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?

SPOILER!!: zee parchyment

Simon looked at Kurumi, he was now staring at her, listening to her every word, he had no idea why, the only person he paid this much attention to was his parents, he didn't even pay this much attention to his girlfriend, he had a feeling it was because she had shouted at him and told him if he didn't pay attention she was leaving.

Simon drank a bit more of his drink and then he finally spoke. "I can't think of anything else." He sighed. "Can you think of anything?" He wanted to get the most ideas of everyone so that Kurumi could see that he did work hard sometimes.
