[Even Rita can't pretend that the books and research were the only things lost. She scratches her cheek and nods, though.]
Well, there's always plenty to research...
Anyway--look over there.
[She turns in the opposite direction from the mountain and points towards the center of the plains, where a massive tree with flowers in bloom rises. It seems like a better place to focus on.]
[ Rita's really had a sad life from what Tyr can tell... Not that he pities her, but it's a thought that comes to him until Rita distracts him from it again. ]
Ah-
[ At her direction, he turns towards the tree that looks completely pink from their position. His eyes go wide with wonder again as he stares at it, taking in its size that makes the village underneath it look almost small. ]
[ Without a doubt. Tyr wants her to see Gregminster sometime, too. ]
I see... [ And now maybe he'll be able to see all the different flowers when they come into bloom. It makes him smile a little to imagine, and that smile stays there as he continues to explain. ]
There was a large tree back in my world, but it didn't have lowers like that... There was a village there, though...
[She'd like to see the place he calls home, too. After he's seen some of her world...
Rita smiles back, and easily starts thinking about the trees.]
I think trees like this are pretty rare. This one actually fused with its barrier blastia, and they became something like a spirit...The only other time I've seen trees this unnaturally huge was when they were contaminated with too much aer.
[ And then once she does, he wants to see more of hers. It feels like they have more than entire lifetime to do that. ]
Ah... [ He thinks about that as he stares at the tree. It's a lot to take in. By now, he can think clearly enough to know aer isn't an issue anymore. ] So that blastia brought that tree to life?
[Gremio's cooking~! And flying around with Ba'ul--wait, Rita'd rather stay on the ground, actually...
Blastia~ Clearly Rita thinks that the tree and blastia becoming a spirit together makes much more sense than the tree having a soul to begin with, and she stares right back at him.]
Yeah, that's right. I'd meant to study the tree here to find out more about it, but I hadn't had the chance yet.
She nods; studying the tree is certainly something she'd still like to get to, but not right now.]
In this area? There's the Shaikos Ruins further down the mountain range, and plenty of monsters. We could go to the capitol...That would take a few days.
[ He'll hold her hand forever!! Unlike the usual.////
It would be a boring trip if she was just poking around a (really interesting) tree all day, so he's glad she's fine with putting that off.
After hearing about Aspio, he's not in any mood to see more ruins. ] It might be okay to take a few days' trip... And there'll be monsters along the way anyway.

Is that real?
no subject
She almost laughs at his reaction to seeing Halure's tree, though.]
Of course it's real! They wouldn't build a fake tree in the middle of a city like that.
no subject
His face flushes a little, realising how he must have looked right then. ]
It's so big, though. I haven't seen one like that since...
[ The elves' village was burned down... MOVING ON. He points to it. ]
Are those all flowers?
no subject
You've seen one like it?
[She tilts her head curiously, but then moves on to answer his question.]
Yeah, that's right. The tree produces a few different kinds of flowers that bloom during different points of the season.

no subject
Yeah. Even before we converted all the world's blastia to spirits, that tree somehow changed on its own.
no subject
Wow... Maybe the tree always had some sort of spirit. Some people would believe that.
no subject
And she is totally not going to think about that ridiculous ghost story the mayor kept telling them.]
N-no way. It was because of the blastia! They have, like...the remnants of a consciousness in them, and the tree must've brought it to life.
no subject
Tyr stares at her. It would figure she'd be too cynical to think a tree would have its own soul. That and blastia is more like ♥blastia♥. ]
So when they merged, the tree took its spirit and the blastia came to life with the tree?
no subject

no subject
He can't really argue against her since he doesn't know anything about the tree... It's better to just shrug and move on. ]
I guess you'll have plenty of time to do it now...
Let's study it later, though. There's more around here, right?
no subject
