Those are contained in the secure greeneries.”<br /><br />Beryl’s eyes widened. “You’re growing attack petunias somewhere?”<br /><br />“I don’t understand.”<br /><br />“Never mind.” She knelt and put her hands on Snaps’s face, so the fur-person had to look at her. “Don’t eat anything in here. You understand? It might make you sick.”<br /><br />“Eat nothing. Smell everything. I got it!” Snaps said. “Can I dig?”<br /><br />“It’s probably fine. Just don’t hurt the plants.” She pulled the cord off him, setting him free to explore, while Zylar tried to understand why Snaps wanted to dig.<br /><br />“I have nothing to bury,” Snaps said sadly, then he bounded off.
