His fingers twitch slightly at the contact, but he accepts the gentle squeeze with only a trace of bewilderment. When she withdraws, he wonders, should he say something…?

But no, at that moment Lioriley spots some of the flowers they’ve been looking for. Rezo takes the bag she hands him and tries to think about herb collecting. Such things are far simpler. He considers the problems of storage, transportation, examination, and what equipment there is available on the train, and comes up with a rough estimate of how much he can practically handle.

Relaying it to Lioriley, he adds, “By all accounts, however, we should focus on gathering as much as we can find.”

When they reach the spider plant patch, Rezo will pause at the edge of it, considering. He can smell the sap coating the vines, and the sweet, almost citrus-y hint of the fruit cups underlying it.

…This could get messy. But, he thinks if he proceeds slowly, he’ll be able to grab the flowers without getting too wrapped up in the sticky vines.

“Would you pass me one of the shears?”
