Might I be able to persuade anyone venturing into the newly uncovered areas of this land to bring a few plant samples back with them for study, should they happen to come across anything unusual?

[Baizhu is looking a little pale today. Weary. There are shadows under his eyes but, as ever when facing the public, he has a placid, calm smile on his face.]

As my own health won't tolerate such extended journeys and exertion, I will need to rely on the kindness of others. Naturally, I will offer appropriate remuneration for any efforts.

...Are you sure you're up to it? I wouldn't mind but you seem to be really under the weather.

[gleaner]

You should certainly focus on getting rest, my friend.

But, no persuasion needed. My partner and I were already planning to explore the new areas. Returning with a few samples will not be any trouble.

I had been planning to go take a look myself, Monsieur, but I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with plants myself outside of some flowers. Would an overabundance of returned flora be acceptable?

[knowsvinewhip]

Certainly. I'd be more than happy to assist.

... May I ask if you're all right?

[kappastrophe]

Hell, I'm due for an adventure. Anything in particular you're lookin' for?

un: sasha

[potatogirl]

what sorts of things are you looking for?

[physicianhealthyself]

[He chuckles.]

I am not 'up to it', at all, which is why I am asking people to do me this kindness. The research itself is not nearly so taxing.

[physicianhealthyself]

I will, I will. You are not the first to insist upon it.

[He's just terrible at looking after himself.]

But please, don't go too far out of your way.

[physicianhealthyself]

Certainly! I can easily sort through those I'm already familiar with, and one can never be sure what surprises might be found.

[physicianhealthyself]

I'm all right, Hakkai.

Simply a little under the weather.

[physicianhealthyself]

In particular, I would be looking for anything I have not seen before. I can provide you with a catalogue of flora I'm familiar with, but it may not be of much help to you.

[physicianhealthyself]

Anything new that may have been revealed by the retreat of the Darkness.

Not as simple a request as it seems, I know.

[greatcattitude]

I wouldn't mind then. What kind of plants do you need? Or what kind of areas are you talking about?

[gleaner]

[Well, stop it.]

Well, 'tis certainly a good thing that taking on these sorts of a requests are usual for gleaners.

[Meaning, he would not actually being going out of his way. He may has decided to stop being a gleaner back home, but currently, he needed a source of income.]

Do not worry. I will be escorted by a capable adventurer who will no doubt enjoy taking me off the beaten path, anyway.

[kappastrophe]

Heh. Yeah, that don't help a ton. And frankly a lot of stuff here is weird as hell already, so "anything that looks weird" won't help either.

My guy's got a good eye for that shit though, I can run it by him if you like.

[hathasacat]

Great! I can talk with my partner then; is there any sort of date range you'd like to have these samples by?

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'll be sure to look for anything useful while I'm out there.

[physicianhealthyself]

Are you at all familiar with herbalism? It would be easier to give you specifics if you are.

[potatogirl]

I can do my best to see what I could find!

[greatcattitude]

No, not really but I can try to look a couple of things up. I don't want to make you work anymore than you already have. I don't want you to get even sicker.

[physicianhealthyself]

[Can't stop won't stop.]

You continue to make yourself utterly indispensible to me, Master Erenville.

[Baizhu chuckles lightly, but he is smiling a somewhat more genuine smile than his usual placid expression.]

This capable adventurer, would that be the somewhat feline-looking redhead I have seen you with on occasion?

[physicianhealthyself]

Oh, no. I wouldn't ask anyone to rush on my account! Please take your time, enjoy your adventures, and I will take any samples you come by on your return.

[physicianhealthyself]

Not to worry, I'm quite accustomed to it.

But you have my thanks. Do you have plans to go anywhere in particular?

[physicianhealthyself]

I have no objections.

[Though the comment about stuff being weird isn't wrong... and it does make him smile a bit.]

This 'guy' of yours, would he have a name?

[physicianhealthyself]

I can expect nothing more than that.

I will be sure to send you the address of my pharmacy, so you can come by when you return from your adventures.
