first history lesson ◈ [ video ]
[ if anyone is paying attention, alaric happens to be in the oxygen garden, but unlike some people he's not even remotely smoking a single thing, instead he appears to have a bag of some plant (that to some might look like pot, but to those from his canon it's rather obvious that it's vervain). he rubs at his chin thoughtfully for a moment before he says anything. ]
This is actually the first time I've been on this part of the ship and I've been here since the first jump. It's probably because I never felt like planting anything, but now I actually feel like I should. It'll make the plants a bit more varied, I suppose. I have to ask though, has anyone else thought to plant anything?
Or am I just going to be the guy who plants something and if something manages to go wrong with the oxygen, I'm going to be blamed? [ a beat. ] For the record, I'm pretty sure it would be fine regardless, but preemptive asking and warning people never killed anyone.

Remember when I said we needed more vervain? Apparently there was a lot more in my locker after the latest jump. Enough to plant some and maybe make it so Katherine is a bit out of luck.

audio;
You and I know you get your hands dirty enough. [ okay in ric's book there are people who get their hands dirty and then people who have dirty hands because they touch the people who get their hands dirty. katherine is the latter. ] What kind?
[ two can play this nice nice game, katherine. 8| ]
audio;
you say that like it's a drawback for youi mean get your mind out of the gutter, saltzman. ]Mm. [ she doesn't want too much to be revealed via the network, so she concedes to his judgement. jenna may be willing to expose herself, but she's not, not yet. ] Whatever sounds the most appetizing, I suppose. I like to expose myself to all sorts of different tastes.
audio;
fresh fruit is that shapei mean katherine, ric's mind is not in the gutter. ]I'm surprised you agreed. [ he's not, but he'll run with this game until he and jenna have people protected. then it'll be safe to reveal it. ] Can't fault you for that, now can I. Though you might be allergic to something. You hungry right now, Katherine?
audio;
I'm not interested in wasting my energy and time arguing with you. And why would you want to know if I was? [ if he's planting what she suspects he is, it's not as if it'll do much to harm her, anyway. ] Famished, actually, but that doesn't sound like an invitation to dinner.
