"I don't think I understand half the things Jason's told me." Theo scratches the back of his head, recalling how he has to stop and mentally translate every other text he's gotten from that kid.
Theo's comm is propped up on a stand on a nearby table, displaying diagrams from a library book. The pages show a plant that is similar, if not the same, to the one in the jar nearby. Theo only shrugs, though, shaking his head and grumbling.
"Mostly I haven't. Some I have. I told Lucifer I'm not a botanist." He flips through the pages of the book, not looking for anything in particular.
"I found books on Meodriotope plant life, so those I have mostly named. A lot of these other ones..." He pulls over another jar of one that's been really puzzling him, a strange, spikey green and yellow weed that resembles nothing he's ever seen before.
"They have some things in common no matter where they're from, right? Particular parts, characteristics, whatever it is. You can cross reference it then just keep looking until you get close, anyway." He frowns at the strange alien plant, tossing his hands up briefly in frustration. "Then there's shit like this. I haven't a fucking clue."
He finally turns to Alice, looking her over for a moment. Well, at least he was out from under Lucifer's thumb for awhile. It couldn't get worse than that.
"So there you go. That's what I sit and do here all day for the most part. Sometimes I prune something or repot something." He shrugs again. It was better than mopping the floors, anyway.

She bends down to squint at the title. Doesn't recognize the script (that's alien plants for you).
