is digging in the dirt again |
| Ferdinand |
Ah, Lyraa is out hunting for her bees again I see. Lyraa! |
| Lyraa |
mumbles Aw dang, him again… I thought this day couldn't get any worse... |
| Ferdinand |
I didn't catch that Lyraa, could you repeat that? |
| Lyraa |
Nothing. |
| Ferdinand |
Are you on the hunt again for the silvercap honey bees? |
| Lyraa |
Yes I am … Uh… I never told ya their name, did I? |
| Ferdinand |
I looked into them after our previous conversation. They seemed really important to you and my ignorance on insects seemed to annoy you also. As a noble, it is important that I educated myself! |
| Ferdinand |
As such, I rescind my original opinion on the silvercap flowers. They are indeed small, but I read that when the moon shines on them in a particular way, it appears as if they twinkle like stars in the night sky! |
| Lyraa |
That's right, I'm impressed. That isn't common knowledge an' it's only documented in one book in the Abyss library. I never even seen it myself, it's that rare a sight. You really did your research Ferdinand! |
| Ferdinand |
Laughs Ah, think nothing of it! It brings me joy to see you impressed with my efforts. |
| Lyraa |
So, you'll have read about the dwindling population of not only the silvercap flowers, but also the silvercap honey bees? |
| Ferdinand |
Yes that I have. I am sorry to say, but there are currently no official efforts to increase the population of these botanicals, nor your insect friends. |
| Lyraa |
Yea, I know. That's why I've been trying to grow 'em myself but it's so hard. I'm not actually very good wi' plants… Wait, is that a cut on your cheek? |
| Ferdinand |
Oh this? It is just a scratch from our last encounter. Pay it no mind. |
| Lyraa |
Nah here, take this. hands over a small pot of honey This is honey that the silvercap bees made. It is amazing for healing cuts up without leaving a scar. |
| Ferdinand |
The honey heals wounds and leaves no scars? I did not come across such a thing during my research. That is indeed amazing! |
| Lyraa |
yeah, right? Insects are way more important than most people realize. That's why it's so sad they're nearing extinction… |
| Ferdinand |
That dire? I am sorry to hear that. I shall look into this matter post haste! |
| Lyraa |
Thanks Ferdinand, you're friend to the bees! |
