Amelia's glad to see her knowledge is useful to these people. Too often it feels as if everything she learned from her family's business before coming to the Nexus is useless and out of date. Here, at least, she can be helpful to people outside of herself, and that is a powerful feeling the rogue carries as they make their way along the road.
Once they're actually foraging for plants, Amelia points out everything she can think of. Dandelions, juniper, sage, henbane, among several others. There are still a dozen or more than Amelia doesn't know, but she takes a picture of each as Vidar collects them and assures the man that she'll investigate the names and properties of each of them once she returns to the Nexus. The library there will have everything she needs to at least find out the names and what the people of Earth use the plants for.
It takes over an hour for the rogue to exhaust everything the two of them are able to find easily. They're turning back toward the village when she suddenly stops Vidar with a word and then motions for him to follow as she steps out into the knee high grasses off one side of the road. Ahead of Amelia is a small patch of small white and yellow flowers, which she crouches down to examine once close enough. She picks a single flower from the group, rubs a white petal between her fingers long enough to destroy it, then touches her finger to her tongue to taste it. A bright smile comes over her face and she quickly turns to Vidar.
"This," she says, pointing to the flowers, "is chamomile. If there's some growing here, there's likely to be more spread throughout this field and downwind from this area. A bit more exploration of the area will be necessary to find it, but I'm confident there's at least a few more flowers hiding among the grasses."
