Not just a fighter, not just a dreamer
Amazing creator, relentless believer
In who I am and what I got inside

Seren looked up as Maeve came rushing towards her. A strange calm was settling over her, anxiety a long way away as she smiled at her friend.
"It's alright, I haven't touched it yet," she soothed her friend. "The scent is only dangerous when the plant has been damaged." Though her calm could also be some side-effect of the pollen; she wasn't entirely sure. Her heart beat steady however, and Seren took that as a good sign.
Reaching into her pocket space, she began to haul out a number of tools. A big glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, gloves, a cloth to wrap around her face and a shovel.
"I have two ideas for how to do this," she explained as she began to pull on the safety garments. "Either, I try to dig up the entire flower without damaging any part of it. It's a bit bigger than I expected, but it should still fit into the jar." There were smaller specimens nearby too, so it was a viable option. The dangerous part lay in her lack of knowledge on how the roots spread out; Seren suspected that even a root thread being disrupted might trigger the soporific qualities of the fragrance.
"The other way, would be for me to stay at a distance, and send in summoned creatures to work for me. Monkeys, specifically; you know those clever-fingered ones from the jungles around Apopo? They can pick the flower, then place it in the jar, seal it, and then we can simply wait until it is safe to approach before I tuck it away ono the island. I can send in any number of them, though it feels a bit... macabre to have them do this.
There are risks with both options; do you have a preference?"
Pulling on her gloves, Seren looked up at Maeve to get her opinion. In either scenario, she really hoped the Madame would have sense to stay back and act as the rescue, in case something went wrong.
