You feed it to him.

Tetro: Uuunghh...where am I?
???: You're in the Mineral Meadows. You passed out after you landed from that high fall. You're lucky that your spine didn't break.
Tetro: ...Do I even...have a spine?
???: No clue. Anyways, I'm Lazlan. Who are you?
Tetro: I'm...Tetro...agh. This still hurts. A lot.
Lazlan: Don't worry, it's not that bad. So...what are you doing here?
Tetro explains the entire situation to Lazlan.Lazlan: I see...so you're the one that can wield the Magic Paintbrush and defeat Reaper? That sounds very interesting...May I join you on your quest?
Tetro: Sure, I already figured I'd need some companionship if I ever want to survive this.
Lazlan: All right then. Allow me to explain one thing about these lands though...There is a large glass dome called Glass Garden not too far away from here that contains a monster made by Reaper's minions. It's called the Diamond Flytrap and it's made of that Ruby Flower you are seeking. We can retrieve it by defeating the monster, but it's too powerful due to Soll the Solar Magician. He's Reaper's second strongest minion and he can create sunshines so bright that it can make a flower bloom in a few seconds. He keeps powering up the plant with his magic and therefore it keeps becoming stronger and stronger. The Diamond Flytrap itself is already as strong as it can be, but due to its overflowing power, more flytraps are starting to bloom at random places. They will eventually put this land in even more ruin. We need to head to the Glass Garden and destroy the flytrap. The other plants that have sprouted off it will then die too, as the flytrap is their main energy source.

One of the Diamond Flytrap's segments suddenly raises out of the ground! It's snapping its weird plant jaws around like crazy, in hope of finding prey.
What do you do? Engage combat with it or run away?
