[ squatting in the castle garden, staring at the bioluminescent flora ]

Huh. You think these things'll keep glowing if you pull them out, or do they just. Poof. [ snaps his fingers ] Turn right off, like a light switch?

[ WHAT... KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? Niah, his wolf daemon, seems to squint. But now he's thinking about this seriously. ]

... They should glow for some time before it eventually fades because it can no longer draw nutrition.

[ At least he thinks so? ]

The easiest way to know is to check yourself.

[ HE JUST CUTS SOME DOWN WITH HIS SWORD. ]

I mean, it could've sprayed nasty glowing poison juice at us when you break it, but sure. [ he picks up one of the now-detached mushrooms and holds it up between them so they can both see if/as it fades. ]

You know a lot about glowing plants?

You would be fine as long as it doesn't stay on your skin too long.

[ He says this, but he's basically all clothed so he would probably live longer. Anyway, no poison spraying shrooms? ]

No, I don't.

[ he is bullshitting. ]

Talking real confident for someone who doesn't know anything, then, huh?

You're asking questions like you expect me to know answers. I formed them from experience, not botanical research.

And by experience, do you just mean "the past 5 minutes"?

I've been poisoned a lot in the past.

[ so not five minutes, but not experience you would want to have. ]

...by glowing plants specifically, ooooor...?

Animals, people, plants, and environments.

[ ALL SORTS OF THINGS. ]

Wow. You're not really good at the whole self-preservation thing, are you?

I'm alive, aren't I?

Not for lack of trying, it looks like.

Anyway, the fungi are at least edible.

...you know anything else around here that's edible?

Based on the fact that Power hasn't gotten sick, the deep sea fish and glowing crawling creatures are fine.

Yeah but Power also likes to drink blood. And eat raw meat and stuff. Not exactly the most average sample of a digestive system, ya know?

Yes, but those things are also edible.

[ WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER. ]

With the lack of resources here, we have to make do.

[ country boys make do........ ]

Well, I'm not about to make do with these first! You try 'em.
