[Azdaja's letting them do their things while she stares at the limbus plant, committing its every detail to memory, including its scent, so she can write it down once she gets back to her sketchbook.]

See if you can find some seed pods while you're at it.

Seed pods! Right!!

[ she's still darting here and there filling her bottles, and then a flask, and now she's turning her attention to the main plant itself, holding up the trowel like a knifecat ]

Let's see what we've got here.

Oh! And Tempo give it a scan. [ a shimmering green light bathes the entire area as tempo commits it all to memory. he plans on sketching it too, but this should help get all of those teeny tiny details! ]

[ he carefully puts his goo canisters back in his satchel, approaching the plant carefully with maomao - mostly to make sure nothing bad happens. ]

[Oh, okay. She sees how it is. Tempo has rendered her irrelevant. She's just here to carry the bags, apparently.]

[Well, whatever. She's still resting. And supervising.]

[ she's examining the ground, wandering here and there to try and find the best place to start, then finally crouches down, sticking the trowel into the dirt as deep as she can ]

[Is she trying to dig up the main big plant or some of the smaller sprouts nearby--

If it's the sprouts first, it doesn't take long to pop them out the ground. Boop! They come out a bit easily and the bulbs. . .well, they look odd, to say the least. They seem to come with a sack of goop. Easy and portable, wowie!]

[ JUST ONE OF THE SPROUTS FOR NOW ]

--! Aha!

[ she is not worried about the shape. she is just happy she got this thing up ]

Nice!

[It has a bulb!! That is so encouraging for their odds at success transplanting this thing!!]

Nice! [ fantasia manages to say in unison with azdaja. he’s feeling real good about this too - especially since that goo sac is still completely in tact. ] We just need to be a little careful, since we don’t want that to break.

[ he’ll take one of the emptied jars and fill it up with some of the nearby dirt, holding it out to maomao once that’s done. ]

Right, it's probably important to the plant as a whole...

[ she is actually holding her breath a little as she starts the transplant process. her attempts to cultivate the wolfsbane have so far been failures, but maybe this!! maybe this will work!! ]

Think you can collect a few more?

Absolutely. I think I have enough goo, so we can use the jars that you brought for the bulbs. [ he'll grab another and empty its contents, so he can start filling it with dirt. once he's created a decent ( temporary ) home for the tiny plants he'll take the trowel and start digging up a second... mindful of its roots. ] ...they're kind of cute.

Hehehehehe...

[ Don't mind her as she starts digging up a third, as carefully as possible in spite of the laughing under her breath. She's living her best life. ]

Can Tempo can measure the ambient conditions here? Temperature, humidity, soil moisture, amount of light... that sort of thing?

He can, sure. Tempo, come a little closer. [ he leaves maomao to collect the last couple of plants, so he can lead tempo around the area, so he can check all the different conditions of the area. ] Tempo, bring up the blue print. [ the tool box shines its light to display the plant model, and then suddenly a bunch of numbers start popping up - temperature, humidity, air quality, & light intensity. ] Soil moisture might be a bit difficult...

There you go... and you too...

[ in spite of the Perhaps Concerning giggling, she is very gentle in transplanting the little bulbs. this is actually a pretty good day, the little mishap with the hunnysuckle aside. ]

How exciting. ♥

[that said, she's basically in a holding pattern until the other two finish what they're doing. She's continuing to rest until then.]

Alright, let’s get ready to head out. We don’t want to stick around here for too long, since that honeysuckle might start to recover. [ he brings all the goo and collected plants over to azdaja, so he can start getting everything ready. ]

We've got one for each of us now.

[ Maomao does not speak in singsong, but this is about as close as she ever gets, as she toddles over with her two new plants in her arms, careful with the balancing act ]

If you guys can load up the saddle bags for me, we can start heading back.

I'm so glad! [ fantasia looks almost as giddy as maomao about the plants. ] I'm so glad you thought to bring all of those jars, Azdaja. [ he'll load up her saddle bags for her as he summons both of his mechanical friends to his side. ] Is everybody ready? Do you want me to take the lead again? In the off chance I need to stab that plant again?

[ finally dreamwidth lets me back in ]

--If we're planning on harvesting any of that, it might be for the best...

[She pulls herself to her feet. Whoof. She still feels fatigued, even with that rest.]

That works for me. You're in charge of any combat from this point on. I don't want to spill any of this goop.

[ kaveh nods. ] As soon as we get back to the honeysuckle patch I'll hang back, so Azdaja you can get the heck out of there. If you want to collect a few samples, then I'll keep watch, but as soon as that thing twitches I'm grabbing you and we're running. [ he'll start back toward the honeysuckle patch, which thankfully isn't too far, but he's just a little on edge. thankfully... his stab seems to have really knocked it out, so no real problem to skirt by. ]

--if you could get a little extra for me, I would appreciate it. I've been using it for my most recent experiment.

[ though if the monster is still out, she will in fact follow Fantasia out to gather for herself ]
