Oh, I've had those! In...I think it was Afsaana. I'll have to do a bit of research and experimentation but I'm sure I can come up with something good. We'll just have to visit Rivain one day to refine the recipe.
[ Now it's Athessa's turn to have her eyes light up (probably literally, too). ]
Even just getting close enough would be good, but I definitely want to go back someday. I'll have to, anyway. Baz says I need to get some seeds for trees there.
[ Even if Bastien had been saying things only to make her feel better, it was a good idea. ]
Oh, I was — [ She waves dismissively, because why she was upset is less important than what Bastien said. ] — ya know, being a mess again, and he told me I'd be alright, so I asked when?
He said, first we'll go lay my clan to rest, and while we're there we'll find some acorns or seeds. Then we'll go to Rivain and get seeds from there, and from one other place where I was happy. And we'll find somewhere nice and pretty and calm to plant them, and when the trees have grown and birds nest in the branches, I can ask them if I'm alright, and they'll say that I am.
[ It's silly, perhaps, such a story. But it feels like the sort of thing her hahren would say. ]
I think so, too. He has a way with words like that. And I think, even if he wasn't serious or he just knew what to say that'd make me feel better, it'd be nice to do it anyway.
[ Shrug. ]
So I gotta find some seeds whenever I manage to go back.

[there is a melancholy to his tone, though the comment is completely sincere. It is a melancholy prophecy, though perfectly laced with hope.]
