An abandoned garden stumbled upon by Alystin Dalael, the Drow apothecary quickly converted what wasn't usable into her own private garden. This is where she grows most of her stock, behind protected walls and nestled up against the far-flung forest. Much of her time is spent here, when she's not at her shop.

Out from the shadow of the wall stepped Crow. He looked around at the little garden. It was a rather nice one, a variety of useful flowers and herbs on display. He walks at a sedate pace through the garden. He seems unconcerned that he is an intruder here. He reaches out a hand and delicately trace the petals of the flowers. He waits for the gardener to make her appearance. Likely it would take some smoothing over to excuse his intrusion, but he was good at that.

Crow wouldn't have to wander for long before he stumbled across the garden's occupants. Or, well, one of them, anyway. A Drow toddler clad in a pale blue dress came tearing around a tree, laughing merrily, and nearly crashed into his legs. Little Elianara came to a stop, staring up at the tall man with wide silvery eyes, then began to babble happily up at him. Whatever she was saying was unintelligible, but she was clearly excited about it. After a few moments of this, her mother appeared, her white hair bound in a braid and wearing a grey dress. She stopped dead at seeing Crow, her teal eyes rounding in surprise, before she offered him a small smile. "Hello, sir. I'm sorry, did Eli bother you? Eli, come to Mama."
Perhaps strangely, the short Drow woman didn't seem at all concerned by the man's appearance in her garden. It wasn't exactly a hidden place, after all, just rather out of the way and not terribly easy to find. As she crouched down and extended her hands to the toddler, Eli shook her head and said the only word she knew - 'No!' Then she proceeded to stay right where she was. She even waddled closer to Crow and reached out, taking a hold of his pant leg with one chubby hand and babbling happily up at him again. Clearly, the toddler liked him. Even more clearly, Alystin was embarrassed by the child's lack of cooperation, giving him an abashed smile. "I'm so sorry, she's apparently decided her new favorite thing to be is stubborn."

Crow is a little surprised the woman is taking this so well. Even if she did not own the garden officially, he had assumed she would be more possessive. Well it made things easier. When the child grabs his pant leg he looks down at it curiously. He did not have a great deal of experience with tiny people. More accurately he had no experience with tiny people. He wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do. He gives Alystin and uncertain smile.
"It is quite alright madame."
He then looks down at the little person holding his pant leg.
"Uhm... Eli is it? Should you not listen to your mother?

When Crow looked down at her, Eli looked up at him, and beamed a smile. Then she said her favorite word again: 'No!' Alystin blurted a laugh and stood, then moved over and swept the child up in her arms. Forestalling the inevitable tantrum by tickling her little sides, Eli began to squirm and giggle as Alystin stepped away from him, not wanting to invade his personal space any longer than necessary. "Thank you for being so understanding. What brings you to my garden?"
The look she shot him was more curious than anything as she propped the little girl on her hip. Producing a large piece of candy from her pocket, she removed the protective wrapper - all one-handed - and gave it to the child. Eli squealed happily and then began to chew on it, while Alystin turned her attention fully on Crow. The girl would be distracted for a little while, at least, so she could figure out what this tall, crazy pretty man was doing in her garden.

Crow blinked in surprise at the little girl. He had not expected her to say no. Fortunately her mother scooped her up. While he hadn't been particularly bothered by the child, he had been confused. Still the child had been... He believed the word was cute. So for a first encounter with a little person he decided it was good one. He waits for the mother to tend her child and then the expected question comes.
"One of my birds told me about this garden. I was advised there were quite a number of useful herbs within. I came seeking the gardener to set up a deal. I'd like to procure a steady supply of herbs. I also have a few rare seeds I'd like to see cultivated. So I'd like to talk business."

One of his birds? That made the dark-skinned woman arch a snowy brow in curiosity. Interesting. Nothing was said, however, as she bounced and swayed to keep Eli quiet, and listened to him. Nodding thoughtfully as he explained why he was there, he was in need of herbs and wanted her to cultivate some plants of his. "Well, sir, I'd be happy to work something out with you. I usually sell my herbs in small quantities, five silver per one hundred grams of the common items, and one gold per hundred grams of the rare items - but if you're buying in bulk, we can work out a discounted rate. As for the seeds, I'd need to know more about the plants they'll grow into before I decide anything. Even more importantly..."
She shifted Eli where the toddler was perched on her hip, and gave him a wide smile. "I really prefer to know who I'm talking to before agreeing to do business. I'm Alystin Dalael. And you are?" She took a half-step back, and once she had his name, tilted her head slightly. "If you wouldn't mind coming with me so I can get back to what I was doing, I'll be happy to talk business with you." She wasn't out here just for fun, after all. There was a garden to tend and plants to harvest!

