[--Huh? Wait, he mentioned both and intended them as separate suggestions for more choices, not...
...But before he could say anything, she's already gone through with her order. And actually come to think of it, hasn't he pulled some (several, countless) all-nighters both during his student and researcher days where he's accidentally mixed things you normally aren't supposed to when making himself a drink? Maybe it's sheer luck, maybe it's dubious fate, but he DOES as a matter of fact remember how ginger and peppermint tasted together. And it wasn't bad, just new! He didn't do it again because his assistant that day pointed out to him what he's done while he was making a pensive face after the first sip, informing him then that he's apparently put in two entirely different types of tea into his mug. He's been too mortified of getting caught again since, the chief reason why he hasn't tried mixing different teas again.
So basically, it should be fine, especially given how the tea fairies here are expert baristas. If cheap instant ginger and peppermint tea tasted okay to him, then it SHOULD be fine, right? Should.
Coughing into his hand and willing himself into losing a potentially odd expression he may have made, he's motoring right on to what they're here for. With any luck, she may be too distracted with the warmth and pleasant scent of her tea to notice?]
As for the questions you wrote initially, yes, a plant with anti-Noctaere properties has already been discovered in Songerein. There could be other substances in this world that may be effective against them too, which is why I left my request open ended. I studied to be a doctor back in my world, so I began looking into Noctaeres once I learned that they could possess other living beings and bring with them negative effects like an illness would. My focus is on developing treatment methods, but I'm not very experienced with medicine making, so I'm sure your knowledge of chemistry and botany would be very helpful.
[He may have launched into the topic with more abruptness and gusto than intended, but he is open with his hand as having more help can only better their odds of coming up with results. It was quite a bit though, so he pauses there and draws his mug closer to himself. If she has any question, comment, or else, he's all ears.]
