Caster: I will leave that matter to you and him, then.
[the reply takes a bit of time to arrive, because it's accompanied by a somewhat similar, though rather longer, album, the title of which is Notes on Local Flora (latest version). each entry contains, in small, precise handwriting:
* date of discovery and date of analysis; usually the same though sometimes the latter is a day or two later * at least one photograph of the plant in question, as well as a written description, including scent and tactile details * a description of where it was found and how abundant it was there * any warnings that apply (what parts are toxic if any, whether it releases irritants, whether it's animate and aggressive, etc) and any notes on harvesting it * a description of current medical, nutritional, toxic and other notable properties, usually including flavor * deeper analysis of those properties from an alchemical and medicinal perspective, if any are interesting * if it wasn't Pari or Eddie that discovered the plant, there's a note on who did and when. there are a scattering of other names here or there.
due to the mutable nature of the forest, a few entries are marked with notes like "haven't seen since day X (before snowfall)". while there's almost certainly a lot of overlap, since Pari and Eddie have been at this since the first day of snek and been pretty diligent about it, it's not unlikely that there are a few plants on Tryse's offering that they haven't encountered.]
[She skims, more than anything else. The bulk is to be expected, he has been around for far longer than she, and his two-month lead, with assistance, gives a lot of ground to cover when you're limited to a two-mile radius (or three, in recent times). It'll be a good bit of more comprehensive reading later, perhaps when she's converted everything into something for storage on her Focus.
She'd figured, though, that there might be a few, more likely the underwater offerings or the more mobile sorts, he might not've seen, and there's a bit of smug academic pleasure at seeing that she's managed to put down a few things that he hasn't. Not that she can afford to allow that to run away from her. This isn't a competition, after all. Besides, if it were, the few unique entries she has would be dwarfed by his.]
Tryse: Understand that this is just a quick glance-through on my end. Tryse: It looks as if we've covered many of the same bases, though I've quite a bit of new information to absorb over the next few days, it seems. Tryse: If you're looking to cut to the chase on my offerings, I'd suggest pages [Well. A tiny list, just the ones she didn't immediately spot in his treatise.] though I haven't seen the third entry since the fire. I suspect it's simply waiting, however.
