[The admission actually gets a little smile out of him. For her, a woman so powerful in his eyes, to admit to any manner of imperfection is... charming in a way. It makes him feel trusted.]

Worry not. I can see to the details. Though if you've seen such a pellet in action, describing the manner of its breakage would likely be of significant help in reconstructing its design.

[ Yuja simply doesn't see her inability to craft things as well as she'd like as a weakness. Admitting that is relevant to the conversation, after all. ]

Ah, I've never used them myself but I imagine on impact they would simply break apart. Maybe because they are made from clay or some other similarly breakable material.

Alternatively, the pollen could be put in thin paper envelopes. [ She taps her chin as she thinks about how best to deliver such powders. ]

On the First, we had a sleep powder but we simply tossed a handful out or dumped a satchel of it from far overhead. We needed special medication to ensure it wouldn't affect us, however.

[Her words likewise send Erichthonios deep into his thoughts, the man raising a hand to his chin as he muses aloud.]

...Such a method of delivery would likely require foresight of need going into the situation... But mayhap any excess may be stored in such a fashion.

[ She nods. ]

The pellets are probably the best idea, then. Though I suppose that's all something to worry about when we reach that point.

Aye. We shall do so when the time comes. In the meantime... is there anything you'd care for me to bring to you here? Until such time as they feel you ready to leave.

[Once again apologetic, he turns his mind towards making her stay here a little more bearable.]

Hopefully it will not be much longer...

Ah... [ She looks thoughtful before speaking. ]

There isn't really anything I need aside from being able to leave here.

Ah...

[Well, there isn't much he can do there that wouldn't be needlessly risking her health.]

In that case... think of what you want to do once you are healed. Whatever it is, we shall see that it happens.

[ Her eyes light up as she leans forward. ]

I want to travel! [ She's been cooped up too long, the itch, no the need to travel is strong. ]

Then travel we shall. Pray heal as soon as possible so that you do not end up waiting long.

[No aggravating your wound, dear friend.]

[ She frowns, almost outright pouting. ]

I'm trying. It's just taking so long.

[Oh, that face. How is it that she can be so terribly charming even when sulking?]

...Apologies. I know you are doing your best. [Else she'd be halfway across the continent and taking on all manner of beasts already, he thinks.]

We shall have a grand adventure together. I shall even do my part in preparing for the journey. Is there aught you would like to bring along with us?

[ Her smile returns as he offers to start preparing for an adventure. ]

Well, we'll need supplies for camping. So a tent or some blankets or bedrolls. Food that isn't going to spoil quickly, so dried fruits and meats, hard cheese, and bread. Cooking utensils, so a nice big pot and ladle would be good.

[ She pauses, brows furrowed as she thinks. ]

Maybe some rope, you never know if you'll need it.

I think I have a good deal of what we need back at my camp, so food is the most important part.

Fruits...

[Head dipping, he takes a moment to think through what he has seen in town.]

Mayhap we can find grapes and plums, and many apples keep well even without drying.

[ She bobs her head in a nod. ]

I don't know how long we'll be traveling. I don't even know how far the next settlement is.

Which reminds me, we need a map.

That would be a good idea. Though, I am afraid, not having travelled myself, I would not know what manner of map would be the best. Mayhap that part should be best left to the judgement of the one with experience.

[He offers her a smile.]

I shall see that we have food and drink enough for whatever journey you might wish to undertake.

[ She bobs her head in a nod. It seems like they have everything all planned out. Well, almost planned out. They still need a map and a destination in mind. ]

We should probably try for an easy first expedition.

[ Since her friends haven't traveled like she has. ]

[Like he wouldn't travel until his feet were raw to be with his friends.]

Mayhap we can make query about common destinations around town...

Mayhap... [ She says thoughtfully. ]

Common destinations are often rather boring, but it could work for a first trip.

If not a common destination, then mayhap a close, yet uncommon one.

Whatever you decide, I shall be happy.

[He hasn't exactly done much exploring… so anything of it will be a new experience to him.]

[ She bobs her head, nodding. That certainly sounds like a more enticing idea to her. ]

I will see what I can find out once I'm free of here.

[At this, Erichthonios cannot help but beam just a little bit.]

I shall look forward to hearing of your findings.

[Hopefully they will not have to wait too long.]

I will visit again soon. This evening. I will bring a sampling of what I am able to find, and you can tell me which you favor.

I look forward to your next visit, then.

[ She smiles at him, tail thumping against the bed. ]

[Smiling warmly in return, Erichthonios nods, then heads for the door.]

Until this evening. Pray enjoy the flowers.
