[ 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.
...huh, I didn't even notice that. [ not that he goes skipping through the woods to take in the scenery often. ] Yeah, hopefully I'll find something like it. Let me know if you see anything. For now, I guess it's back to foraging. What's next on the menu?
[The sound flickers out again; his footsteps are silent as they move through the forest, until they come to a scattering of what looks like some cross between chard and lettuce, the leaves a very dark green]
[ childe changes into a fox and leaps onto his shoulder, letting him bring him to the small clearing of strange flowers. he hops off and changes back, setting a hand on his hip as he gazes down on it. ] Unfortunately not. But if it grows up in the cold, then it shouldn't be too temperamental. [ famous last worlds. ] I want to bring some of it back with me.
…thanks. [ he smiles at the plants. ] I’m not much of a gardener, but I made a promise, so I intend to do my best. Any tips you can give me about these little guys?

[He bends to do just that, unhitching a tool from a metal harness strapped to his thigh to dig them out]

Well -- don't go overboard. I ain't a farm boy or nothing, I just know what I picked up since we got here.
