The specimens are well cared for, but it could be better too.
Yet all too soon, Donnie finds himself amongst alien ferns, some of which remind him of those he stole from Kopaya'. Yet his seeds are mere seeds, not half-grown plants that, to his eye, are struggling.
And then he spies it - a Void Palm, or close enough. He has a seedling, yes, but it's nowhere near as advanced as this one is. Yet, the poor thing is sickly but it has the start of a Void Fruit. His new magic sings; have one of them, and with enough experimenting, he could make interesting tech with it.
Illex, by now, has settled. The promise of (all you can eat) space fries has mollified the baby. Realistically, the mimic has instinctively sensed an adult of its species around and has defaulted to instinct: hide, hide, hide until the threat passes. Alas, it's too young to think to warn Donnie of The Adult.
Pity, but this will be a lesson Illex takes to heart.
