"I swear to you that I have never met any of you before and I want all this stuff for personal use except the citrus varietals which are a present for my girlfriend," the Axis inhabitant says.

"The dinner is fine, the avocado is fine, the citrus varietals are fine."

"Is she in charge here for some reason?"

    "She gets to veto spending," says the cleric. 

"Okay. Can you do the dinner for two, and the citrus varietals and the avocado, and we'll call it even?"

"Yes, though if you don't have plant pots or dishes I will have to be creative."

"I'm gonna put them in my bag of holding, but if you can't make across a dimensional boundary then here's fine I guess."

He finds a list of citruses and sorts them by humidity tolerance. "The pots will do more good if I can also put dirt in them," he mentions to Carissa.

Permalink

"Sorry, I don't know what most of those are. In the next five minutes you can do peat moss."

Permalink

"Perlite and thermiculite are both naturally occurring minerals that wouldn't do you any harm unless you tried to breathe them."

"According to you!"