"Most people call me Crow. It is not my name, but then again I do not have one. Only a tittle."
He wonders way he always feels the need to explain that. It would probably be easier just to say his name was Crow. Still that didn't seem quite right. He nods his assent to follow her. As they go he pulls out a seed pouch and a little note book. Once she is settled he finds a convenient rock and sits down.
"I require a few things with regularity. Nightshade, Wolfs bane, Hemlock, Fox glove, and Elderberry. All parts of the plants in bulk every three months. Say twenty pounds of each. I also have a set of seeds I need grown. I have growing instructions and the seeds here. Night Mandrake, Blood Lotus, and Infernal blossom. Each of these plants are quite deadly if handled improperly. If you are not comfortable cultivating them I would understand."

"Well then, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Crow." She led the way to a small area where there was a basket set up, half-filled with plants that were being harvested; small rows of freshly-turned soil were awaiting new seeds. Setting Elianara down in a secure swing hanging from a sturdy tree branch and giving her a small push to set it swaying, Alystin returned to what she was doing, listening as he spoke. With every word that came out of his mouth, she grew more and more concerned. All of those plants were poisons.. and the three he mentioned didn't sound good, either, although she was unfamiliar with them. After a few moments, she sat back and gave him a mildly concerned look.
"Mister Crow, I know it's really none of my business, but given I know what all of the plants you named are commonly used for, I feel I must express my concern. I wouldn't be at all comfortable selling these herbs to you if you plan to use them to kill people - or growing the three you've requested if they have the same intent." Despite the fact that she was being extremely polite, she was also extremely serious; there would be no budging her on this.

Crow cocks and eyebrow at Alystin. He seems more confused by her question then offended. He grips the head of his cane and has a quick silent communication.
Killing people with plants?
It's not uncommon, they are poisonous to mortals.
Oh right, forgot about that.
I wonder why she cares?
Morality Fisher, she doesn't want what she makes to be involved in murder.
That is just silly. It's like a blacksmith worrying about someone using a sword to kill people.
Yes well she isn't a blacksmith, she is a gardener.
Oh tsh, the only difference between a poison and a medicine is dosage.
Plants can be used as medicine?
Crow realizes he is getting sidetracked. He turns attention back to Alystin. What had she asked? Oh right what the plants were for.
"No I won't be using them to kill people. Mostly just various spells and potions to facilitate communication with spirits. These plants have an affinity for such work. I suppose it's due to their poisonous attributes. Hmmm never really ponder the logic but it makes sense. Killed by a plant... mortals really are fragile."

Alystin arched a brow and looked at him curiously as he.. seemed to be thinking very hard? Well at least he wasn't talking to himself. When he finally responded, something in her expression and demeanor eased visibly, and she smiled, then nodded slightly. Although she did look more than a little puzzled at his comment about 'mortals'. He looked perfectly human to her - if a bit inhumanly pretty - so she had to wonder if he was more than he appeared? Ah well, it wasn't her business. She was just a simple Drow shopkeeper, it was none of her business! "Very well. In that case, since most of those are fairly common, I can give you a bargain of seven gold per hundred grams of product. As for the items you want me to plant, I can examine them and figure out if I'll even be able to cultivate the plants, and then I'll determine a fee depending upon how difficult they are to tend."

Crow did some quick mental calculations. Twenty pounds was roughly nine kilograms. At seven gold for every hundred grams and with five items... six hundred and thirty every three months for his order. That was acceptable given his current intake. When she mentions needing to know the details of growing the plants; he offers the note book to her.
"Everything you need to know is in there. Nothing too complicated, the plants just require exceptional care in tending. I'd recommend some kind of fenced off area. Given that little Eli is around, I can also provide some wards to make sure she doesn't enter accidentally."
The instructions are fairly mundane with only some specialty work required. The blood lotus would require, well blood though animal blood could be easily acquire from a butcher. The Night Mandrake needed to be kept away from strong light. The Fire Blossom was exceptionally vulnerable to cold.

