[Filtered away from Ino.]
[written]

What sort of flowers would you bring to a person to indicate gratitude? Assuming you do not know this person well, but have learned she has an interest in flowers, is there any particular species that lends itself well to this sort of thing?

[Filtered to Sylvanas and Vereesa.]
[dictated]

Sisters. I think we ought to speak to one another without this place being a catalyst for it.

And while we're on the point, I have been considering relocating somewhere briefly. This place controls us far more than I'd like. Surely you two feel the same.

Hmm, yes, that seems the most practical. I wonder if I should offer seeds as well as flowers? Or if that will seem a bit presumptuous ...

Depends on how well ones wished up or found would do. I know I wished for a specific plant here and it didn't do well, so I'm trying growing it from seed now. It might help.

Hmm. Perhaps it won't allow you to have a plant that is not native to this world? What was it you wished for?

It's a plant that I could extract some bits from to make a healing salve with. The ones it gives me here make a weaker version of it. It still works, just not as much as I'd like it to. It might help if I were to cultivate it myself.

[She makes a low, thoughtful noise.] How interesting. Perhaps this place does not wish for you to have the full strength of this herb, to keep things in its favor. Or otherwise it wants you to work for your goal rather than handing it out?

I would bet on a bit of both. As is, it still make a useful bandage, but it's not as reliable as I'd like. I'm going to try growing it from seed and seeing if a student of mine can recreate it instead.

I would be interested to hear how this turns out.

I'll let you know. If I can cultivate it better, I may start making some to help with the clinic. And do tell me how your flower plan goes.

Of course. Thank you, Alleyne.

And thank you. I'd just like to see life thrive here again after the most recent horrible events here.

That is a very honorable notion.

It's just what one should do after such events have transpired. It helps people settle and helps prevent demons from walking on that ground again. It's proof we go on.

I cannot say I have much experience with demons, but if you believe it will help ...

A particular ghost would try to come by my forest every so often back home to ruin it and find girls to eat the life energy of, but we would replant and let her know she wasn't welcome any more. I don't think she's been back since.

[Oh dear. A ghost? Such things exist on Azeroth, even in Alleria's time, before the Plague of Undeath, but ... to deal with it so pragmatically! She's impressed ...]

Your world seems to hold more spiritual danger than mine. I am mostly accustomed to an enemy I can fight with steel.

All races tend to mingle in Gainos, for better or worse. We did have to chase her off, but once she saw us resist, she didn't return and we revived the land and went on with our lives.

Showing it doesn't devastate you completely seems to get a strong message across.

A ghost is considered a race on your world?

They're written as separate entities from the dead risen again and demons, as they all have differing powers and appearances, though all three of them tend to band together to cause mischief.

How interesting. I'd always thought as ghosts as souls trapped on the mortal plane, and therefore the same as the race from which it came.

Your world sounds very dangerous.

The way souls and such are manipulated there are vast and complicated to the point some are born already ghosts and are their own race and people.

It is; if it's not one problem, it seems to be another. In my age I've seen people constantly fight over something. It's as if they can't live without conflict.

Born ghosts? Light ... how horrible.

On Azeroth, it is not uncommon for the younger races to go their entire lives not knowing anything but conflict. I have known years without war, but conflict between my people and the neighboring trolls is ever present. [Not to mention all the wars that happened after her time, but ... she hasn't experienced those so she kind of feels like she has no room to talk about them!]

The world at large had that tournament I mentioned every four years, which sparked a lot of combat. In between the times, they'd all have to train, and the races would mingle and fight each other, or the local dukes would try to steal territory from each other.

Territorial disputes are not uncommon between the humans, as far as I know. My own people tend to keep to ourselves. It was only in the past few years, during our most recent war, that we allowed ourselves to mingle freely with the other races again.

We cut ourselves off after a band of humans tried to enslave us long ago. The elders have since blamed all humankind and sealed us off for the most part, going so far as to even blame half elves for it.

It was so long ago that I wish they would stop. There's no need to judge a while based on a bad few. Why not rate them based on their merits and deeds?

It can take some a very long time to forget old grudges. The Quel'dorei have been battling the trolls for land for centuries. Things like this do not simply change overnight.

But you do seem to have a good head on your shoulders. If more of your people were like you, truly you would be able to change their ways.
