I'm looking for a specific type of flower. It's small and white and it gives off a delicious scent. Maybe it's something like jasmine? I'm not sure. Its been awhile since I had any.

I think the butterflies will like it. {Granted they aren't real butterflies, but surely phantom butterflies love sweet scents too?}

I remember them blooming for most of the year or maybe I'm mistaken? It has been so long. My mind is getting old.

I was definitely spoiled back then. If I asked for them, someone would grow them even if it was the wrong season.

I know better now.

It's just the memories that I miss.

What kind of climate was it? Maybe they grow in one of the regions?

Also, how's today for that tea? I think we both got busy for a while.

[disgracedprince]

Xianle could experience all seasons, but I wouldn't say the seasons were harsh. Not until the drought and the famine.

Yes, that sounds nice! Are you up for visiting me or should I come to you?

[wrotetheworld]

Spring might be your best bet then. Probably would be for most flowers anyway.

And I'll come to you!

[disgracedprince]

Spring is a good time for all plants, I presume. I don't mind searching.

Let me give you directions. {He sends them, highlighting the location of the little cottage.}

[wrotetheworld]

Good luck! If I see one, I'll send you a picture so you can see if it's the right one.

I'll be right over. And I'll bring us some snacks.

it could be jasmine you're talking about? (⁠◕⁠દ⁠◕⁠) They're small and white, and they're used in tea, so I can see them fitting the word "delicious" :D

Flower tea is delicious anyway. Have you ever had camellia tea? I had a few cups of it recently. I'm afraid I have awoken a craving for more.

[infernaltouch]

I'll take your word on it being delicious. I can't taste anything, I'm afraid •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

But you're craving more? Are you able to obtain camellia flowers?

[disgracedprince]

What has become of your tastebuds? Or is that normal for your race? I don't mean to jump to conclusions!

I might be able to. They probably won't grow well in Autumn.

Hmm. Sounds like jasmine but it might not be.

You lost memories?

[disgracedprince]

So much time has passed. It's difficult to hold onto the early memories.

Maybe it is jasmine. I would like to know its name.

[dadbeatdad]

Do you at least remember if you drink it, eat it, or both?

Text

[disgracedprince]

I think you can drink it, but that's not why I want it.

If you find seeds of it, I would be happy to grow them for you.

[disgracedprince]

Truly? Flowers are so delicate. I know I don't have the skill to tend them.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Of course! My season is spring, and one of my new skills is helping things grow.

[disgracedprince]

How wonderful! Are you familiar with jasmine?

[heavenlyscourge]

I will keep looking.

[ Because of course he's already been hunting for them! ]

[disgracedprince]

Let's try Spring.

[heavenlyscourge]

Yes. That is probably the best place for it. When do you want to look?

[disgracedprince]

We have plenty of daylight now if you're free? Or maybe I'm too impatient.

[This happened to catch his attention while he was working.]

Tuberose, perhaps? Or sampaguita? Frangipani? Sweet autumn clematis is also a small white flower with a powerful scent, though I don't believe it blooms all year.

I don't recognize most of those names. I would need to see them in person to know. The flower would need to grow in the Kingdom of Xianle, which is part of China.

[physicianhealthyself]

And China is the country you hail from? I'm afraid to say I've never heard of it, but I should be able to supply some images of the flowers I mentioned to see if any look familiar to you.

[disgracedprince]

The name is foreign to me, but I believe China is the future name of my land, yes.

Could you? I would be very appreciative.
