Sleeping Dragon Topaz

She matched his sentiments in her own way, although with a healthy amount of dramatics that quirked his brow, although spurred a hint of sympathy towards their similiar outcomes. Hers seems much more tangible, though, and her not finding the plants she wants is a bit more detrimental to them as a whole than him not getting to rough anything up on the borderlands. Quite the opposite, almost.

"That's unfortunate," he rumbles with a soft shake of his head. Momentarily his expression takes on a furrow as he contemplates how this could be eased. Her question for him did well to redirect his train of thought, for a beat, at least. "The borders.. no, not in a while. Only the typical sights there. The Grotto wolves have managed to keep away, too.." he notes, or so it seems. He knows better than to let the guard go lax just because of some quietude. He doesn't trust any of their neighbors as far he could toss them, especially not with Gyda's puppies afoot.

"Have you done much searching just past the Dragon's slopes yet?" he asked while trying to dredge up all the places he knows plants might be of interest to her. With Gluskap and the Heda, they had gone towards the shores, so he wondered about a mention about that despite it not being what he felt was a traditional plant hunt. It had been more sea-based than he'd originally thought it was going to be. Although.. there could certainly be overlap in her instance.
