[Flowey fantasizes about all the ways he would murder this guy if he could get away with it. In the meantime, he hops around and gathers as many branches as he can using his vines. If Tenna were to start commentating his actions like it was a TV show, there's nothing he could do about it.

Soon, he's gathered up about half the amount of wood they need and he's half-conscious on the ground. A Sunkern was not made for this type of labor. Tenna wasn't entirely wrong. But damn if he didn't try.]

[Tenna does his own share of the work, watching Flowey try very, very hard. The poor thing clearly wasn't made for this kind of labor, but Tenna's impressed by his tenacity, and he can't help but comment on his every move, amazement in his voice! It's like watching a Physical Challenge! When they've both gathered a good amount of wood (and he's put some aside for his own use- his studio won't build itself without materials, after all!), he moves towards Flowey, excited.]

Wow! You sure showed me what a determined little thing you are! Color me impressed! [He bends down towards Flowey, his face falling a little with concern.] Hey- are you still with us? You don't look so good.

Just peachy! I can do more! I'm raring to go! [He makes no attempt to move. This has been a complete humiliation. Maybe he should just die here now.]

... look, sorry if I was trying to split the work up badly or whatever. I just wanted to see how good Ribombee's new star recruit is. And you did good! Great, even! [The worst part is that he's genuine with this.] What's it like being the favorite?

[its_tv_time]

[... well, Tenna doesn't really believe, considering the whole not even trying to move thing, but okay. This pokemon clearly has its pride, and he can respect that!

Hehe... is he Ribombee's favorite? His antennae twirl together happily.]

Well! I'm just glad that Ribombee has seen some potential in me! Ah, I'm so happy~! [Is he... aware that that he's genuinly one of the favorites?] But don't sell yourself short, my friend! You've really shown your mettle here for such a small guy! You know, I once knew-

[He cuts himself off, face going blank. Just as quickly though, he's back to grinning, as if nothing ever happened.]

Anyway! [He holds out one of his appendages.] You're not so bad. What say you? Shall we return to town?

[friendlyflower]

[What the heck was that all about?]

Anyway. [He's too worn out to open that can of Wurmples right now! He files it away for later.] Gee, thanks, Mr. Tenna! It really does mean a lot coming from you. [This is once again suck-up behavior. He can't exactly shake hands, but he does tap Tenna's outstretched appendage with his stem. The two of them make their way back to town.]

You know, I used to watch TV all the time! Everyone used to crowd around the TV to watch Mettaton's latest special. [One last desperate attempt to endear himself after this blunder of a mission. Tenna's bullshit detector may or may not pick up that he's being honest with this one. Flowey did everything, after all, and that included watching every single episode of Mettaton's shows.] I bet you two would've gotten along great!
