D. You need to look at that video that the ShenYuan user just posted. And I mean right away. I know you have blood roses out at the outpost haven. Looks like they ended up growing into something dangerous. Best not to take risks.
I've kept an eye on Varre and his roses. The roses are fine, or at least the ones I took to put at the outpost are. Something may have happened to the roses left there.
Varre carries cursed blood, from a source similar but different to my own. They don't spread through bites, but from injecting blood. There's no good equivalent for what he is in terms of the Nobility, except that he'd be similar to a bite victim.
Good to know. This fellow I was speaking to also says you were the one who managed to stop their fight. Well I say fight but it sounds like it was some kind of unthinking rage against anything in his vicinity. I don't know what part Varre was playing.
[ Well other than probably being murderously angry that his roses were victims. ]
I'm relieved to hear those roses are supposed to be normal. Er, as normal as blood-eating roses can be. Are you sure we shouldn't check them again? If one went haywire, maybe other plants of its same time are affected.
[ We probably refers to D and Gaia. Even if Gaia has no real ability to do so; consider it a slip of the tongue. ]
Apparently that hurricane was also caused by another fellow trying to interfere with the Pthumerian Mariana's domain. Or something. And given the timing it's probably connected with why Shen Yuan and those roses went haywire.
Also injecting blood? Don't tell me that Varre can do what was done to him to other people with his blood?!
[ It's clear that this is quite an alarming thought. ]
I wouldn't call it stopping when one person is dead and I'm just preventing a further corruption rampage. I left him at the Sanctuary to recover.
The basics is that he attacked the roses, Varre was killed defending them. The mobility is new, but some kind of external influence. They weren't hostile to me.
I've continually checked the roses, they have potential medicinal and healing properties and remove blood pollution from the soil to fuel their growth. They may be the fastest and easiest way to handle that problem.
I'm aware of the difficulty with Mariana as well.
I don't know if Varre can spread it successfully or not because he's a vileblood, but it's a possibility. I've warned him to keep his blood to himself.
Ugh. Maybe I heard him wrong. Of course he also mentioned he wasn't in his right mind at the time. Glad you were able to get there before there were more casualties then.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if the mobility was whatever wave caused Shen Yuan's aether to imbalance or if it's to do with Varre's blood being absorbed during that fight. I guess it's more reasonable to consider it was the former though. What a mess.
I'll keep that in mind about Varre. Like, never take anything he offers or volunteer anything. It's a shame though. I almost wanted some of those roses to make sure blood pollution couldn't spread if it was spilled at the house but it sounds like it's risky to make a deal with that guy.
In any case, I just wanted to make sure you saw that in case it did mean something.
[ Even before she had some of D's mannerisms and thought patterns, Gaia also had many words of opinion on the matter of Blood Ministers and Lumenwood. ]
I'll keep that in mind. Though frankly I'll likely avoid his services unless there's a dire emergency.
[ Arguably speaking, there's plenty of less crazy dubious individuals to seek medical services from. ]
Really? I'd appreciate that! Thank you, D. And I'll see you soon enough.
[ Visits to the outpost have certainly been more frequent of late so there's no mystery what she means there. ]
The best medicine and medical technology is still that made by the Nobility.
[D has an easier time than most, separating what someone has done or made from their own flaws and failings. He can appreciate the art and technology of the Nobility while still condemning them to extinction.]
That may be the case, but I still wouldn't want to be in their debt to benefit from it unless I had to. But don't worry. I won't completely disregard the possibility I'll need his aid one day.
I just hope I won't.
[ Probably not an immediate concern mind you. There's probably plenty of options out there. Maybe. But she won't tempt fate by saying something like 'what are the odds' either. ]

[D disapproves heavily of blood ministers as a healthcare system.]
I'll bring you some cuttings from the outpost once they're large enough. With all the blood being spilled they're growing very quickly.
