While Dee and  Knaxia were talking, she accidentally uncovers an embarrassing secret about his past! She makes a mental note of it much to his chagrin, probably so she can tease him about it later. He's a little tempted to whip out some memory-fuzzing demon magic, but it would be quite rude to break out the memory-curses on someone you're dating. Dee might be a demon but he's got standards… 😜

 enskyer also overhears it, and is not fortunate enough to be romantically-entangled with Dee, or far enough away by the time Dee notices him. Dee is avidly-keen to prevent this trend of people "knowin' things" from spirally out of control. So he nips it in the bud by transmogrifying the hapless bystander into a nice manageable potted plant. Not the kind that can go around entering fighting tournaments or pelting kids with bullets, either. It's the kind with roots that are made for sitting in soil and not for walkin' on!

I mean, he probably could have gone some simple memory-fuzziness, but it serves as a good deterrent for anyone else who may have perhaps also overheard some juicy secrets while in the same room. The same chat room if you will. Which they definitely didn't do… riiiiiiiight? There's definitely nobody else who might need to be made less noisy, right? Especially people who don't want to end up transformed something unfortunate for the rest of their lives… 😡

Dee is more than happy to get into a habit of baleful-polymorphing anyone who causes trouble for him. Enskyer (a.k.a. Excaliber) should be grateful that he still has a few things, like a face and all that. He should definitely think about keeping his leafy mouth shut about a certain thing, if he wants to maybe not spend the rest of his life as one of Kree & Dee's house decor items… 😜

Knaxia is probably wise enough not to push her luck on her quasi-immunity, having no desire to experience time on the vegetable side of life any time soon. It's better to save that juicy secret for when she wants to tease him in private anyway…

So yeah, a silly idea that popped up when I mentioned something in a chat on Telegram as we were discussing some other TF nonsense… I'm the only one brazen enough to spill Dee's secrets because I'm safely outside of his native dimension of influence… and even then he's still in my head so I oughta be a bit cautious even then… 🤪
