Been working on art of demon garden plants recently - keep meaning to do botanical studies so I can make an actual field guide ha ha

The Bewitching Gardens feature demon plants hybridized with magical elven plants (and the shrine Braelin added!)

An illustration showing a plant made up of many tendrils holding up a sign that reads "Emotional Support", with the word "Animal" covered by meaningless streaks of red. In another tendril, the plant holds a paintbrush with red paint on it. 

Text at bottom reads: Petal can support your emotions, not your spelling.

Demon King's Gardener features an emotional support plant named Petal.

Petal doesn't know how to spell, because it's a plant.

Text image titled "Demon King's Gardener". Text body reads: 

“I was a gardener before, so I recognized the plants here weren’t human ones,” the man went on, “As I was starving, I saw one bush bearing fruit, and so I approached it and asked for one.”

“You asked a bush for fruit,” Jurao interrupted. 

The human nodded, “I always heard demon plants were sentient, so I thought it was only polite to ask.”

“Even though you were starving,” Jurao said. 

The human frowned, “It was hardly the plant’s fault I was starving.”

“You have to come in,” Jurao said gently. 

Braelin grimaced, “I do?”

“You do,” Jurao confirmed. 

Braelin sighed, then peeled himself off the wall. 

Jurao stepped back, giving him room. 

Braelin poked his head into the room again, then bit his lip and looked at the floor.

“Would you all look away,” Jurao said, waving a hand at them all.

“He certainly is plain enough,” Feyl agreed, studying the now awake human. 

Braelin didn’t seem to take offense to this, staring back openly. 

“I heard you were shy,” the head valet laughed, “Am I just that beautiful?”

“You are pretty,” Braelin replied, looking away absently, “But it only bothers me when a lot of people are looking at me, not one or two.”

Feyl didn’t seem to know how to reply to that statement.

They cleared their throat, cheeks darkening again as they asked, “Have you really been hiding in the gardens for ten years…?”

“I have, probably,” Braelin replied. 

“Then… you’ve… seen me here before…?” they asked, voice kicking up an octave as they asked. 

The human nodded, “Your voices have gotten a lot better.”

Gaele looked like they wanted to hide behind the gazebo railing again.
