Is that why you can combine them so easily to get different kinds of blossoms and fruit?? I mean, I always knew they could have practical uses for medicines and whatnot...but do you think they could have magical applications as well?
And if they're so adaptable, can that be replicated in things that aren't plants? Zelda, I had no idea! Now I know why you're so interested in them!
[Darin pulls away enough to walk backwards in front of her, his green eyes absolutely alight.]
Do you think you can teach me how to garden?? I want to try...what was it called? Crossbreeding?? I want to see what cool flowers we can grow! We can document the whole process! Maybe introducing elemental gems into the soil could affect how they grow!
[A beat.]
Maybe we could use the elemental gems and create new ways to help grow plants out of season! Medicinal plants and herbs! To help with resupply if there's ever a shortage again!
[Darin had never once been interested in gardening but the idea of growing flowers that no one has seen before or being to able to make herb and medicine production more reliable was so compelling he couldn't seem to get the idea out of his head. He whips around, mind already flooded with possibilities as they approach the bar.]
Think you can check some books out for me? I don't know if they'll let me take anything out from Elah...
[It's on a quiet back street on Eltrut. You'd have to really be exploring to even find the street, let alone the bar itself. There's no indicator it even is a bar save for a sign that reads "Shore n'Steady." Aside from that, the lane is quiet save for the two of them, which makes Darin's excitement seem all the more stark.]
