He's been practicing, actively practicing, is the only thing Detlef can assume. After their last conversation he'd been fairly convinced it would take a lot of time before Colin would try using anything, but clearly something's changed.

A few moments of quiet pass before he's nodding, slowly.

"I've a little ability with plants," he says in something only slightly louder than a whisper, "but most of it is with animals. Maybe that's because that's what I practice and use it for, most of the time." Though there are certainly more than a few plants that are doing very well around the stables that owe more to him than nature.

"Do you... Do you have a goal?" A reason for the practicing? And using?
