Blasted heat... how could someone live in this place? Things just always seemed either to be biting at him, or him falling into some sort of ditch in this weird place! It wasn't soo bad... if he had kept to the roads and traveled like any other sane person, but no... he had to go off looking for this plant that was said to grow here. He almost didn't think that said plant was here, but it seemed that everyone in the capital already had this plant and where using it so very wrong! It shouldn't be smoked! It should be cooked in a small pot with a closed lid to simmer the flavors, then strained to remove the leaves. it was a delicious tea that when deluded enough it wouldn't have the effects that everyone kept getting when smoked. He shook his head again as he took a stop and sat next to a tree. He looked up and noticed that it seemed that he had been here before, so great... he was lost. That was when his stomache started to growl... did he even have anything with him? With that he started to look through his backpack and only found a few fruits that he had found on his way. |

 Now, Davy was not the sort to go wandering about in Midori's wilderness for the heck of it; he was out on a very specific mission. That mission would just happen to be searching for a special worm that grew in amongst the dead leaves and debris on the forest floor. He pushed the leaves away with his paw, picking up the squirming things on the surface and sticking them promptly into a pouch. The fish went wild for these things and they made the absolute best bait. A flash of black and purple caught his eye. Not often those colors would be seen in the bright and tropical land of the Midori. He did a double take to realize that it was in fact a Torquehelm feline. How odd! He certainly didn't look like he knew where he was going. "Looks like ye've got yerself a bit lost, stranger." The teen gave a soft laugh, leaning against a tall palm tree as he watched the feline rummage through his backpack. "Did ye get separated from yer guide?" |

Menefer looked up from his backpack to realize that someone was indeed speaking to him of all people. it seems like whenever he gets lost that someone usually always comes to his rescue and finds him in the oddest of places. here just happened to be in a rather deepish part of the Beaches. Though he wouldn't turn down something good for no reason.
"Oh, I'm lost indeed, though I had no guide to help lose myself though." he said with a bit of mild amusement in the fact that a guide would get him lost. he couldn't help but notice that the person in front of him was a child... most likely in his teen years. It was a rather relief that it wasn't someone to take his money, and it was a good thing that he had a bit just in the case.
He sat up from his backpack and lifted an starfruit that he had found on the way in, "Names Menefer, want a starfruit?" he asked as he held it up for the teen. He just loved the juices, and a smoothie was the best with bananas!

Davy gave a small laugh at the man's joke; easily amused enough to be able to appreciate lightheartedness. At the offer of the fruit though, he'd shake his head.
"Nah… appreciate the offer, but I'm just comin' through to find grubs fer fishing. Speaking of finding' things, what brings ye all the way out here iffen you're not out here for a tour? Or rather, I assume yer looking fer somefin'."
Pushing off against the tree, he'd trudge a bit closer, getting a better look at the feline. Torquehelms were probably up there as one of the least seen realms in the Midori. Few of them felt they deserved to treat themselves with a vacation when they were often so focused on torturing themselves with those strange bindings. This guy… the immediate vibe off of him was not that of the typical Torquehelm. This guy was downright bright spirited! Certainly an oddity amongst the norm. But then again Davy knew all about being an oddity.

((Note: I'm going to set this after "Whatever She Wants" so his bindings are removed))
The Cat smiled at the young man and stood on all fours dropping the starfruit back into the backpack. He wondered if he could really trust this kid, I mean... he wasn't looking for something legal. Though he didn't plan on using it like many others in the realm, he was a cook and wondered what it was going to be like if he sat and cooked it in with several things. The plants of the regions had wondering effects no matter how they are prepared. For example, the plant yellow tail from the Yarrow Gardens and birch wood from the Highlands made into a tea could be used as a birth control.
He gave a shrug to the youngster, "Well, I'm here as a cook, and I'm looking for ingredients." he said as he hefted the backpack on his back, boy it was soo much easier with all four of his legs.
He gave an examining look and gave a cheerful smile to him, "Well, how about if I help you look for some grubs and then you can help me look for some rather rare ingredients." he said as he gestured to the wilderness about him.

Davy folded his arms in front of his chest with a smirk. "Rare ingredients, eh? Well, iffen there be any, I'd know about em. A fair enough deal, my feline fryman." He snorted at his own joke and dropped down to all fours so that he may more easily search for the grubs.
"Oh… is Davy, by the way. My name." He'd almost forgotten to extend his own in response to the Torquehelm, and he covered his blunder with something of a smirk as he tossed a grub into his basket. "So. Tell me about this rare ingredient you be looking for. Must mean quite a bit to you if you be willing to get yourself lost in the jungle. Then again… not too bad out here."
The again, he was sure he was biased. Not all cards loved the intense heat and humidity of the Midori climate. Then again those people rarely seemed to come around.

The cat looked up at the young Midori and blushed somewhat. If he were to outright tell the other that he was out here looking for the drugs that would be found and transported out of here for illegal reasons then he might be looked down on and he just didn't want that. He frowned and then looked around some, wonderin what he was doing until he saw him flip another grub into the basket. So he wasn't telling a lie... he really was going to go fishing.
The jungle was rather rough on him and that made him sit back down and watch the other for a moment before getting up again, taking another swig of his water can before speaking, "Ahh yes... rare indeed but apparently everyone has them for various purposes, but none like I want to use these said plants." he said as he put his own nose to the ground and dug near a tuber to see if their would be any grubs there as well. He was quite happy to see that there was a grub to be found!
"I found one!" he exclaimed in excitement.

"One? I've found five. Yer pretty slow at this, matey." Davy laughed loudly and held out his paw where the grubs squirmed, placing them into his pack. "Bah, is all right though; it's probably yer first time pickin' about fer these wormies, eh?" He opened his bag for the feline to toss the grub in.
But this whole issue of this rare plant. It was getting somewhat annoying.
"Look, your not any closer ta finding the plant ya be wantin' by beating around da bush… haha… bush. Plants…. Anyways. Ya might as well tell me or we're gonna be sitting here dickin' around not finding' it at all. And no offense, but I don' think I be knowin' ya well enough ta be dickin' around with ye." Hah. A dirty joke, but despite the smirk over the innuendo, it seemed the young man was quite serious about wanting the cook to outright spit it out. Davy was not one to like skirting around a subject like some mincing Esterberry.

He looked to the young teen and couldn't help but to laugh, after all he was beating around the bush so to speak and he deserved to be told such. He gave a sigh as he helped to continue to look for the grubs that Davy was looking for.
After a few moments of thought did he realize that he hadn't found a single one, "I guess that I'm no good at this, and for your demand..." he gave a heavy sigh as the next rock yielded no grubs. "I'm looking for Sunset..." he said as he looked up at Davy. "You see, I was hoping to get my hands on some and use them as an ingredient for my cooking, hoping to give a relaxed feeling when someone ate it with their meal." he said with a shrug.
He hoped that this man wouldn't just turn him out to the police, after all he had no real papers with him to back any of this up save for the ability to cook food.

Davy paused for a minute, staring at the man. Finally, he gave a laugh, but looked around, but not in an anxious or secretive way. No, if anything the lad looked a little embarrassed! Not embarrassed for himself either; just a little embarrassed for the cat.
"Ah. Um." He cleared his throat, brushing some dirt off his paw before running it through his hair. "Ye know that stuff is legal here in the Midori, right?"
Legal, and definitely not rare. Not in the Midori, anyways. The only reason the thing didn't grow out of control like a weed was because the other native plants did a good job of keeping it in check.
"You're best off buying it off of someone than digging around out in the dirt for it. The best of the Sunset grows near a spring a little ways inland, but me ma has it growing in her back yard."
