Tal didn't know much about any fancy science, but he would remind Mateo to put some respect on Petunia's name. She wasn't just any walking palm. She was Queen Petunia I, first of her name and her kind, and way cooler than any dumb grass. It was completely different!
But since he was already crouching down, and since the stranger seemed to like the weird grass, Tal figured it couldn't hurt to pull away some of the weeds that were trying to crowd the little clumps out.
Mateo's correction was met with a roll of the courier's eyes but an agreeable nod. "Yeah, that's r--wait, what? He..." Oh yeah. Finn had mentioned something about a kid back during his short-lived stay in Halo. Tal wrinkled his nose. "Huh. Thought his kid was younger. Unless he's got more." With a shrug he pulled another tenacious little nettle and tried to figure out where the hail this guy knew him from.
"Mm. Doin' the job, mostly. Dunno what's in the package. It's none o' my business." Discretion was part of the job, too, after all. "What about you? Who're you visitin' in the Greatwood?" ...Out here on the riverbank in the middle of nowhere.
