Storm always felt her best when she was in nature, surrounded by green things and fully exposed to the energies of the planet. They were different here - she was never allowed to forget that they existed somewhere that was little more than a scoop taken out of an ecosystem, something shallow and incomplete - but the fact that the village was too small to have had too much of an impact on the land helped mitigate that partially. A spawling metropolis this wasn't.
Even with dirt on her hands and her long white hair piled in a messy bun on top of her head she still looked a little regal, especially as she rose to her full height to give Kitty a hug, careful not to get soil on her clothes. "It's not just me. Sirius Black wanted to help as well, and his spells have been helpful. He doesn't know much about how plants can work together or what sort of soil they do the best in, though. It sounds like they're very used to using magic to take shortcuts with things like that." It was a little disapproving; she didn't necessarily advocate doing things without a little bit of cheating, but she saw it as more enhancing nature than working against it. She wasn't trying to put potato and pumpkin together and forcing them to get along just because she could.
