Zeydein had also come down to the dungeons with the new guards. Instead of paying any mind to Peregrine or any of the other more talkative prisoners, he opened the sliding door to Taisto's cell and began examining the tree, checking for any signs of ill health. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

The tree hadn't changed much. To the untrained eye, it seemed pretty much the same as when it had been placed into the cell. However, Zeydein would be able to tell it was suffering. It was very dry, and the tips of its needles had started turning rusty brown. A few had fallen to the ground already. He would have to be quick to save the poor thing. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Luckily, Zeydein had come prepared. He quickly began setting up a sun lamp in the room, and watered the tree. He healed it by pressing a hand to its trunk and using his powers to heal its suffering, all the while muttering curses about incompetent guards. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

The tree slowly regained its energy, and green returned to its needles. It didn't show its gratitude, but perhaps in the silence of its presence, Zeydein would be able to feel a sense of relief.

Zeydein marveled at his work with a sense of pride and relief. At least one of the prisoners knew how to keep quiet. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

Now able to properly breathe and transfer molecules, the tree started tying the energy from the lamp into neat packages of sugars, releasing oxygen into the air. It wouldn't be very noticeable yet, it had just started, after all, but perhaps the air underground would be a little fresher. There was still something the tree was lacking, if Zeydein was really tuned to the plant life's vibes, he would be able to tell there was an imbalance of something. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

(@innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄) would Zeydein like to roll to see if he can sense what Taisto boy is lacking?

"Hmmmm..." Zeydein hummed to himself, and kept his hand planted (haha) on the side of the tree's trunk. There was something wrong, definitely, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

The tree stood quiet. It was healthy now, apart from a few broken branches and roots that it could handle. Yet, there was a deep, hollow feeling buried under the surface level of vigor, like its health had been capped somehow, by something, but Zeydein couldn't just tell what it was. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Zeydein's brow furrowed. It was difficult to focus, with all the noise the prisoners were making, and the lack of information he was getting frustrated him. He pushed out more healing energy, hoping it would help the tree even a little. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

The wounds of the tree's branches and roots healed, but the odd feeling didn't go away. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Zeydein hummed in thought again. It seemed that no matter what he tried, he couldn't find out what was wrong with the tree. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

Tree not happy

That's as much as he could tell. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"I wish I knew what was wrong with you..." Zeydein sighed to the tree. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga

The tree cannot hear, nor understand him. It stands quietly, unaware of where it is, or why it is. At least it's alive, and hopefully will be for a while longer. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Zeydein sighed, and gave the tree one more check-over, for anything else he could see and fix. Once that was done, he gave the tree and final, solemn glance before leaving the cell. He'd done all he could, for now. @Twig | Taisto + Yuga
