[ For reasons that start to get complicated to explain, things with vines that move on their own give Broca a very, very bad feeling. He's had past experiences with things that have been a lot less polite than these particular poinsettia, and without a weapon in hand he hasn't really wanted to go near any of them.

So needless to say he's 0 for 0 on gold rings at the moment, though he does watch in bemused wonder as Nami dives for one, gets pollen blasted in the face, and gets an entire explanation for what is happening to her now.

One ear twitches in surprise when she turns around to actually address him, and his gaze flits between the poinsettia and Nami's now rashy face, giving just a single, slow shake of the head. ]

Not so sure it's even worth trying.
