[Might be bad timing, but Rhus reaches out to as many Strangers as he can after the daily morning exercises held by Allairavar are over, before the meager breakfast offerings.]

I've been workin' on growth formulas to speed along plant growth, but for a stronger one I need somethin' that cant be available here. That means I've an adventure to undertake, an' I need three companions to come with me. [Forgive him, he prefers making his delivery of the facts concise-- perhaps too concise, sometimes.] I'm off to the wilds of Adh Rikair down south to get to the plants there, an' the librarians tell me it weren't easy. On foot it takes too long, but there's a way to quickly travel. The darker your Jewel, the faster an' safer the psychic highways will be, I'm told.

But the wilds are full of dangerous people, hence they insisted I have companions to help out-- aside from you helpin' me transport back the plants I need to work with. The Winds are darker'n Red, an' I should be safe as a Sapphire. I don' know what these Winds are truly, or how they operate, but if you're close to my colour or darker, an' you've no issue with combat if it becomes necessary, mayhap you could come with.

[A pause before he starts up again. He almost forgot.]

An' whoever else who don't come can still help out-- I've some plants already dosed with weaker formulas. They need tendin' an' close examinations while I'm away.

[ooc: plotting can happen in my ooc post too!]

Mine's green if that helps.

[She's not super happy about being outranked, but figures she'd offer.]

Haven't run into anything I can't hold my own against here yet, so if you need another person, let me know.

[And yet this person is a woman, thus she might as well be Sapphire or darker. This much Rhus knows about the differences between men and women.]

Are you fine with sleepin' in the wilds for a few days?

[That's true, but not something Mordred typically thinks about, finding it easier and less headache inducing to think of it as this color beats this color.]

I'd prefer a bed, yeah. But I'd be a pretty crappy knight if I couldn't make camp for a while.

[She says this like Rhus is just supposed to know that. But Mordred's...Mordredness aside, she'll be fine. So long as she doesn't have to sleep in a crypt again or anything like that. Then there'll be no end to her complaining.]

[As if he knows she's a godsdamned knight... Rhus sighs, but it does not filter through into the psychic link.]

Then get prepared with what you need, an' I'll call again when I find a fourth to our group.

[Probably for the best, otherwise she'd comment on the sigh and it'd probably turn into a mess.]

Yeah, all right.

[She'd leave it at that, but...]

Wait, who else do you have so far?

Mollymauk. [He's unsure if she recognizes the name though.] Only other Stranger with a a tail 'round here.

Yeah, I know that guy. Definitely a good choice for this sort of thing.

Oh, I know exactly what he can do. [In a manner of speaking.] An' he volunteered first, after all.

[Not that she'll admit it, but Mordred's just glad there's someone going along that she's met and she more or less gets along with.]

Well, don't know who else you're gonna get, but pretty sure we've got this.

[She's sure she's got this. And Molly's pretty good at fighting stuff. So yeah, she's not worried.]

If the plants I need were actually there, an' I ain't workin' on outdated information.

Didn't think about that, this whole thing could just be a waste of time, right?

Or utterly peaceful an' a good break from everythin' else.

[Gods, oh he hopes so.]

[Okay, that sounds better.]

I wouldn't mind more of a break. Not too much, don't want to get rusty, but a little more can't hurt.

We'll see what waits us there-- an' I s'pose you'd be the first one I sic on a witch or Black Widow since you're rather eager.

Yeah sure, just point me at em.

[..she has issues with witches and the like.]

If we must, hope you understand. I ain't up for fightin' if we can help it, I only wait to get what I need an' leave.

[He has to repeat that.]

Of course. Just saying if we do run into trouble, I'm more than fine with taking care of it.

[She'll be his sledgehammer, he thinks.]

Aye, aye. Jus' be careful, all right? We don' know what those witches an' Black Widows do.

Yeah. I will be.

[She's not going to say she's always careful, but she'll do her best to be on her guard.]

Wouldn't be doing a great job of helping if I rush in and get taken out by something.

Aye, that's true. [It's only lucky that this is a psychic link, and thus Rhus' sigh of relief wont be heard. Nor would the lighting of a match or the deep inhale through the mouthpiece of a pipe.

Or his long, slow exhale of sweet smoke.]

I been learnin' healing some here in Draega, but I don't know much still. But I can if I must.

Probably more than me, so I'll leave the healer stuff to you then.

I'd rather you did. No need for more'n one healer in a small group.

Aye, I prefer it that way. But that weren't an excuse for you to not be careful, yes?

Hey, don't worry about me. I'm always careful.

[...she really isn't.]

Y'know, I lost count at how many people told me that. As a practised healer, I never believe that.
