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.

[dendroculi]

[ ? ]

Never?

[piteous]

Well, No Man's Land is young. Humans only landed a hundred and fifty years ago, so what ruins there are are still rather modern.

[ To him they are. ]

More like abandoned buildings.

[dendroculi]

Oh... that makes sense. You're right, they wouldn't be very old ruins at all.

[piteous]

Nope! Though I guess old ruins would be the crashed spaceships, but people excavate those for parts and lost technology.
