Silco admired the confidence and the level of detail. He happened to enjoy working with organized people despite the absolute chaos of the city that he happened to live in normally.

He laced his fingers together as he contemplated the two options, taking his time to work through both scenarios mentally. Both sounded extremely time consuming, and if this man was half as skilled as confident, it also meant expensive. No one did anything for free, and this was a big ask, healer or no. His resources were currently limited, but he also wasn't one who would squander an opportunity either.

"The first option would be better with a soil sample, which I can't provide at this present moment. The soil, the air, the very nutrients are polluted where I'm from, but I've been told the mutation that created these flowers is rare but persistent." He set his shoulders a bit more as he gazed over at the healer. "My affliction has eaten too deep at this point." He brushed fingers across his scarred cheek. "This is from the water of my world."

He finally sat up completely. "Your time, your efforts, and your expertise will come with a cost. What will that be?" In his experience, professional curiosity only stretched so far.