Reaching out to take the notebook, Alystin flipped through it, her eyes moving rapidly across the words. She had an excellent memory, especially when it came to things she'd read in books, so all the information was quickly absorbed and tucked away in her mind. Then she handed it back to him and stood. "Wards would be appreciated. I don't have much magical talent myself, and wards are definitely outside the boundaries of my capabilities. I think I know the perfect spot, so if you wouldn't mind coming with me, we can go ahead and get it prepared, and I'll get them planted immediately."
Moving over to Eli, she plucked the girl out of the swing and propped her on her hip, then moved away from the area. They passed a small natural spring (clearly how she kept the whole place watered), and moved to a more secluded area of the garden. It was halfway walled into its own area, complete with an iron gate that creaked as she pushed it open; she would probably put a lock on it at some point to keep Eli out. There was a deep alcove tucked off to one side that would be perfect for the Night Mandrake. "It's a bit overgrown, but I can clear it out easily enough and get everything planted. I figure I'll put the Night Mandrake in that alcove away from the sun, and I'll arrange everything else as needed depending upon their soil requirements and watering needs. Simple stuff." She clearly knew what she was doing.

Crow nods in approval of the spot. He was no expert, but it looked quite adequate to the instructions he wrote down. He removes the head of his cane and it turns to the mask of The Fisher King. Placing it upon his head he increases in height and the cloak of black feathers appears. The wards Crow could provide were powerful defensiveness ones. Still that seemed like a mistake when the goal was keeping a child out. The Fisher King though, he could provide more gentle wards.
The Fisher King rests his cane on the ground both hands on top of it. He channels energy and shadowy tentacles emerge from the ground. The shadows wrap around the gate and wall. Within minutes the gate and wall gleam like new. Runes are etched into the iron, they seem to radiate darkness briefly before fading. The nightmare offers Alystin a wrought iron key. His voice comes out, this time he mimics Crows soft spoken cultured tones. He doesn't want to put Alystin or her child off too much.
"There you are, gentle perception wards. Little Eli will find herself unable to focus on the gate. Her eyes will just slip past whenever she gets close. So will yours if you don't have this key. I'd recommend being very careful with it."
With that Crow removes the mask and secures it back to his cane. He then says calmly.
"So all that is left is the cost of you tending these plants. Then I will take my leave. As I said I need twenty pounds of each every three months. This will be the spot you can leave them and I will leave coin when I collect."

Alystin Dalael
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 163
Age: 68
Physical Description: As with most of the Drowish people, Alystin is very short of stature, and as a result, she is a minuscule 5'. Characteristic of the dark Elves, she has dark-colored skin, a very deep shade of grey that is nearly black, and her hair is pure white, falling to her shoulders. Her eyes are very expressive, and are a bright shade of aqua. She has a delicate bone structure and pointed ears.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Most often, Alystin wears simple dresses of plain wool, in varying shades of blue, grey, and green. She has a couple of finer ones made of silk, but those are kept for exceptionally special occasions. Generally, there are a few items usually to be found on her person, consisting of a worn brown leather satchel that contains several items. Among these items are a book of handwritten notes, an inkwell and collection of quills, and a leather bag with separate compartments, in which she usually keeps various kinds of plants and herbs.

The sudden change in Crow as he donned that mask made her eyes widen, and she instinctively pressed Eli's face into her shoulder, so the child wouldn't be frightened by the sight of the shadowy tendrils. Awed by the easy display of magic, she reached out and took the offered key. "..Goodness. That was.. well then. I thank you." She tucked the key into her pocket and gave him a slightly uneasy smile. This man had such power. It was almost frightening. "Of course. Every three months. I'll be sure to have everything ready by then. If you have those seeds on you, I'll go ahead and start preparing this area for cultivation immediately, and get them planted as soon as it's fully ready."

