A scene

The blue flower growing in the jungles of Pauk has never been described in any book the sorcerer Rana owns. She kneels a stride away from it and simply watches it for a full minute: the curl of the petals, the fine hairs on the leaves, the way the insects avoid it. Then the knowledge settles in her mind as neatly as a ledger entry. It is a sleep herb, very powerful, with a small magical virtue of its own. She wraps her hands in cloth before picking it, and begins to calculate what an alchemist will pay.
