She extends two of her claws. In one is a datapad, and in the other is a small metal cylinder about eight inches long and three inches in diameter.

"Oh, hello there. Thank you for the -what did Tam call it?- datapad! You're very quiet when you move, you know? It's kinda cool, reminds me of a friend back home."

After a bit of experimentation with the datapad, Ryo figures out how to write down information and even take pictures. He'd get Tamrin to put them on his datapad so he could give Bek'kaar's back when they left.

Mornin' all.

Two missing posts now, and my first post disappeared when I got booted off. Hmmm.... :(

"Data....is already on...the pad," Bek'kaar says as Ryo is fiddling around with the device. "Seed...is in the pod. Bring back...new seed."

Morning everyone. Avoided a rather boring part of the day accidently, but I wasn't need there anyway so it's all good.

Ryo passes the time looking at the various plants, doing his best to memorize shape, color, height, anything Addy would ask him about. Maybe he should sneak h ome when they went back? Try to write some of it down before Addy found him would be a good idea...

Aananda and Ryleh see a large, red insectoid head rise up from over some bushes, staring at you all with its large, expressionless black eyes. Two antennae on its head twitch, then lowe to either side of the things head, almost as if they were drooping.

"He lives...but he had...no seed...to offer me," it says in broken Common as its mandibles do their best to shape the words.

The creature's mandibles clack together in rapid succession several times - the only thing on its body moving at the moment. Then, without warning, it suddenly turns to walk down one of the paths, nodding at you as it does so.

Not sure what to do, Ryo follows, stopping occasionally to look at a tree or sniff a flower.

"Adsila would love it here. I wonder if I could get a few seeds to bring back to her?"

"What seed...do you offer...for them?" the insect says in broken Common while inspecting the trunk of a sapling just off the path.

"Um.... are you Bek'kaar? Tamrin Sunwake said I could find a druid by that name here. I didn't want to risk the Observation Deck, and he asked if I'd like to come here instead."

He glances around, obviously interested in the new plant life he's seeing.

"This place is amazing."

"Umm, excuse me, but I was told it would be okay to come here. I'm Ryo Antairus..."

Ryo's words trail off as one of the biggest bugs he's ever seen emerges from the foliage. It looks like a man sized version of a praying mantis (though still a foot or more taller than Ryo), with a red carapace.

While it only has two legs, it has four segmented arms, each ending in wicked looking claws.

Black, unreadable eyes stare into his as it stands over him.
