Nal stands, and the floating disk which was hovering before her settles gently to the ground.

"As you know, Elder Thrush depends on me to communicate telepathically with Rangers in the field, but to do so effectively, I require the support of the most powerful spirits of this land. One of those, interestingly enough, is the spirit of the Verdessa. It shares a deep connection with the spirit of the Valley—like a mother to her child—and for some reason, I cannot reach it. It's very distressing.

"I've received word that a wandering botanist has recently returned from an excursion to the Verdessa, and that she's brought some rare plant specimens along with her. She is currently staying at the merchant's quarters in Kobo's Market. If I had one of these specimens, I may be able to use it to reconnect with the spirit of the Verdessa. Perhaps you could accompany me to the market? I would be very grateful."
