Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
"Are you saying I have a masculine enough body to have fooled you?" The laughter that dances in her expression is more than enough to communicate to the man that even if it had, she's far from offended. Years of gardening and low nutritional crops will do that to you unfortunately. His explanation only dampens that mirth, becoming far more empathetic. "Well, the good news is it appears you're still ex-free for the moment." The bad news has already been covered, what with the whole cornering a woman in an alleyway business.
Luckily he joins her, and with his much longer legs Evie doesn't even bother slowing down for him to catch up. "Then it's perfect repayment," she flings back, surety hiding any remaining nerves as they stride through the stalls and crowds together. At least they seem to part more naturally around her with Nate at her side, and she absolutely will use the man's imposing height to her advantage in this scenario. "I'm looking for reproducible or transplantable material, so flora-based would be best. First hand growers accounts, maybe a local identification index." In the Grounds there are many plants that have poisonous counterparts, but which look quite alike. Any prepared information ahead of time would give her a leg up in including them for research.
'Doctor' snags her attention anew, and her fiery locks sway as she turns to look up at him. "Doctor? I'm Evie, I've been running the apothecary in the Grounds half my life. Now I'm temporarily the Assistant Grand Healer in Halo, though, and starting a greenhouse. That's why I'm looking for information." If that at all helps guide him on where to find such sources.
