ps the plants are not edible

do not eat

or cook

it is bad

and it is worse for men and elves because it is bad for me

[tl;dr: Melius tried to taste test the weird plants. It did not go well.]

shoved them right in your mouth, did you?

[fusrodaaaah]

yes ?

that is how i learn what they can do
if i dont know what they are already

[givetheslip]

that's a good way to get poisoned.

[fusrodaaaah]

poison does not hurt me

not until this time
i am argonian
we do not get poisoned by most things

[givetheslip]

"most things" is rather a key part of that sentence

[fusrodaaaah]

this is the first time it has happened...

[givetheslip]

hopefully the last.
but probably not if you keep exploring mouth-first.

[fusrodaaaah]

but


that is how i learn
and how alchemists learn

[givetheslip]

surely there are other ways to learn.
more informative ways.
less toxic ways.

[fusrodaaaah]

poison does not hurt me

even here

this is the first time it has ever hurt

[givetheslip]

i'm simply pointing out that something happening for a first time inevitably makes it more likely that there will be a second time.
though even the first time didn't kill you so perhaps the investigation was worth it.

[fusrodaaaah]

ok
im sorry

[givetheslip]

[Now she feels kind of bad. Not that she wants to admit that.]

no, don't be.
regardless of the wisdom of your test, it's good to know as much as we can about these things.
thank you for alerting us.
i hope you'll recover quickly.

[fusrodaaaah]

i will be fine

thank you
