Simon was happy with Kurumi. "That's a great idea." Simon knew people smelt flowers and so they would know which one was which, he then suddeny had enough idea. "How about you find someone who isn't blind and ask them what the flower is." Simon was sure that would work, though asking a stranger might be weird.

He looked straight at Kurumi. "Okay so our group doesn't get into trouble I'll ignore it this time." He looked at Sierra and then thought to himself, that she deserved to be fed to the merpeople or a plant, that would get rid of the nastiness in her.

Kurumi nodded her head and added listening to the plant as a possible suggest. "That has a lot of possibilities actually," she chirped looking over at Simon. "You would be able to hear if there were any berries or cones on it." Or sharp teeth that were grinding or clashing together. Kurumi shivered a little bit in her seat at the thought of getting near a Venomous Tentacula without being able to see.

That certainly would cut out a few steps, finding someone who could use their sight and the plant's physical features to identify it. "Finding an expert would certainly make things easier," she agreed. Seemed to somewhat defeat the purpose of assignment though, using someone else who could define the plant by its physical features

Choosing to ignore his next comment, Kurumi brushed the feathered end of her quill against her lips as she thought a bit more. "Examining the land surrounding the plant would also help. Some plants do better in moist areas, lots of water and such."

Kurumi looked down at their parchment and giggled softly. Weren't they supposed to just come up with three suggestions? Not that it really mattered in the long rung. The more ideas the better, right?
