After all, everything useful we know of, including pipeweed, came originally through the Númenoreans.
Well, I'm still a little undecided, but I decided to roll with it. We can also change that to turnips, and no great harm done.

Indeed - very easy to write a post when you can consult the other writer who sits across the table from you. So I went ahead and wrote something short. If Legate wants to write more dialogue with his very untalkative character , go on. If anybody wants to interrupt the slightly bizarre sight-seeing tour, feel free to. And if nothing special happens, I think we can leave the tour at that and Folwren and I can write Brith offering her services to Saeryn a bit later?
