Blake nodded immediately and spoke in a hushed but excited whisper, "Exactly like that!" Fred was about to speak but Emery clamped a hand over the ginger-headed boy's mouth, knowing he'd speak loudly and possibly scare off whatever made the trail.

She very carefully sped up following the trail. At the end of it she found a turquoise shelled snail. She beckoned for the others to come to see it. "It's a streeler," she whispered. "It must have gotten out of someone's yard. I'll take some field notes and sketch it if you want to look for the moonflower?" she suggested.

Blake nodded and left Emery to take notes with Nyssa, since he had his own book. He brought Fred along to look for the Ipomoea alba. Fred looked around and saw plenty of flowers, "What's this 'moonflower' plant look like?" "It's vine-like, the leaves can be entire or three-lobed and it comes in white or pink. Healing potions though prefer white Moonflower in comparison to the pink." Fred nodded and snooped around, "What about the flower itself? What's the bugger shaped like?" "Like a star but not too dramatically so, the petals resemble a velvet."

"Emery would you mind pointing your wand at it so I can see it a bit better?" Nyssa asked him.
"Sure not a problem." he replied.
She started to take detailed notes about the appearance of the snail and the trail it was leaving. Just as she was finishing her sketch the snail changed color.
"Woah, is that supposed to happen?" Emery asked.
"Yeah, streelers change color every hour." she answered updating her notes and drawing a second snail this one with a bright green shell. "Alright," she said shutting her notebook. "Let's go find the others. He isn't going to do too much mo..." she trailed off as the streeler slimed its way over a pink bristled mushroom. She immediately opened her notebook again and started taking notes feverishly.
"What are you writing now?" Emery asked.
"Watch the mushroom." as she said this the mushroom fell over. "It was a horklump. It is actually a carnivorous animal and streeler venom is toxic to it." She finished her notes, stood up and said, "Let's go find the others and see if they've had any luck finding some moonflower."
They wandered over to Blake and Fred.

Blake was kneeled at the base of a gangly tree wrapped in twisted and coiled vines. At a glance, it would look like any other plant during the day but right now, the Moonflower flowers were in bloom and very contently resting on their vines. Blake had his gloves on and was gently lifting a flower up with his left hand, letting the vines hang. He grabbed his shears and cut two and a half inches from the base of the flower, placing his first sample into a crystal case. Looking up he smiled brightly to Nyssa and Emery, "Done?" Fred shifted his wand light towards the other two, illuminating their area better while still giving Blake a dim amount of light.

"Yes. We saw a horklump too. So I have notes on both. I see you found the Moonflower." she said.

Blake nodded as he took a sixth sample so their group would have two extra if anything went wrong, "I have one Ipomoea alba each for us and two extra. Would you each like to look after your own?" Blake motioned to the crystal cases near his bag as he finished shutting the last.

"Sure," she said. "This way I can take notes and sketch it tonight." She extended her hand and took a vial from Blake.

Blake smiled and watched as Fred took a crystal case and Emery did as well. "Alright, I'll keep the other three then. Back to the campsite for bed, then?"

"Sounds like an amazing idea. I'm exhausted," she replied.

Blake mewled a yawn and nodded to the nice girl tiredly, "Mmmhm, I think we all are Miss Nyssa."
They arrived back at the campsite and the girls' tent, the boys' tent still almost entirely invisible. Fred and Emery said their goodnight wishes and went into the tent as Blake waved to Nyssa, "Goodnight Miss Nyssa, sleep well!" Blake left as well, having to feel around for the entrance before he disappeared inside.

"G'night!" she said as she entered her tent.
