Are there any, uh, specialized mechanics here? Engineers, maybe?

[No, Nick has no real idea what he's asking for, but he has to try to find someone to fix his friend. And speaking of helping a friend...]

Also, I've been told there's a doctor on staff here. Is that still true? There's something I need to discuss with you.

[And with that out of the way, Nick pauses for a moment, debating how to phrase what he needs to say next. Finally, he goes for vague, at least over these.]

Reese, man, you got a minute?

Comments

[yolonceler]

There's a ton of other herbs or whatever in the apothecary. Haven't gone through them, though.

[detectivetroll]

Really? I'll have to give them a look, then. I've got a couple of friends interested in that kind of stuff.

[yolonceler]

Yeah, they're all up in Marigold's Tower. There's a lot of really rare stuff, and I have noooo idea where they got it. It's super cool.

["Rare" to him means things like roses and daisies. Hey, man, they're all gone.]

[detectivetroll]

Rare? In that case, I might have to bring my friend with me. I'll have no idea what it is.

[...yeah, Nick can manage those, at least. He's going to be disappointed in this treasure hunt for rare herbs, man.]

[yolonceler]

Yeah! Well, I mean, what's rare to me probably isn't very rare to you. But still.

[detectivetroll]

Not a plant guy?

[yolonceler]

[YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT]

What, no, I love plants! Love them. A lot.

[Are you convinced?]

[detectivetroll]

[Nick just laughs a little. Oddly enough, he's heard something like that insistence before. Coming from Portland, some people consider it practically a sin if you don't have your own personal garden.]

Relax, man, I know you can like plants even if you don't know anything about them.

[yolonceler]

Yeah, uh, I don't know very much. At all.

[Except truffula trees! He knows everything about those.]

[detectivetroll]

Are you interested in learning?

[yolonceler]

[As if he needs yet another hobby.]

Oh, definitely. Always wanted to keep a little garden that consisted of more than some potted ferns.

[detectivetroll]

[Hey, don't knock a lot of hobbies, man. Nick's best friend has about a million of them.]

I can show you a few things. Mostly edible stuff.

[yolonceler]

Can you really?

[Seems like he does need another hobby.]

That would be awesome, man.

[detectivetroll]

Yeah, definitely. I'm finding I have a lot of free time, here.
