[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!]

I'd call it... Dull but important. People need food after all. [And starvation is not fun to watch. Or experience.]

[sunborne]

Really important. It's stuff like this and people like you who keep the gears of society moving. [ as his mom would say. (he's pretty sure he butchered that quote, terribly so, but one gets his point.)

and with that- ] Gonna let you plan it out with the others without my yammering getting in the way! I'll probably bother you for more details on how to take care of the plants but that's for later.

Wish you all the best in this, buddy! I'll try to keep track of the plants and everything while you're gone.

[Daylight sounds like he's quoting someone. Gears of society indeed-- no, no Rhus is not. He's the toolbox that they use to so anything and everything they need. Sometimes he's still bitter about that...

Or is it Fray who's still bitter and Rhus is simply feeling it?]

... Thank you.

If you could keep up with 'em, I've notes by the hour on the plants I already work on.

[sunborne]

I can do that, sure! [ this is sounding more and more like things that he used to do back when on dust tumbles. the threat of famine didn't hang over his head when checking the crops and taking notes of their progress, but the system sounds like something he can do.

so- yeah! he can do this. he'll do his best to do this since rhus and others depend on him doing this right.

and he then adds: ] If you need anything else besides this stuff, let me know? I want to help you out the best I can.

[verstoned]

Aye, aye. ... If you could make it legible, it'd be nice. Draega script is indecipherable to me.

[Rhus thinks he's missing something he should tell Daylight... But cant think of it.

(That his writing is not in the local Draega script because he can barely read it, nor in Eorzean script, but in his native Hingan kana and kanji. But you know. It's just things.)]

[sunborne]

Sure can do!

[ daylight, for his part, doesn't realise he should ask what script rhus would prefer these notes to be in. ]

Take care, Rhus! Hope you and the others have a safe trip when you go out.

[verstoned]

Aye. Thanks.

Jus'... be careful, aye?

[sunborne]

Will do! Same to you, buddy. Make sure you take care of yourself and the others do the same!

[ daylight is confident that nothing will happen. well- nothing that will force him to be careful, at least.

what could happen in a few weeks time? ]
