But yes. I'll do that. [If nothing else, he expects that Yi Sang can follow the directions.] I'll put together a bag for you to take back so no one has to go looking for supplies.
[And thus he gets to work on the care package.]
Is there anything else you need help with? [as soon as the words come out he hopes it isn't something inane]
Well, sorry to say I would have no clue where to find something like that. Those weren't particularly all the rage where I'm from, so I don't even know what it looks like.
Suppose you could pose the question to the network. Surely someone would know around here. What do you even need it for?
Oh, true. There are a lot of smart people here. Hythlodaeus said that I should get a plum seed and grow it into a tree, and I think I'll do that.
But I'll also need a green thumb - and it'll also take ten years. I don't think I have ten years, since I need the plum blossom to decorate our shared grave.
Oh, that's easier to explain. It's just a shared grave. [ hong lu smiles. ] It's a secret place. I can't let anyone disturb Yi Sang's rest, after all. But I'm trying to decorate it, and Yi Sang mentioned he wanted a sprig of plum blossom for it, and I want to find one for him.
"So that those who may discover us in the future can discern what sort of paths we walked." That's what he said.
A bit grim... but I think I know what you mean. Not expecting to live here long?
[Well. Either way.]
Sounds like something he'd say. In that case... it might be worthwhile to try to look through the gardens in this city. I wouldn't know what a sprig of plum blossom looks like, unfortunately.
[Briefly, Daan thinks of Olivia. If anyone would have known... yes, it would be her, their enthusiastic botanist of the group. Sometimes he finds himself missing her little spark of optimism and hope.
Certainly a stronger soul than him.]
I would at least advise that you go searching with company. Not all of the plants are harmless in the gardens, so it's better you have another person watching your back. But you might have luck in those kinds of places.
wait until daan finds out their shared grave is just... their living room...... face in hands
[ hong lu says, brightly. but he considers this. a greenhouse. he wonders if yi sang would want to go with him, or perhaps don. a place that grows plants might have the plant he is looking for, after all.
it's sound logic. he nods. ]
But alright. I'll take a look there, just in case. Is there any plant you want, Daan? I can look for it when I'm there.
fellahs is it gay to call ur living room a shared grave
[ up he goes. hong lu pats down his pants, remembers he needs to not use his hand so much, and laughs. ] I'll head back, then. Make sure you take care too!

Mm, it doesn't hurt at all anymore. I think I have my full range of movement back as well, though I wouldn't want to punch anyone today or tomorrow.
Can you text Yi Sang the instructions too? He'll help me with it.

I'm still looking for a sprig of plum blossom. You know a lot, so do you know where I can get one of those?

What the fuck are you talking about?

About a plum tree. Do you also not know what a plum tree is? It's a tree where plums grow...

[And Daan's magic only works so much.]
I don't really know much about plants, unfortunately. So nothing comes to mind. But thank you, Hong Lu.
Good luck in your search, and be careful with that hand of yours.
FACE IN HANDS
Okay, if you say so, Doctor Daan.
[ up he goes. hong lu pats down his pants, remembers he needs to not use his hand so much, and laughs. ] I'll head back, then. Make sure you take care too!
