The section with flowers.

[ Out of all of the intricate things, he seems drawn to the simple record of flowers. ]

[dendroculi]

I'd like to see that... will you show it to me?

[piteous]

Yeah! It's over here.

[ He leads her to the room where there are flowers, whether it be painted or recreations of different florae. ]

Some of these I didn't know exist.

[dendroculi]

Oh, wow...

[most of these plants are not native to teyvat, nor are they the generic plants that appear in teyvat alongside the fantasy plants for some reason. nahida's eyes light up, and she rushes in to explore.]

Look at them all!

[piteous]

They're beautiful.

[ For similar reasons, but with less experience, he's also amazed by the variety. ]

Recognize any from home?

[dendroculi]

Let's see...

[she will look around... and then, eventually - ]

Oh! These look like Sumeru Roses!

[she is pointing out a particular flower]

They use these in some desserts in Sumeru cuisine... umm, and it has medicinal properties, too.

[piteous]

[ ohhh.... He comes over to see it. ]

I like the color! What does it cure?

[dendroculi]

I'm not sure... but the Bimarstan uses them in their medicines pretty often. They have agreements with some of the farmers nearby to cultivate them in their fields.

[piteous]

You're not sure? That's surprising... You seem like the type to know all sorts of stuff.

[ He still looms over the rose, then nods. ]

I'm sure there's something to it if people are using them.

[ He trusts people. ]

[dendroculi]

Hmm... think of the things I know as a very thick book. I know them all, but it's easier to recall some details than others. So there will be times where I'll have to take a little time to sift through it all to find the right page.

...it's kind of like that.

[piteous]

That's a very specific way of describing it. A lot more eloquent than how I'd explain how I think.

[ But it makes sense to him, so he nods before pointing to a flower nearby, a single red geranium. ]

This one I recognize, but I don't think it has medicinal properties.

[dendroculi]

[she crouches down to get a better look at the flower, though she doesn't touch it because she doesn't want to get escorted out by shadows.]

It's so pretty... what is it called?

[piteous]

Geranium! They come in all different colors, but red is my favorite.

[ Obviously. ]

[dendroculi]

Red suits you.

[she smiles.]

...I wish we could plant some of these near our warehouses. Hehe, maybe I'll ask the Reapers if I can buy seeds and potting soil from them.

[piteous]

Thanks! I feel like it's my theme color at this point.

I asked Ruby about more flowers around the area, actually! While she didn't say yes, she also didn't say no.

[ That is not the same as gardening. ]

[dendroculi]

Hehe, that's a start. Some flowers will brighten up the place for sure.

[piteous]

Agreeeed.

[ Hm. ]

Hey, Nahida... Is Sumeru really green?

[dendroculi]

Parts of Sumeru are, yes. About half of it is rainforest, and there's greenery everywhere. The other half is desert.

[piteous]

[ YOU!!!!!! ]

Half rainforest and desert?! That's pretty interesting terrain...

[dendroculi]

[hehe? :3c ]

Mhm. Many of the other nations aren't quite so varied, but...

[piteous]

Every place has its charm, right?

[ Anyway, ]

Let's see what else from Sumeru might be on display. I want to see!

[dendroculi]

Hehe, let's see what there is...

[they end up in




an exhibit that someone from earth might mistake for being from ancient egypt but really it's an exhibit on the mausoleum of king deshret]

[piteous]

[ Vash has never known Egypt personally, but I will let him be a bookworm enough to recognize desert ruins a little. ]

Whose desert is this?

[dendroculi]

...I think it's Sumeru's desert. This looks almost identical to some of the architecture in some of the ruins there.

[piteous]

Kaveh did mention ruins before... Never seen any before.
