...hm. [ childe plucks one of the mushrooms and inspects it. ] I don't know much about gardening, but I wonder if we could grow these things a little closer to home.

Ah, that reminds me... since you know your way around here, have you see any flowers? Unusual or otherwise? I want to try collecting some seeds. I know this may stretch our offer a bit, so I'm willing to compensate.

Flowers, huh? I seen some here and there.

There'll be a whole lot more when the weather warms up, though.

...yeah, I kind of figured as much, but this is something I would rather do sooner rather than later. [ he made a 'promise'. ] Could you show me where?

You got, it chief.

[He thinks a minute - straightens up, and tips his chin toward another direction]

Might have some luck out this way.

[ childe nods and turns into a fox, bounding off in that direction. he does come across a couple of flowers, but none fit the aesthetic he's going for. he does decide to take some with him though, since beggars can't be choosers. ]

[Did he just take off??]

[Heading that way after him,]

[ he did... lol. ]

[ he can be found in a small clearing picking a couple of different flowers. ] Looks like there's a small selection. [ he should probably... slow his roll, because one of the flowers is a little nippy. ]

You might want to steer clear of that one, chief.

...what happens if it bites you? [ he's playing with fire and basically playing chicken with it. ]

Hurts like hell?

Some of em swallow you down and keep you for a couple months.

...aw, that's it. I thought it might be something interesting. [ he lets it bite him. ] I assume that's a slightly bigger one.

Couldn't say. I ain't be stuck in one yet.

How much do you know about this thing? [ wiggles the finger the plant has latched onto. ] I wonder if I could take it back with me.

Might be you could.

Might be you'd give some folks nightmares, while you're at it.

...that bad, huh?

Some folks have been caught an awful long time.

[ this is going to be super ironic soon. ]

Ah. [ takes his finger back. ] But this one is just a baby. [ pokes it, which prompts it to snap at him again. ]

You know how fast these things grow?

Cause I don't.

...

Alright, fair, I'm not interested in going back to a room that a carnivorous plant has taken over. I guess this little guy isn't for me then. And it's not exactly a romantic plant... [ ... ] or is it?

Is it?

... [ yes. ] Probably not. [ he might come back for this. ] Let's see if there are any other candidates around.

Why don't you narrow down what you're looking for some?

You seem like yo got something in mind.

I do, yeah... Ever hear of the Gladiolus flower?

Can't say I have.

[ childe grabs a stick and tries to draw it in the dirt, but... it probably doesn't help much. ] Well damn. I guess I can just find something pretty to start with. It's just... that flower has a lot of meaning behind it, so I thought it would be perfect.
