[Vincent, please consider: Misty is enamored with the idea of tending to a conniving carnivorous plant. Let her have a vicious baby.]
Well, no, obviously we shouldn't let them get that far. What about, hm-- breeding restrictions? Can we neuter one?
It just seems a shame to go to all the trouble of growing one only to completely destroy its nature. If necessary, I am fully prepared to keep it in my cabin and not give access to anyone but qualified greenhouse staff.
[ Vincent is considering it. He's considering how he's going to navigate trying to convince Misty this is a bad idea before she realizes she can make the request wholly independent of Vincent's suggestions. He has.... regrets.
Misty, you want to raise a zombie plant that turns people into zombies to breed in your room where you sleep! ]
I think isolating it in a cabin near other residents would be a bad idea. [ Dryly. ] Making it unable to get an easy meal doesn't sound like it'll rob it of its nature.
[ Probably make it use something more cunning. The thing is capable of moving. But as for the neutering? ]
I'm not sure that's possible. Plants aren't my speciality. Much less what this thing is.
[And while Misty could potentially make the argument that medicinal plants in general are a specialty of hers (or, at least, something that she has some hands-on experience with), she can't say the same about this specific one. So she sighs wistfully, and says:]
All right - a compromise. We'll stick to the less... fraught options, at least until Durge brings us a solid proposal for containment.
[ To say Vincent is a bit relieved would be an understatement. He hears the delay and the exception- don't think he doesn't understand that until means that Misty's still aiming to find a way there- and that's enough for the time being.
Hopefully Aerith can help him make sure the risks don't get forgotten in the excitement. ]
That sounds like a good idea. Durge loaned you the herbal primer? Feel free to copy it. There might be other plants to interest you that aren't as much of a threat.
[ The primer covered a lot of medicinal herbs from Faerun (probably focused mostly on the continent of Toril and the Underdark).]
The requests are just focused on what are needed for the potions I intend to keep in stock.
