Of a sort. I am known as a healing sword, after all.
[But sometimes that alone doesn't cut it, especially when you don't have your divinity and everything.]
...Given what I've heard of the situation so far, I thought it would be best to try to prepare-- although I fear it may not help as much as I would like.
I wouldn't be too worried. There may not be an infirmary in the temple, but I believe some of the others have plans to provide first aid in the future.
[It's not ideal, but it's something at least.]
Regardless, I think your effort are going to mean a lot to many people.
[Even if it's small, if it does anything for the others... then it's an improvement.]
And I will look forward to their aid, in that case, but I also meant to ask... do you believe anything might be done to assist in working with the plants here? Most of these require little effort to be useful, but at least one will take a bit more work than I am able to do with what we have.
I wouldn't be able to give you anything to work with right away, but I can absolutely make sure such materials are available for you to use when I'm hosting. Right now, I can only freely provide items that would logically be found within this study, and any other productions would only be allowed to be given directly in return for a favor. I'm sorry for all these complications.
[Piety sighs, shaking their head.]
In the meantime, you might be able to find a substitute pestle and mortar in the kitchen.
For now, the only favors I have to ask is to spread goodwill. You're already so kind, Ishikirimaru, I think it will be a natural task.
[Bringing the fingers of one hand up to their chin, Piety laughs slightly.]
It feels a bit like soliciting...I just want to spread the truth of my intentions. If you can convince anyone even just to hold an audience with me who might be otherwise reluctant, I'd consider that a great favor.
[They match each other well with their gentle brand of enthusiasm.]
I know for some, regardless of a willingness to listen, it will be difficult to even consider defecting. I can understand that feeling--loyalty is an admirable trait. So long as these choices are made with individuals who are fully informed, I'll feel much less heavy of heart.

I'm pleased you like them. I will admit, I wasn't quite expecting to find so many that had some use.
[or so many that had more negative uses... but he's mostly left those alone.]

[Piety's voice indicates a smile.]
Are you a botanist?

[It's worth looking into, at the very least.]

[He gives them a grateful nod, and then after a little pause:]
Ah, speaking of favors, though... I wanted to ask just what sorts of requests you anticipate making of us.

[More people should have the chance to hear them out, he thinks; of course he's somewhat biased, here, but still.]
I believe most people I've met wouldn't exactly be reluctant, but I will try to encourage them regardless.
