The spriggan looked down lackadaisically at the small tree nestled in the soup bowl, the roots staining the broth of the soup as if it were steeping tea. Leif leaned down towards the bowl and huffed out a small amount of glowing pollen. As soon as the pollen hit the bonsai, it grew a foot up and a foot out, breaking the bowl and immediately absorbing the soup into it's roots.
The tree spirit jumper back in surprise before scratching his neck sheepishly. "Goodness," he muttered bashfully. "That wasn't the intended result. Still, a success none the less. It can't be in your meal if you have no meal. I'll go bring you some potting soil and a container."

"Pardon me, but I don't exactly think this is up to code," the spriggan said pointedly. "I mean, there are beetles in my soup!" Leif dipped his spoon in the skittering bowl, intently watching the beetles climb up the utensil. "Goodness, I'm not even sure if there is soup in this at all."
