SOJOURN
MALUS

"Because that would be the dumbest thing one could possibly do to another Wanderer." They were not lawless. They lived and were meant to have each other's backs. If they decided to suddenly start killing each other then well, they would most certainly have a problem. One she would be quick to rectify immediately. Most likely with their death to show them what would happen if idiocy took hold. Her tail swayed back and forth as the lioness wandered over and she looked at Inferno. The way she connected things was rather out there but she cared little about the situation now. Instead the Kingpin looked over to the ones that were here and the book that was presented. A book of flowers. She never spoke about her favorite things, truly never had a reason to but she guessed it was okay to show the child.

Lightly she tapped the book, a small smile forming on her muzzle. "If you would like to know, Lethe, my favorite flower is called the Middlemist Red. I've only seen it once though...it is a very rare flower." She had a small sadness in her voice but she only stepped back from the book and sat down. The talk of foxglove was interesting but she didn't care too much for something poisonous. She was deadly enough.

More bickering between Aphra and Inferno, of course. The two could not be in any situation together, or it would go haywire. It was almost becoming an annoyance, everyone had a general idea that Aphra was confrontational, surely, but Inferno should have known better than others, given how she was much older than the current rabble of spawn that the woman had brought to the ranks of the Coalition. At the very least, it was almost expected that arguments would break out if not careful which words were used around their mother.

Choosing to ignore both, however, Angel looked back down at the goopy dragonet and her book of flowers. The corner of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to smile at the forgetful little lizard...slug...thing. "No, it's not mine. I don't really have books on botany...on plants." The correction came a moment too late, but he figured Lethe would forget the potentially strange word before she had the time to consider what it meant. Although, despite not being his area of expertise, he couldn't help but look over and try to get some visuals of the colored pictures, blocking out the background noise that meant nothing to him. Minus the bit about feeding the baby some poisonous flowers, but even he hardly expected Aphra to do something to stupid. She would have been in huge trouble for an assassination of one of their own. Of course, he didn't have to vocalize that, a much better figure delivering the line. Spotted ears raised at the voice of the Kingpin, glancing upwards with about as much respect as he could muster last minute. "Ah...hello Sojourn." Was that too much? Mmm, he didn't think so. It was being polite.

Favorite flower, favorite flower...what would he say his was? Many made it into the final round for his decision, truly, but only one had the honor of his mind wandering back to it. "A favorite...a would say roses are rather pretty. Not particularly dangerous, but the thorns will hurt you." He could have offered the knowledge that the flowers themselves were plenty edible, but the thorns would have sliced up a small dragon who didn't always think before acting, and he would have felt his soul leave his body if forced to witness something tear up what made the plant so lovely to look at.

A quick blink as the Kingpin herself arrived in all her blazing glory then a frown as a question was poised. Lifting of shoulders in a shrug, she didn't know what plants she favored. Never really had been on her agenda to figure out exactly what flowers existed nor did it ever interest her to look at them. "I've taken a fancy for Lily of the Valley.." She offered with a bemused expression on her face. Poisonous to her but beautiful. Nobody said if it should be harmful or harmless. They were pretty and she had been drawn to them albeit its rarity.

[glow=grey,1,400]ONCE A WHORE, YOU'RE NOTHING MORE ! — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]

The fact that Lethe hadn't gone far from camp (let alone outside) was a relief to Aphra, considering that Oleander went clear to the god damn Typhoon and Dario got injured. The only one who ironically wasn't a damn idiot was the one that couldn't remember jack shit. How ironic is that? Though of course Aphra wasn't necessarily concerned for the children, it was the fact that them being irresponsible for themselves would come back on her. "Yes, I can show you one. You'll need to remember what it looks like so you don't accidentally ingest it." She reinforced that fact, trying to make sure it was drilled into Lethe's head that this was very important. The last thing she needed right now was to be blamed on poisoning her own daughter. Aphra was a terrible mother sure, but she wasn't that terrible, right?

Lethe then started talking to Arvid, suddenly turning to Aphra and asking if she could bring some flowers back to show the scientist. "You can." She confirmed, though not much of a surprise. Lethe promised not to eat any of them and she would hold the dragonet to that. At least, Aphra assumed that stating it out loud would help her remember it. Maybe not though, who knows?

