Another found. Another tracer set and adhered. Did not return to river. Walked deeper into forest. Would return soon. Check frequently for Morticia. Had to continue. Spanish Nut search required. Walked through the forest. Not dense, would not be difficult to maintain sense of direction. Sought out more Spanish Nut. Examined tree trunks, bark very telling. If bark acceptable, checked foliage. Spanish nut possesses very telling leaves. The nuts were final tell, if all matched within acceptable parameters could be called success. Had good luck so far. Had to hold out. Thirty seven left to find and mark for sale.

Fourth found and tagged with tracer. Took a turn back, checked the river for Morticia. Not here yet, back to the search. Returned to the forest and began to look. Brought out the tracker and turned on. Made sure the Tracers were operational and referenced the locations. Looked for commonalities. Recalled the surroundings. Began to search for similar conditions. Creatures had spread the seeds well. Walked through the trees, doing the usual examinations. Needed more. Sought more Spanish Nut trees, further funding. Continued walking through the forest, looking around for more. Was getting worried about Morticia in my search as well. Late. More so than usual.

Another tree located. Tracer prepared and adhered as with all the others. Took a moment to return to the river and walk the banks for Morticia. Perhaps I would return soon to check on her. Later. For now, continued along the riverbank again. Still lots of trees in the area, could have missed one. Examined each one again. Compared barks. Foliage. Nuts. Compared. Cross referenced. Each one needed to be within the proper parameters for the tree to be counted among the Spanish Nut. Slow progressing, but each tree required proper examination. Only way to be certain. Would have to teach Morticia. Extra pair of eyes would be optimal.

One more tree. Tracer set and stuck within a nook in the trunk. Time to keep searching. Walked away from the river again, would return shortly. Had to find one more before checking in. Still kept within relative distance as eyes roved. Compared barks of each tree. Recent acquisitions provided excellent reference. If match was adequately close, moved to foliage. If foliage similar enough, moved to examine nuts. All three factors would need to within acceptable parameters. Had to find more. Research essential. Continued my search, forest tranquil. Would return another time, peaceful meditation rather than searching.

"Dammit!... Ouch.." The sounds of lumbering shouts could be heard as a hooded figure would make their way through the forest, accidently knocking over fully grown trees in to process. The figure soon found itself on the river bed and turned to face Mordin. Their features were hidden beneath the hood on their head, but a familiar presences would pop out of the zipped cloak. The tiny white puff ball that would merged, began to bark at Mordin incredulously. "Sorry, I'm late." A delicate voice would emerge from the hood, "My mask broke... and i got nervous about coming out... here." The The little dog would continue to bark at Mordin annoyed, and Morticia would say, "Stormy says your directions were shite. So he had to sniff you out. But I think I may have just read the directions wrong... I'm sorry." Her hooded head would hang as she apologized for her tardiness.

Ah, excellent, finally arrived. The reasons were given, predicted and reasonable. Took too long, though. Oh well, the child was as she was. "No worries, expected as much. Did notice the mask was broken as well, made a new one, brought it with me." While speaking I pulled the Gas Mask from my messenger bag and offered it up to her. "Today we will be looking for Spanish Nut Trees. Haven't covered botany with you, will be going over it while we look." Yes, there would be lessons during this time. She still had much to learn, as did I. "My map possibly in error, cartography skills were never exceptional. Will have to work on that."

[Deleted]

"Oh Thank God... Thank you." She would say as she took the Mask Gas and and would quickly put it on. She sighed with relief, and took several deep breath to test it out. She would nod her head at Mordin as he began to explain what it was that the two of them were going to be doing today. She looked down at Stormy, and his little gas mask, she looked up at Mordin and asked, "Can Stormy help? I'm sure his noise could sniff out some of these Spanish Nuts right? Or do they not have a distinguishing smell?" She would ask confused as Mordin had already said she had not learned any Botany from him yet.

Had left the samples behind. No issue, trees not difficult to find. "Yes, could be of use. Will have to find one of the trees for a sample." Beckoned her on as I started walking again. She should be able to grasp the plant quickly. Help to search very soon. Explained as I walked and looked. "Spanish Nut, easily distinguished by the shade of the bark, similar to mahogany, leaves broad, four points." Explaining the basics as I searched. She would see an example soon. "Scent different for canines. Olfactory much more sensitive. Receptor differences create greater sense of smell. Also slightly different." Tapped chin for a moment. "Would liken it to fresh baked almonds and walnuts."
