No, usually if I want someone dead I do it myself? [Like with his hands and staff and perhaps teeth.]
But since I have to know what plants are safe and useful for medicine I have to know what ones aren't, too. And some plants are useful in small doses but toxic if used too much. [Anyway;]
[And you know what Claude can have a memory for his trouble. (1)(2)(3)
Tsuyukusa, in his true form, is lying on the ground, feeling the energy drain out of him like a broken dam, unable to even fight the corrupted ayakashi any longer. Imayou, arrived to help, sniffs at him as her tree spirit tries to pull new growth from the splintered remains of Tsuyukusa's tree. But he already knows it's too far gone. He doesn't have a chance.]
Well not a sapling, since my tree is gone now, it's just me. For a while I was just a bird. [You know. The tree life cycle. Though given the form Tsuyukusa had in that memory maybe it makes complete sense. It was sort of a bird with branch antlers.]

Wh-How did you-

You just picked a poor target, I'm afraid. Do you normally work with poison?

Why aren't you mad?
no subject
Very smart. [ He shrugs. ] You weren't trying to kill me, were you?
no subject
[HE THINKS CLAUDE IS ALRIGHT.]
It's just the.... the extra assignment. So I picked something that would technically poison someone but not kill them.

[And thus the one best equipped to weather it.]

A little too tough, unfortunately. I've been eating poisoned food since I was a boy.
no subject
What, to build up a tolerance? Were you anticipating getting poisoned a lot?

[ He doesn't seem broken up about it. ]

[ Claude exhales- shakily, looking down at his hands for a moment before peering at Tsuyukasa. ]
What was that about?
no subject
[Are they sitting? He's sitting down now if not.]
I died. The only reason I'm here now is because my friend Toki did some weird magic to give me a new body.
no subject
A new body... So this isn't you?
