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.

[tadpoled]

That is true. It is nothing to be alarmed about yet.

You know, I don’t think I’ve gotten your name yet.

[grindset]

It's Viktor. Research division.

[tadpoled]

So you must know Strange and Cosima well, then.

[grindset]

Well enough not to be surprised they were involved. That is to say, you're in good hands.

[reparo]

[ With the sort of humorous undertone of someone very self-aware that she's A Nerd. ]

Even better, following potions-bewing instructions is one of my fortes.

[tadpoled]

I completely agree. I would not have done it with anyone else.

[tadpoled]

Never met anyone who considered that as a strength. Perhaps we can make more potent versions if the potions we already know with your expertise.

[favoriteanalyst]

Not exactly gonna find Circles here at the moment, either. [He says it with a little laughter in his voice, dad-joke-y. He gets the impression druid circles are not the same thing.] Glad for anyone to take care of the gardens, though. They're peaceful, meditative.

[tadpoled]

[A chuckle.] Realized that when I arrived.

I’m happy to do so. Convening with nature helps refresh me.

[allthatgleamsisgold]

Druidic magics would be a welcome boon for maintaining supplies. To what extent can you...

[A pause. Though it's not his domain of magic, he knows all too well the druidic arts are not about control.]

...commune with nature?

bewing, brewing - i can spell

[reparo]

Improvising and experimenting with potions is also a forte, so I say let's.

[brennvin]

Riftwatch will give you a reason sometime, probl’y.

And there’s the eluvian to Ferelden now, so it’s easier at least. Less sea-sickness on the boat south.

it's all good! i knew what you meant

[tadpoled]

Now that sounds like a great deal of fun. We should try that when you're next available.

[tadpoled]

I can make things grow, attack enemies, entangle them, that sort of thing.

[tadpoled]

I've never been to Ferelden. [He's barely spent time outside these walls, really.] I'd be excited to travel.

[brennvin]

Where are you planning on going first, now that you can?

[tadpoled]

I think Antiva, to gather some fruit tree seeds.
