Absolutely. If you want, I can go with you. Although, not being a tea expert, I'm not sure how much help I'd be.

I would welcome your company! Facing the unknown is rather daunting even if I will only encounter plants.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Right. True. [And now he's wondering if he should be worried about aggressive plants.]

Tell me where you are and I'll come meet you.

{It's a possibility! Yao isn't terribly worried about dying. He has seen others come back, which is almost a shame.}

I'm in the greenhouse.

[Nick's died before but he doesn't want to die being eaten by a plant. That's too embarrassing...though he's no stranger to embarrassment either.]

Hang tight. I'll come to you.

[Several minutes later, Nick enters the greenhouse.] Ready to go?

{That's the funny thing about mortality - it is often embarrassing. Yao looks up from the empty basket he is borrowing for the trip. The plants need a place to rest and he would rather not put any in his pockets.}

Yes, I am.

{He is a small but immaculately clean man dressed in ornate robes. Well. Most of his ornate robes. Right now, he is only wearing his under-robes in case the alien world is hot.}

Are you armed?
