Ghosts don't really need to recharge.

Swindle was still getting used to that fact when he turned the emitter back on with the first rays of light. Being 'awake' didn't bother him so much, he had plans and ideas to keep his mind occupied.

"Odd I recharge in the Dream, but not here," he said to himself, as he glanced over from where he sat, watching Zoe and Silver still snoozing away.

Swindle's just as surprised as the rest of them, but he doesn't show it. There's a glimmer of recognition in his optics, however. He's seen this plant before, cycles ago. Many cycles ago. "Yikudian Runeflux," Swindle says, "The Azoth used them to make defensive cloaks..."

The merchant looks up at him quizzically, then back to the plant.

And Zoe twitches slightly and pokes herself in the audio receiver.

The plant is still growing, but now very slowly, and Swindle acks lightly as it tries to take root around his hand. "Whatever's in the air around here, it likes," Swindle says, trying to keep his hand unbound, then looks over, "Interested?"

"It's pretty, but what would we do with it?" asks the merchant. "I mean, look at this blanket. It's warm, and it's washable, and it's hard to get the fuzzy selk calves. Pretty, rare, and useful. What use is the shiny plant?"

"Right now, it's good for ticking off offlined arms dealers..." Swindle growls in the direction of the still growing plant as he tries to get it off his arm. "Though if one doesn't know how to weave it, not much else."