Aphra looked over at Sojourn as the Kingpin came over, impressing Lethe and making the dragonet chirp and doing those weird little excited-squirms. Truthfully, the Warlord was curious what flower Sojourn was referring to and as such, stayed around to find out. No comment needed though, Lethe definitely had that all figured out.[glow=COLOR,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]

TIME MARCHES ONWARD, CRUEL AS CAN BE
STUCK IN THE REAL WORLD, NOTHING COMES FREE

Reading was something that Ruven had been slowly learning to do on his own time. He was still young of course and didn't really need books considering he was more interested in fighting at this point in time, but he figured that it would be a fun thing to do if he wanted to learn something quickly that someone else couldn't teach him. Like food recipes that weren't sandwiches or just kill that was added to the pile near the camp. When he saw the group of gathering animals around Lethe, the young lion made his way over, ears pricked as he listened to the conversations happening, listened as the various members named their favorite flowers - two of which he stuck in his mind to try and remember to the best of his ability - and watched as Aphra offered to show Lethe the flower that she shouldn't eat.

Making his way beside the slimy dragon - he didn't mind the slime, he could just wash off later - Ruven would offer a smile to her before looking at the book. "I can read a little bit, if you want me to find some flowers in the book for you?" He would offer, paw pointing towards the flower that was on the top of the page, "I don't really have a favorite flower, but maybe I can find one in the book one day." He wanted something badass, but he wasn't too sure flowers could be that.

[ARVID R.]

Lethe was actually interested in learning to read? That was... surprising. Not because the girl seemed like the type to dislike reading or shove books away. Rather, the tiny dragon seemed fairly forgetful and absent-minded the majority of the time. So, the thane wouldn't have been surprised if she didn't want to learn merely because she felt she wouldn't be good at it. He found himself glad that she was trying to challenge herself, though. A small smile curled on the canine's muzzle before he spoke, a soft chuckle leaving him, "Well then... I'll be happy to teach you how to read, then. We can start off small, with some easier picture books. While this book in particular is beautiful and a good book for researching, it is also filled with some hard to understand technical jargon." He tapped his yellow paw against the pages, particularly over some of the more heavy language. Things like complicated Latin names, and scientific facts about the various flowers inside. Arvid could understand some of it, but even he had a bit of trouble with certain parts.

When Lethe mentioned bringing plants back, the young scientist's eyes practically lit up, his tail wagging behind him. He said with a pleased hum, nodding his head, "Definitely feel free to bring plants back! Obviously if you're unsure on whether or not a plant is safe, you can bring it to me and I'll tell you. Although... there is one plant you definitely shouldn't touch, and that's poison ivy. I'm sure it's somewhere in that book you've got there, so you can look at the picture and avoid it. It won't kill you, but it'll make you terribly itchy and miserable if you touch it." He had only gone near poison ivy once, and that was out of necessity. One of his poisonous plants had been growing nearby, and he had wanted to grab it no matter what for his concoctions. Unfortunately, that day had ended with him feeling miserable and practically scratching off his skin as a result of brushing up so close to the leaves of three. He didn't want Lethe to go through the same thing, especially since he wasn't sure she wouldn't scrape some scales off.

As others began to rattle off their favorite flowers, the dire wolf found himself hesitating. The obvious answer was one of the flowers he used to make his poisons, but those weren't really his favorite. He just found them to be useful. His favorite, though... well, it might surprise some. Shifting a little on the spot, Arvid offered up quietly, "As for me... my favorite flower is tigridia pavonia, or the tiger flower. I actually like it mostly just because of how it looks... although, it is also one of the rare flowers that you can eat part of without having it taste awful. The bulbs are even a delicacy – they can be roasted and taste like chestnuts." Perhaps, at some point, he could try sharing some roasted bulbs with his fellow wanderers. He'd have to find some tiger flowers first, though.

Arvid seemed to  brighten up as he talked about his favourite flower, quite unusual, but Inferno lifted her shoulders in a shrug. "Arvid, I can help you find some of those tiger flowers, if you want?"
