The Cooper farm has a wood shed.
(This is not likely to be news to anyone who's had a chance to wander it.)
What is new (and strange! and interesting!) is the odd little plant now sitting in a pot on the windowsill. The pot is perfectly ordinary, and so the narration will not deign to describe it (beyond it being brown and plastic) when it could instead be devoting adjectives to the plant itself. It's small, and adorable, and a very slightly less vivid green than it was yesterday. It has a bulbous pod in place of a flower, currently safely shut. (The word "safely" seems to be appropriate here, taking into consideration what appear to be the needle-thin teeth fringing the pod.)
The plant is bored and thirsty.
(If you offer to get it some water, it will pop a cap in yo' ass.)

Yeah.
"Aww," says Gabriel quietly to himself as he peeks in the window on his way to go feed Spots. "Cute plant."

and potentially delicioushuman creature!Will Gabriel stay for longer if the plant gives him a big cute vegetable smile? Without actually moving, of course, because that would be silly. But, you know, if he glances away for a second... it was that adorable all along, it swears.

That's creepy.
Gabe makes a mental note to go tell Steve about the grinning plant, because God knows it's probably a subject of deeply riveting scientific interest.
