In Jade's room at the Octavinelle Dorm, the little Jade Tsum is staring at Jade and Floyd as they talk.

Floyd laughs to see the little Tsum, "Ahahaha! Dude, it looks just like you. Is this the Tsum you picked up, Jade?"

"That's correct. Azul and I happened upon it last evening," Jade says, "...Speaking of which, I do appreciate you checking up on the dorm while all that was going on."

"Eh, s'cool. It was kinda a letdown, though," Floyd says, becoming a bit serious, "You said it was an emergency, so I was totally ready for someone's room to be all busted up."

"I'm not surprised," Jade replies with a smile.

Then turns to the Tsum, "Shall we be off then, Tsum?"

The Jade Tsum expresses itself to be happy.

Floyd asks, "What, this early? You goin' on a hike or somethin'?"

"We're just taking a stroll about campus. I thought showing the Tsum around would be a nice bonding exercise. He wants to help out in the Mostro Lounge until it's time for them to go home... And it never hurts to get better acquainted with your coworkers," Jade answers.

The Tsum happily jumps.

"Huh. 'Kay, I'mma go back to sleep," Floyd says and takes his leave.

Once Jade is gone, he turns to his Tsum, "Well, Tsum. It's just you and me now."

The Jade Tsum looks very happy.

Sometime later, Jade and his Tsum counterpart arrive in the Botanical Garden's Temperate Zone.

"Here we are. What do you think, Tsum?" Jade asks the Tsum.

The Jade Tsum hops up and down with a happy expression.

Jade giggles, "Heh heh, I'm glad you find it pleasing. Since you take after me, I thought you might enjoy scenery evocative of the mountains the way I do. That, and I wanted you to see this," And Jade shows the Tsum some mushrooms in the garden, "These are the mushrooms I cultivate here in the botanical garden. I've managed to grow them fairly large and uniform in shape. They look delectable, no? It took a lot of work to get them this way. I had to select the right wood, deal with pests, manage the humidity..." Jade then presents the Tsum to the mushrooms, "Say, would you like to try some? I'd be happy to whip up a simple snack to commemorate our acquaintance..."

Jade Tsum walks to the mushroom and gives it a whiff, like it's smelling it. And then responds by jumping up and lands roughly on it.

"Hm? Jade responds confused, "Tsum... May I ask what you're doing?"

And the Tsum continue to squish the mushroom into pancakes.

"You've crushed them. And after all the work I put into cultivating them... The poor things..." Jade says, looking rather surprised.

And suddenly, he hears a voice, "...Pipe down. I'm tryin' to sleep here."

That catches his attention, "Hm? Was that...?"

Turns out, Jade and his Tsum are not the only ones here. Walking towards them is Leona, probably having a nap here, but Jade and the Tsum wake him up.

"Well, if it isn't Azul Lackey Number One," Leona says, "You were squawking so much, I thought a parakeet had flown in by accident."

"Ah, Leona. I didn't realize you were there. My apologies for disturbing your rest," Jade replies.

He then asks, "May I ask why you're in this corner of the garden, though? I would have expected you to nap in a more sunny area."

"'Cuz I'd rather not let the guys from my dorm find me and drag me into this mess," Leona says.

"Ah, that would explain your change in location," Jade replies.

"Exactly. I'm gonna ride this out and get some sleep. So take your little armadillo and scram," Leona responds with a frown.

The Tsum tilts in confusion.

"Armadillo?" Jade replies, confused. But soon realizes, "Oh, are you referring to the Tsum? I suppose I can see the resemblance. Regardless, don't worry. We haven't the slightest intent of bothering you," And turns to the Tsum, "Isn't that right, Tsum?"

Suddenly, the Tsum climbs onto Leona's shoulder, and begins to gently jump and put pressure on it.

Jade smiles, "My, my. You clambered up onto Leona's shoulder... What a considerate soul you are."

Leona frowns on it in response and says, "Hey, what's the big idea? I told you to scram."

"Indeed, and so we shall... Once the Tsum has finished his massage," Jade says.

And the Jade Tsum continues to use its stubby arms to put pressure on Leona's shoulder, like it's really giving Leona a massage.

"It's giving me a massage?" Leona replies, confused.

"Yes. It's intended to ensure you sleep well when you rest," Jade says.

Leona scoffs, "Tch... Just don't go making any more noise."

"Rest assured—you'll find this Tsum to be quite discreet. Not to mention..." Jade says, "It has a remarkable degree of dexterity and skill in easing stiff muscles. Even Octavinelle students appreciate it."

And in no time, Leona has lie himself back and drifts off for another nap.

Jade smiles, "...Pleasant dreams, Leona."

The Jade Tsum then tucks him in with a tarp.

Jade is impressed, "You're tucking him in as well? You truly go above and beyond."

Then the Tsum hops back to Jade.

Then Jade says, "Though I'm not certain that gardening tarp makes the best blanket... But what truly impressed me was your willingness to walk right up to Leona with no hesitation," And give off a smile, "Not just anyone can get away with that. Perhaps your charming form serves to lower people's guard," then says to the Tsum, "Tsum, you're one frightening person—ah, creature."

The Jade Tsum gives off a calm and happy expression.
