I was told they were in the dirt when harvested, but there were fresh petals on the ground.

[Nadine kicks herself for not asking how many flowers were in this condition, Hilda hadn't specified. Enough that she has a couple of them, at least.]

And thank you. If I could...I'd like to use one of those tents at the square for healers and medical staff. I have equipment I can lend that might honestly be more helpful in the hands of someone more experienced, like who maybe may have been able to learn more about those flowers than me. And it would probably be a good idea to make sure everybody knows basic field first aide, since we don't know what we're up against or what shape our missing will be in when we find them.

[There's no 'if' as far as she's concerned. They will be found and brought safely home.]

I have everything we'd need, I can set it up.
