You decide that DIGESTING hurts like holy hell.

...Well, and also dying in a pit of ACID within a the ROOT SYSTEM of a grotesque plant monster.
You give in to the darkness, ignoring the pain as the ACID eats away your flesh.

The GREEN-EYED MONSTER is no more. All that remains is a SAVAGE SAPLING.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a PERFECTLY NORMAL TREE.

You successfully make a XENOBOTANY skill check and realize that the SAPLING has grown a GREEN EYE.

It appears that your CUDDLING has caused the creature to grow a suspicous-looking FRIENDSHIP BLOSSOM.

The SAVAGES scamper off toward the distant PRIMITIVE VILLAGE.

You can't make heads or tails of this suspicious BLOSSOM. It seems to share traits from both the Rosoideae and Droseraceae families, but that's speaking in terms of plain old boring botany, not XENOBOTANY. You suspect that your XENOBOTANY skill is too low at this point, which sort of makes sense, seeing as your entire knowledge of the field comes from your firsthand experience of being ingested by deadly SAVAGE FOLIAGE.
