Isla's understanding was unexpectedly soothing, as was her gentle good humor. Hadama looked over at her, his expression serene but a look of silent appreciation in his eyes. Po-tah-to, indeed.

"Indeed," he rumbled his agreement to her diagnosis on their shortage of medical professionals. "You are appreciated. More than I can say."

The plants below looked green from above, but the healer's sharp eyes might note the flicker of shadowy wings moving around them. Void-touched insects flitted beneath the fronds that sprouted from the tops of the fruits, and here and there a glimmer of violet peeked through the leaves.
Hadama regarded the grove impassively before reaching to free his trident from his back. "Hmm. One fruit should be enough," he rumbled, tilting his head to see if Isla agreed or had other suggestions.
