[ Theo’s back in his farm after having grabbed some pastries and coffee from the station café, lounging outside and just watching the weeds and overgrown trees fighting for his attention. He’s normally more social than this, but he’s been bummed about the bus situation — now more than ever, with that latest announcement. ]

So what the heck does HYPERDIMENSIONAL SHIFT NOT WORKING FOR OUTGOING BUSES mean and how do we fix it?

It is a veritably easy going place to be stuck.

[Oh, hm. Grainne taps her chin as she decides how to respond.]

How much would you like for them?

[sonofdawn]

I just didn’t really bother, since I’d hoped to be out of here fairly quickly.

[ He’s a little surprised by the question. He’s not the enterprising sort, and his family’s big on service and helping others. ]

Oh, no, you don’t have to pay me. It’s not like I spent anything for this place.

[impossibilities]

Aye and they meant us to live off the land. Would you care for a trade then? A pie or two?

he can crash into her thread and bring the plants over?

[sonofdawn]

Pie? Well, then, that's an offer I can't refuse.

But you'll have to tell me SPECIFICALLY which of these you want, because I can hardly tell the difference.

Sure thing!

I have a blueberry going spare. [She's rather proud of it.]

Will give you a list of the leaves to identify, but if there are a few weeds in there I will not be upset.

[Did he know blackberry leaf tea can be used to sooth upset stomach and throats? Dandelion is eaten as a salad and the root can be used for medicine, too. Those are just some examples of Grainne's list she sends, along with a brief identification guide.]

[sonofdawn]

[ Okay, he's actually impressed by the list. And the fact that there are so many useful plants hidden among what he'd simply dismissed as a garden of weeds. ]

Wow. This is great. I had no idea.

This afternoon a good time for me to drop by?

[impossibilities]

[Botany is one of Grainne's best subjects.]

It is good enough. I will be in my farm house garden.
