The Morning Grind (Team Ryuu)

"Funny," Yuki observed, "I was gonna ask if you could do that."

"What, the plants'll really tell you?" Jiro asked, scrubbing a hand through his hair and picking leaves out of it. "That's something all right..."

"Something like that." The Kyousei boy nodded, focusing his attention on the ground. A soft greenish aura suffused his hand, and the blades of grass between his fingers began to slowly grow taller merely by being in close vicinity to the Zyurinton energy.

"It's not so much actually talking to the plants as it is using their root systems to 'see' what's around them. Then I can do...this." Across the field, singular bright and colorful flowers sprang up out of the ground, dotting the grass here and there.

"Those are where pressure-sensitive plates most likely are. There's rounded obstructions in the root networks, and the soil is particularly rich in metal particulate in those spots. I can't do anything about tripwires or the like, but we've got those pegged, at least." Rising back up, he dusted his hand upon his side.

"So what's the plan, Yuki-san?"
