I guess I will kick off the new year with a hearty hello! That is, according to this calendar it seems like. Back home this would be the Guardian Moon.

Anyway, that's not really what this is about. While it's a little early to think about gardening, I wouldn't mind getting a head start. My home doesn't really do cold months, you see. Cold nights, sure, but snow and ice? Not really. So I really thought about taking up a hobby of mine, you know?

I went ahead and threw together a list of the plants I am looking to cultivate. Looking for anyone who might be able to help a guy out. I've scribbled some rough drawings together, but ignore my messy handwriting. Embarrassing, I know.

[ A grown man has to have a hobby you know! ]

You should have seen what I had access to back home. It won't make your mind spin.

[ The monastery had its own greenhouse and being king? Well... One can only guess! ]

To be fair, even if these exactly plants don't exist here, there are probably some that are comparable or even exist within the same family. Either way, there could be variations so I would have to experiment to see what works and what doesn't.

[ Anyone want to be a test subject? ]

Though I wouldn't mind getting my hands on more knowledge! I'll never say no to that.

It just might!
And that sounds like a research topic in and of itself!
This world is full of endless possibilities, even moreso than the ones we all originated from - it is one of my favorite things about this place.

But, of course! I'd be happy to share - that's what knowledge is for, after all. Perhaps you'd share a bit with me as well in exchange about your collection at home...?

On a similar note, Alfyn may have some advice for you, as well.
He is a - if you will mind the wordplay - blooming apothecary with a very bright future, if you've not chatted about it yet.

See, when you come to places like this? It means that a hobby never really grows boring or tiresome. Who is to say that there won't be new things discovered for messing around a little? Which is me saying that I agree - there are a lot of possibilities that are just waiting.

And I wouldn't say no to a cultural exchange either. You tell me about where you come from and I'll do the same. Seems like a mutually beneficial exchange of information.

[ Which, as one might not know, is a very important thing to Claude! ]

You can't see it, but I did laugh at the pun. Finding an apothecary would also speed things up. Not that I would ever share what I end up making with people at large. Just throwing that out there.

[ In other words, not in the business of selling poisons. Just for personal use. ]

my inbox ate this notif i'm so sorry ;_; BELATED

It sounds as if you and I are in accordance, young man!
Curiosity is the energy that powers discovery, after all, and even a failed experiment is a learning experience.

Speaking of, a cultural exchange sounds wonderful.
Anytime you'd like! We can meet at the Surusthana Cafe, or something similar? I am happily flexible, but it is quite the center of learning.
We'll chat about methodologies then, too.

yer good

[ On his end, Claude laughs. Young man. Failed experiments are just things to learn from. That much he can agree to. ]

Kaveh's cafe, huh? Yeah, sure. It's probably the only place that serves anything remotely close to something I'd get from home.

Though I'll have you know that you calling me "young man" makes me think that you're an old timer.
