She apparently noticed his trouble and restated her name, this time at a more manageable speed. Ulilohi, he repeated. His face lit up brightly; he was pretty sure he got it that time. Does it mean anything? he wondered, eyes alight with genuine curiosity. The loner shared her interest in foreign cultures and peoples, even if the exotic names of these individuals tripped him up. Hell, stone sober he couldn't get TaeKyung's name right — thus why he called her 'T.K.' In any case, he did his best to file the non-bastardised version of her name away in memory.


Regarding the plants, he nodded eagerly. Among other things, yep! he confirmed. What do tomatoes do? Barrett failed to grasp how utterly not on the same page they were, so his wording was a little strange. As far as he knew, there were only three reasons to grow crops: for medicinal purposes, for livestock consumption, and as intoxicants. Maybe Alae's plants and the butterfly gardens fell into a fourth category — for aesthetics and aroma. It certainly didn't occur to him they might be produced as foodstuffs for canine consumption. Since it was obvious to him they were talking about drugs, he could only assume the 'tomatoes' produced some kind of delightful delirium. Would it be more like the mushrooms? Or the opium? Maybe one of those elusive stimulants he'd heard about? Perhaps they could work out a trade!


His tail swung with blissful optimism as she dismounted. Despite her size, she moved with fluidity and landed with grace. He beamed as she accepted one of his treats, although he was mildly confused by her word choice — the caps weren't very substantial and they weren't made out of meat. How could they rightly be called food? No matter. Of all things, his brain latched onto the preceding word next — foreign. So wait. You're from out of the area? I thought AniWaya was just around the corner. He had no idea the Nova Scotian tribe was just one branch of a much larger society.
