Poison Is a Woman's Weapon

WHO: Lucrezia
WHERE: The Inn
WHEN: 7/15
OPEN TO: All
WARNINGS: None



Despite her misgivings, she had ventured into the woods, keeping close to the path. There were a number of plants she recognized, many that knew there were uses for but couldn't quite remember. There had been a book in the Vatican that mentioned herbs and plants, as well as their medicinal uses, but she hadn't had the chance to study it or begin her own experiments, as she wished. But now...now there was time, even without the book.

Spreading out the leaves, roots and berries over one of the tables, she sniffed and inspected the plants studiously. There had been a few pieces of paper in the schoolhouse. Using a bit of charred wood, she sketched the plants to the best of her abilities. It was messy work, but she would at least have a record of what she collected.

A few were easy to guess, aloe, lavender, rosemary, but so many others were a mystery to her. But they were beautiful and delicate, entrancing her in her work. Someone took the seat across from her, stirring her from her thoughts as her blue eyes shot up in surprise. "Oh! Forgive me, I didn't see you."

"Only as far as you're comfortable," Beverly assures her. If she'd had a phaser to hold with her, she would also be more likely to want to dig deeper into the forest than she has so far, so she can understand Lucrezia's hesitance. Especially in a place like this, where things can change in an instant.

"You might. I found a whole box of them once. It's entirely possible that there might be more someday."

"I'll admit I don't have much experience with blades, either, beyond kitchen use. But conflict... unfortunately yes." They use stunning technology in Starfleet. There's much less risk of accidental death and far less damage done to anyone they're trying to subdue.

"I'd like that," she agrees with a smile. "Maybe sometime in the early evening or late afternoon?" She can guarantee she'll be around the house then.
