[Gojyo gives Keith a pat on the shoulder, then removes his hand entirely.]
Looks like you're a natural, hotrod.

[It took Gojyo closing his eyes to focus on the plant. This doesn't come naturally to him. There's no bitterness when Gojyo claims Keith is better at it. He's used to this Not Having Magic thing - and more importantly, Not Being Excellent At Anything.
Slowly, the plant lifts one more leaf than it had before, and Gojyo opens his red eyes again.]
There ya go - all better, Ma'am.
[And he pulls a fresh cigarette out - just doesn't light it yet.]
