"I... I'm sorry" Lapwing whispers, holding his ears. Abashed, he skulks back out of the meadow.

"Tsk. Mortals." It feels like the entire meadow is staring at your for another second or so...and then the butterflies go back to feeding, fluttering.

"Pretty enough, I think my mother had a garden like this when I was little. Whenever that was." He shrugs, taking a swig of the canteen as well. "Would have been a lovely place to live, this. And what's this about penguins?"

Reaching into her pouch she pulled out the blueprints that Mrs. Aponi had given her. "Hey Sands," she called at the elemental, "I don't know the first thing about plants. Can you see any of this stuff here?" she showed him the blueprints. "I need sixteen buttercups, some nightcap and buglewort, and something called 'Sif's gold'."

You successfully unearth two samples of the dastardly similar goblin fruits (one hidden beneath a suspiciously shaped 'rock' and another sitting cozily out in the open...), though it will require much closer inspection to determine which is which - if, indeed, you have one of each at all.

Micah takes the fruit and brings them back to Corri. "This is nightcap. Buglewort looks similar. Take these two, and now you know what to look for, so later on you can find similar. However, we really don't have time for this, so if we can move on and you can come back later maybe...?"

Micah snorts. "Oh, I see. So you decided bringing him to a mystical realm that warps and mutates everything in it was a better idea?"
Studying the expression on the beast's face, he sighs, his face softening. "You didn't know, did you? Oh, boy... Hugo has a week, maybe two, before he completely transforms into a hedge beast. He won't be able to leave the Hedge, and there's a reasonably good chance the transformation will simply kill him."

"....what?"
Watson is perfectly still. His face doesn't move, not a muscle twitches.
"No, man, that's not right. Can't be..." But he's already sick. You know he is, you heard him...
Watson stares down at Hugo, seeing the beast look back up at him.
He snaps back to himself, focusing sharply on Micah.
"Is it reversible? Can it be stopped, can it be made so that he won't die?" Desperation rages in his voice, a quaver escaping his control.
