But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Thankfully, one of the men elected to join her, so she didn't have to listen to Poppy's incessant rambling. "I'm Rhiannon," she said, offering a hand to Vesper to shake. "Nice to meet you." They walked south for a ways, and Rhi snorted at Vesper's observation. "Tell me about it. She's pretty excited about these gourds, huh?" Rhi supposed that it was helpful to have those kinds of individuals about - the kind that would study things until they keeled over - but she was more of a doer. If she sat about talking about things all day, she'd never get anything done.
"We have some in Halo," she said as they strolled along. "The possessed ones are freaking people out. Some of our citizens are thinking they're Void-touched, even though there's no proof of that." It was why she'd decided to come along on this adventure in the first place. Maybe there was something she could learn and take back home.
They came upon a patch of what appeared to be normal gourds, lying in a field without moving. Rhi raised an eyebrow, hesitating to get too close lest they awaken and attack. "Well, this is interesting," she said, gesturing towards the gourds. "You reckon they're alive, or just... vegetables?"
Well, they couldn't go back empty-handed, so there had to be some way to check and see. Rhi bent to scoop up a rather large rock. "Maybe if I throw this into the patch, they'll wake up."

Rhi suggests throwing rocks at the gourds.
