Sephos hadn't been down to Four Fronds in a long, long time. It was a very rare occasion that saw him outside of his forest home these days. He was busy with taking care of Maku - who was still dormant and recovering - and taking care of the forest and his garden, and he had little desire to enter the resort town besides. Or any town, for that matter. When he needed supplies, he could often ask Rastin for help in getting it. When he was lonely, there was always Rastin and other trolls in the area besides. Everything else, the forest provided. The forest was home.
However, this time he had products for trade that he couldn't very well ask Rastin to do. For one thing, he knew he shouldn't impose on Rastin too much - Ras had his own things to do. And the other side... some things had to be done himself.
Sephos stood by his stall, the smells of the whole large wagon-ful of cut flowers and fresh herbs floating around him. After so long in the woods, mostly alone, seeing so many trolls in one place was strange. He'd rather not be around them and their... technology... but he needed beetles and items, so he had to handle it. He had only really just begun selling and trading for the night, but, as he fidgeted with the bouquet wrappings, he couldn't wait to leave...

"They are." Sephos nodded in agreement. Flowers were beautiful, and these were an especially lovely batch.
He smoothed out the wrapping, hoping that it wasn't so wrinkled that he'd have to toss it out (such a waste) and stood. "Yeah." he said gruffly, voice rough from the compounding factors of lack of use and puberty, "Got a few of 'em." the young greenblood began to sort through his flowers, picking out the pink ones he'd separated out, "Some light, some darkish..." he laid them on the table as he found them, the care he took at odds with his brusqueness. "It's a good color." he added. Well, they all were.
He set out a nice selection, studying the customer slightly beneath his bangs. He knew this greenblood, in contexts relating to Busthind and... Panili? Huh.

"You want those wrapped up?" Sephos brandished (or offered, the latter being the intent) some bouquet wrappers, "Helps keep the stems safe."
"Since, uh..." Sephos hesitated, "... the Space Tower...? he asked, just to be sure. Yeah - he'd definitely seen this troll at Panili's place in Busthind, and he remembered his voice from the walkie-talkies. Him and... some other greenblood. It took him a while to remember the name of the place, forever emblazoned in his mind as 'that place with the robots' and 'hell'. But it was definitely the Space Tower.
"I've been okay. Here." he said simply, "A lot of gardening."
Sephos moved to his herbs selection. "Herbs - I gather 'em wild in the forest and I grow some in my greenhouse." He set out herbs, tied together into units. "Mint, nasturtums, parsley, oregano, sage, Summer Savory, sorrel, tarragon... he brought out a few others, "Agrimony - makes a medicine tonic for colds, fevers... other stuff... May apple, poisonous but can be used in medicine. Fruit's ripe, so you can eat the flesh of it. It's not bad. Angelica, can help with the, uh, the things that make wounds go all red and not good. Good on broken bones and swellings, too. Blackberry..." He stopped before he explained it's medicinal use, and that he had berries as well (they were in full view), distracted by a parcel of fuzzy silver and purple flowers. In a rare example of caring what the other troll percieved, Sephos took one of themand held one of them out for him to smell. "Lavender." he said, lips twitching in a possibly smile-like way arond his jutting teeth, "Real nice."

"I grow 'um." he said, as if that explained it. "Got a nursery." It was fun to grow all of those plants, seeing which ones grew better in which soils, and how long they took to germinate. Sephos would never have considered it science, and certainly had no data or anything of the sort, but it was rewardng to do.
Sephos listed a price that sounded fair to him. He preferred to barter, but beetles were always a good go-between, and it made sense. "Have some tea blends. And theres spices that dissolve real well." Rastin had taught him so much about teas, more than he'd known before. It was a little amazing that one could blend so many plants together to make one, really nice taste. "If you use this one, here, you'd have to take it out before you drink. Like tea." he said, "It's got a sort of, uh..." Sephos hesitated, "... it's a taste. Bitter. Spicy. Sweet." Tastes were hard. However, he thought it could work in some sort of hot beverage like tea, or maybe coffee? Coffee beans didn't like growing in the nursery and his part of the forest wasn't really their... cup of coffee? But he knew about them.
"Smoothie?" Sephos handed him the wrapped up bouquet, "What's that?" It sounded strange, but it made him think of soft cotton, or a handful of clumped-together milkweed seeds.
