A | A reluctant rescue
[You were going about your business. Business that just so happened to involve passing a certain redhead cornered by two maids in the Hall of Glory. Carrying on your way, when--! Hands grab your arm and suddenly you're being dragged into the conversation.]

Ah, well. I'll consult an expert on this, heheheh~.

[Suddenly you're confronted with a blonde and a silver tressed maid.]

Which one's cuter?

[Choose carefully. There's the distinct feeling you'll make an enemy out of whoever the loser of this Paris on the hill situation is. Must be why Zelos is ditching it on you.]

B | It's not the size it's how you use it....?
[Hanging around the courtyard, Zelos is concentrating as best he can. Block everything else out... He traces a cross in the air, and... The skinniest, most pathetic bolt of lightning streaks down to leave the faintest scorch mark on the pathway stones. Ugh... It's just no good.

Zelos let's his head droop. He's been at this for a while if the various scorch marks and uneven patches on the path say anything. On the bright side all the foliage in this area of the path is immaculately trimmed though the leaf clippings everywhere could do with being swept up. Fun stuff. Tiring stuff. So when someone passes by he shoots out his hand.]

Yo. Hero secret handshake ♪. You wouldn't leave a fellow hero hanging, would you?

Choose your own adventure!
Feel free to shoot me a PM or PP sekishi for plotting. Or just slap something up and I'll roll with it, it's all good!

TYRNEN, KASEN

[glorifiedtrash]

[Ah, jobs being given out. Don't you just love it. More collecting for people who can't be bothered to help themselves. Zelos has the list of plants as they exit the Atelier. He looks over his fetch quests companions who may or may not have been dragged here at his insistance, who knows.]

Alright. First one's...tarragon. Anyone know what that is?

[This is off to a an amazing start.]

[path_to_the_world]

It has a lot of long green leaves attached to a central stock. It also has a distinctive smell.

[He hadn't been expecting to be dragged out, but at the same time he was getting used to Zelos' way of doing things.]

It's common to cook with so we probably shouldn't have to search the wild. At least I hope so....

[liberal_arts]

-Of, as always, Kasen tagged along because he's Kasen.-

If it's good for cooking, I might take a few extra to try in some recipes, if no one minds.

[glorifiedtrash]

...

[Staring at Kasen tbh.]

This isn't a field trip. [It was totally a field trip.] Anyway it has to be alive. Check the city park? Before we start breaking into private gardens.

[Either way no more standing around! He started walking. Just ignore how casually he surmised they'd have to get illegal. Nothing to see here.]

[path_to_the_world]

We can still look at the market! I'm sure there are live plants for trade.

[ Really, where did you think private gardens got stuff? ]

[liberal_arts]

The finest examples will likely be in the private gardens, I'm afraid. For a sweeter reward, we may as well seek out the more beautiful. -Sorry, kid, you're outvoted.-

[glorifiedtrash]

Well if it's going to be like that...

[He put on a thoughtful face.]

Either of you been to a noble's house yet?

[Because. If they were talking about fine gardens. He was jusssst saying. Might as well just go for the good stuff. Tyrnen you should probably take control before this gets more illegal.]

[path_to_the_world]

Not in this world....

[He had a bad feeling about this. He really didn't want to have to charm some noble into giving them part of their plant. And he felt with these two they would make him do the talking just to watch him squirm. ]

[liberal_arts]

I was owned by a daimyo, but the culture of nobility may be a bit different here.

[glorifiedtrash]

...Alright. Executive decision. Meeting real people for the both of you!

[Like. Seriously. Kasen da hell. AND HE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT YOU TYRNEN. Placing hands on each of their shoulders he was just going to propel them down the street towards the noble's district. Yep. He wanted to check that out anyway for his own personal reasons... And there was one with a pretty famed garden. They were minor nobles, but the Chantoise family with, what do you know, two lovely daughters of 15 and 22 respectively was pretty well respected for their green thumb. And what nobles would turn away a trio of visiting heroes?

The only question was could Tyrnen and Kasen flirt at all. ....God he hoped they could flirt.]

[path_to_the_world]

I have met real people!

[Even if he avoided it. But oh wait, they were being directed towards a house in the nobles district. No no no.]

Wait... wait, are we even dressed for the part? Don't we need to send a card first? you can't just show up on someones door unannounced that's just rude!

[Flirt? Unless standing there awkwardly feeling like you were dying inside was flirting definitely not. However if push came to shove he at least knew social graces, hoping what he was taught from his world applied.]

[liberal_arts]

Well, if nothing else, this will at least be exciting.

What an elegant house... I wonder if they appreciate it.

[glorifiedtrash]

Probably not.

[Knowing nobles. Ignoring Tyrnen's protests!! Going up to the gate of a palatial looking house (if on a smaller scale to its neighbors...) he caught a gardener's attention and introduced the trio. Exceedingly quickly they were shown into a parlor and hosted by Drizella, the older sister who was known to be hard put to be impressed by anything outside of scholarly pursuits, and Anastasia, the younger sister who changed fads as quickly as days and was quite clearly taken with the culture of Ma Jiang at the moment.

Drizella is not impressed. Anastasia is way too impressed. Zelos is drinking the expensive wine that was laid out along with tea and cookies. Discuss.]

So... You heroes are looking for a plant? Don't you think your time would be better spent with more charitable work?

[Drizella is really not impressed. Anastasia waves her fingers coyly at Kasen and Tyrnen with a giggle. Fight hard guys.]

[path_to_the_world]

Ah, well that is true to think, however it is quite of grave importance that we obtain, at the very least, some clippings. Though such things might seem of in sequential consequence they are quite important for research purposes....

[He was trying to think quickly on what might impress this woman, and politely pretend he couldn't see the other. Why, why was he always put on the spot when it came to Zelos? Kasen wasn't much help either. Though, shouldn't a man of the arts know how to charm such people easily!?]

Perhaps, if this research proves fruitful, credit might be bestowed upon those who were so gracious as to support the project....

[Mostly lies, yes, but, not exactly untrue. He was sure the alchemist was working on something, and it wasn't like he couldn't ask after the fact anything made with the plants could have this families name added to some sort of note. Maybe a "and with thanks to" sort of thing.]

[liberal_arts]

Credit and prestige. -Kasen added locking eyes with the young daughter and flashing her a champion smile.-

And what's more, you'll be helping create something elegant and beautiful, much like this home, and your lovely daughter.
