FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER:Tav
RECIPIENT: All! With a private note for Stephen Strange and Cosima
NOTES: None atm!

[Tav takes a deep breath before beginning. His nervousness is palpable, even before he speaks.]

I am pleased to say that, thanks to our research department— specifically Strange and Cosima—, I have been cured of my…. malady. I have passed a month since my curing with no issue.

I can only hope for a second chance to make a better first inpression.

For those that do not know me, I am Tav, a druid and cleric, who splits his time between the infirmary and rebuilding our garden. And, speaking of our garden, if anyone needs any particular seeds collected or grown, feel free to let me know.

[Private to Strange and Cosima]

I believe I owe both of you a drink.

Comments

[tadpoled]

That sounds delicious. They've just moved up to the top of my research list.

[brennvin]

Good! [ :) ]

They grow a lot in the Frostbacks. So if y’happen to ever be out that ways. That’s a good place to find some.

[tadpoled]

I've never been to the Frostbacks, but there's no reason not to visit.

[extortionate]

The fuck you been reading?

[cozen]

Oh, right, of course,

[ with some amusement. like why not. why not that. weirder shit has happened. ]

[sprent]

So glad to hear it!

May I request for the garden something that is good for insects? Bees, specifically. We ought to keep some.

[tadpoled]

Books. The ones in the library.

[tadpoled]

That's what I thought as well when they first proposed it.

[tadpoled]

I am adding it to the list. Would gladly welcome some bees to the garden.

[extortionate]

Gonna have to be more specific, there's at least twelve of the things.

[grindset]

You fought your affliction?

crystal.

[reparo]

What does a druid and a cleric do?

[tadpoled]

Primarily Theodosian Flora and Fauna and titles like it.

Re: crystal.

[tadpoled]

A druid uses the magic of nature to heal and grow while a cleric is largely focused on battlefield healing, in my experience.

[tadpoled]

It's a touch more complicated than that, but, in short, yes I did.

[favoriteanalyst]

Sorry to hear you were feeling poorly, Serah Tav. [Sounds like it was serious, whatever it was???]

Druid's an interesting word to use. Don't see many who call themselves that around. You follow some other god, or commune with the woods?

[tadpoled]

Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm doing much better now.

A combination. My primary duty is to care for nature, but I also worship Corellon Larethian, the creator and protector of elves in my realm.

[grindset]

Without going into specifics,

[because, though he wants to know Everything, Right Now, he himself would rather chew a big mouthful of dirt than specify his own conditions to some guy,]

what happened?

Private

[tadpoled]

[Tav pauses a moment, a little confused by the interest in how he fought his 'condition.']

I had... another version of myself. A dangerous version. I went into the Fade to kill it.

private(∞);

[grindset]

[Well. This is more specific than he was expecting—not that he'll complain.]

This... version of you... did it accompany you through the rift, or was it acquired here?

[tadpoled]

It came with me through the Rift.

If I may ask, do you suffer a similar “ailment?”

[grindset]

Not that I'm aware of, no.

[favoriteanalyst]

Ah, so you're from elsewhere. Explains a few things. Is the druid thing an elf thing in your realm too, or is that a you thing?

crystal.

[reparo]

Oh, a healer! [ The plight of all clerics to be called the team healer, sorry Tav. ] That explains the offer for the garden. If you need help with brewing the healing potions and the like, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

[ Are you skipping steps there, girlie? ]

Oh - right. I'm Hermione.

[tadpoled]

Oh. Simply interested?

Or do you need any other sort of healing? I've healing magic if so.