Sylaerin the Dreamer
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 157
Age: Ageless and eternal.
Physical Description: The ethereal woman known only as Sylaerin is of average height, at an even 5'4", but that is the only thing average about her. She has a delicately formed bone structure that lends itself to a slender build, combined with lean curves that give her an appearance just shy of willowy. She has the gracefully pointed ears of an Elf, and her skin has the faintest purplish glitter to it that is most noticeable in the moonlight. Her hair is long, falling to her ankles when left loose, and is shifting shades of iridescent violet. Her eyes, which are normally a pale shade of lilac, occasionally glow a vivid and alluring electric blue. She has violet markings around her eyes and at various spots across her body that give her an exotic appeal.
--------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: What she wears tends to change at random, apparently with no more than a conscious thought, but her garb tends toward dresses comprised of filmy material in shades of purple and blue with silver accents, that often bares her shoulders and portions of her black, and displays her cleavage to a small degree. She carries no weaponry or any items aside from her jewelry, which appears to either be enchanted or help her channel her own magics. These consist of a pair of silver crescent moon-shaped earrings, a circlet of woven silver that curves around the back of her head and onto her brow, and a torque of woven silver that rests around her neck. There is also a small silver stud piercing in her right nostril, although that appears to be wholly cosmetic.

From the plains outside the walled garden, anyone with magical perception would be able to feel a sudden surge of powerful, intense magic, writhing and roiling in the near distance. Should one happen to look above the tall stone barrier encasing this little slice of paradise, they'd see a flickering, twirling pillar of purple, blue, and silver light spinning up into the sky. Then it would slowly fade and disappear, leaving behind only a weakening magical field somewhere to the west of the garden - not quite toward the city, but in that direction.

Crow cocks his head when the he senses the surge. Curious he casts his eyes in that direction, interesting... and did Alystin want? Oh yes! Business first, curiosity second. He produces the seed pouch and passes it to the drow.
"There you are Alystin and thank you for your help. It was a pleasure to meet you and Eli. Now I should be going."
With that Crow exits the garden to investigate the pillar of light.

Alystin's magical sense was very small, just like her ability with healing magics, so she felt a slight tingle, but dismissed it. Taking the pouch from Crow, she smiled up at him. "Pleasure doing business with you, Mister Crow. Have a nice day." Back to work for her!

Something was prowling about the wall that enclosed the garden on the other side. It wasn't particularly malicious, but the size and creature built would be enough to cause alarm at a glance.
But it was simply sniffing about the earth where the wall was based - looking for the source of the smell. Finally the tiger stopped and lifted his head up to see how high the wall extended to the sky. It was pretty high - making climbing as a human very difficult. But with a crouch and a leap, the animal found reaching the top easier since he was a bigger build than most tigers. As he got sight of the flourishing wildlife within the wall's boundaries his ears perked up, eyes widening to perfectly curious orbs. A soft rumble of a growl, akin to a purr, sounded from him, and he took care to lower himself partially down the wall on his forepaws before leaping down inside the enclosure.
It didn't even occur to him this might be a claimed area. Unlike his powerhouse, battle hungry, older brother, Sunil was always eager to learn about medicine from what nature provided. Here... there were so many scents and colors, so many plants and flowers. It made him a little giddy, and he began to carefully tread around and nose at the different flora - occasionally shaking his head and sneezing from the scents. It was alot to take in.

Alystin was entirely unaware that her garden had been infiltrated - but little Elianara, who had received some of her father's magical aptitude, although both she and her mother were entirely unaware of it. It was this which let the Drow toddler know that she and her mother were no longer alone. Having been playing with a ball while her mother worked, the little one suddenly dropped it and went running off into the garden as fast as her chubby little legs could carry her, arms stretched before her and a grin on her little face as she giggled. Alystin sighed, and began to walk after her, not realizing why her excitable daughter had taken off.
Elianara, meanwhile, went tearing through the various pathways, making a mostly direct path for the tiger shifter that had entered the garden. Abruptly, she happened upon him, and came to a stop, blinking big silver eyes up at the giant tiger. She probably should've been afraid.. but instead, she simply squealed excitedly, uttering a sound that was probably supposed to be an attempt at a word. "Kiki!" Was she trying to say kitty..? That was Alystin's thought as she followed the sound of her daughter's voice. She hadn't happened upon the scene yet, but she was wondering if a cat from one of the nearby farmsteads had managed to find its way into her garden.
