I had someone with healing magic accompany me, and so I was able to test plants on myself to see if they did what I thought they would. Quite a few were rather benign, but there were a few that caused symptoms of distress nearly immediately. Sweating, nausea, that sort of thing.
[ Poor Michael. He had to see and heal some things. ]
It seems as though more of their plants have defenses against predators than I've seen in Solvunn.
[ Which means possible medicinal uses if she could ever get her hands on them. ]

I would like that, very much. I'd enjoy seeing you more in your element.

[Alas, it would have cost everything, and his priorities lie elsewhere.]
Do you favour meeting to discuss work sometime? I should have the appropriate facilities the next time you call.
