Prepare the garden... and beware of worms

Izora had heard that the kind Dextroluma, Blossom, who had been distributing those pink mushrooms and from whom she has got her beloved Jelluxi companion, Hedone, was in need of help to prepare a piece of land for cultivating something, so she decided to go and check if she could help her in any way.
Once she got into the plot of land, she realized that it was full of debris and weeds. She suddenly saw Blossom trying to carry a heavy bag, so she hurried to help her carry it by grabbing the other side of the bag. However, it was heavier than she thought, and soon she found herself face first on the ground, having dragged with her the bag and poor Blossom.
When she realized what had happened, Blossom gasped and jumped to her feet.
“Oh my! Are you okay?!” Despite the sudden fall, Izora got up quickly and nodded.
“I’m fine. Sorry for making you fall…” She blushed, embarrassed. “You might not remember me, my name is Izora. I came here to see if I could help you, but, already made you fall…”
Blossom simply smiled, while shaking her head.
“Don't worry about it, Izora! I have already fallen three times trying to carry this bag, so don't worry. And thank you for stopping by! I could use some help. And I remember you, you got the Jelluxi who was named “Hedone”, a name from the humans, right?”
Izora smiled and nodded.
“Yes. Humans once had a goddess of love called “Hedone” and I find it cute. Anyway, what's in this big bag?”
Blossom nodded as she listened attentively, before speaking again.
“Oh, this is fertilizer for the field. After the seeds are planted, of course. Which is far from being done.”
Izora smiled slightly.
“Don't worry, I can help. I can take care of the weeds on this side, my mother taught me a good way to deal with weeds.”
Blossom smiled even more.
“Oh, that's great! Thank you, Izora! I’ll take care of this side then. It will be much faster like that!” She handed some tools to Izora and both Dextrolumas began working on the weeds that plagued the field.
A couple of hours later, they were almost done. Suddenly, though, Izora gave out a shriek, making Blossom hurry to her side. Before she could ask what was wrong, Izora looked at her with teary eyes while pointing to the ground.
“Blossom! It 's awful! There are worms everywhere! They are going to crawl all over us and make us icky! Such awful beasts!”
Blossom sweat dropped. She couldn't believe that the Dextroluma whom she saw taking care of sea slugs with no issue and that had two pets that were, what she believed, mutant food, was afraid of tiny and helpless worms to the point of calling them beasts. She just patted Izora’s head.
“There, there, Izora. The worms are more scared of you than you are of them. They can't hurt you. Besides, most of the weeds that you took, have some worms attached to it, and you did fine. They didn't harm you did they?” When she looked back at Izora, the other Dextroluma had her eyes open wide in fear and disgust, and her next words were as sharp and high pitched as those of a dying animal
“WHAT!? I touched those beasts?! Why didn't you tell me before! They could have made me icky!” Izora began crying and hyperventilating, as Blossom simply sighed.
“Izora… they are harmless. Besides, if you're going to help me, you’ll see a lot of them! You have to get used to them!”

At those words though, Izora only cried more as she hugged Blossom tightly, causing her to sigh and think that it would be harder to take care of Izora and her fear of worms than to take care of the cultivation and the land.
