[He is VERY glad she is understanding, hopefully this slight and harmless misunderstanding can blow over without ever being openly breached...
Jude thinks of his education as fairly standard, and with the lack of comparison to draw against with what the curriculum and age of admission may be like for people from OTHER worlds, has no idea that his world is the odd one out. In what world does a highly prestigious medical academy situated at the country's capital lets 13-years-old enroll? His, apparently, but that's neither here or there. Besides, Zelda's admission sounds plenty impressive to him, and he knows from firsthand experience how much you can really learn outside of a classroom. Turns out a LOT of important things don't get taught in one, as a matter of fact, and her versatility only adds to her credentials.]
The pleasure's all mine, I'd love to work together! There seems to be a lot of plants unique to Songerein we have no knowledge or reference for, plus dreamotion is an incredible power that can make all sorts of theoretically impossible things as we used to know them possible. We have a lot of trial and error ahead of us, your inference and input would be invaluable.
[His enthusiasm is more than palpable, the strange tension from earlier had completely dissipated in favor of the possibilities on the horizon. He hasn't said any of what he had to be polite, if anything he may sound a bit too excited for a teen going on about research...]
As for the plant, it's a flower called Glowing Dawn. [Saying that, he's rummaging through his bag to withdraw a small glass jar before placing it to the middle of the table, which contains a preserved flower.] They were found by M. 76 and someone he knows while he was out on an expedition in the Wildlands. I was contacted because I've spoken to him before about wanting to find a non-violent treatment against Noctaere possession. [The "someone" 76 knows being Kazuma, but Jude consciously skips over the name just in case. 76 should be plenty enough anyway, if Zelda would like to inquire personally after this.] I'm hoping to make a purification device that anyone can use with this, but learning more about its properties and finding ways to make medicine with them would also be a big step forward.
