he came at the perfect time because, frankly, they weren't sure how they'd leave the tortoise in the space with only D-29 and Sid to monitor it.

Sure, the elders would be there, but what could they really do against a guardian beast who was now capable of escaping?

Surely, they didn't create a new monster by doing this, right?

Now, with Butler Gary, hopefully, they wouldn't have to find out!

But even when they do, would they have time for it?

Probably not, considering the laundry list brought by the people of the Duchy.
