" It is just dying, Sunshine. " Melody said gently and tactfully. " You are special, so you can do more than others can to ease it, if you put your heart to it. But would you call people evil, if they just eat nourishment they need? Balanced diet it needed. Plants are as important as meat in it. If they waited for soul to leave, the plants would dry out, or start rotting. Eating rotten plants would certainly make you ill - no human is evil for wanting fresh food. Sometimes, you just need to forgive ones that bite into you from need. After all, if you are but a simple apple, you have had a good life as a plant, and you have been happy, and if not your fruit, your tree still remains, taken care of by generous human who consumes you - there is circle of care. An apple is eaten, but tree remains, and is watered by humans, and looked after from hurts or pests. Trees that are well tended are happy to give their fruit as exchange for their care. When I would used to tell you there was an apple or pear that would love to be eaten by you, I never lied, my dearest. Plants, like humans, are capable of friendships and love. They will strive to give unto you you if you give upon them. "

"I do not judge," Svarik said gently. "I just wondered if others could learn it as well. If they can't, then it is how it is..."

Xia waited till Tide translated it all, talking with him, asking him questions about what Melody said.
Then, she stood up, and waddled to the table. She picked up her apple, carefully and seriously, to not prick it with her craws. She slowly sat down and was staring at it for a moment longer, before she started to focus on it.
Tide and Melody both let her try at her own pace, only tying in with their advises, seeing she is in serious contemplation, and not wanting to interrupt her trait of thoughts.

Svarik did not try himself yet, giving Xia space and support.

Xia needed more time than Melody, and lot of advises, but when she felt she succeeded, and blew away the little trembling soul, she was thoughtful, but content.
Then Melody proceeded to explain her how she can eat an apple, and about what seeds are, and how she can plant the seeds with proper care so trees can grow.... And that seemed like just right topic, to stun Xia out of dark contemplation. She was stunned to learn that from the little seed, a tree, like one outside, can grow. That surprise and curiosity distracted her for that one moment from the pain and weight of what she had just learned, and she listened intently, demanding to know all about this *seed* thing, often asking more questions, it all being new to her, as this whole just discovered process of growing out of little tiny thing something so big and grand in her eyes.

"Would you like to plant one seed here?" Svarik asked her, seeing how interested she is in the topic.

Xia looked at Svarik hopefully and vulnerably, and she nodded. Her hands were too shaky for her to sign properly, and she held the pear carefully in her hand, so she just nodded again, to make sure Svarik understood she wanted this.

"We need to plant it in a pot, because it's too cold outside," Svarik explained. "Could we have one?" he asked the Sage.

" I never did gardening myself, to admit, so I can not give you much advise, but if it's the pot you'll need, I shall give it to thee. " man replied gently and charmingly, and he went and made sure to bring both that and some fertile soil and fresh clean water, assuming it's needed as well.

Svarik thanked him and instructed Xia how to plant the seed and water it, assuring first that it's healthy so she wouldn't be disappointed.
