It's poisonous then, I presume. [ The flowers, petals, leaves: maybe he means all of it in what isn't quite a question and which doesn't supply much clarification as Geralt's response seems to do the same. At first, anyway; Claude watches with undisguised fascination as the flowers are bypassed for that core he'd missed in the cursory plant exam.
It's enough for him to crouch down instead of standing to use a gloved hand to delicately brush aside some stems to reveal more of the cores, glancing back up from that discovery as Geralt shuffles the seeds into view. That's all Claude needs to retrieve one for himself to mimic the motion to study his own set of seeds. Though the plant hadn't seemed familiar, the added description and a closer look at the petals helped place it. ]
Ah, this must be either the same plant or a different variety of it we passed on the way to Solvunn, but it was much closer to the forests. The soldiers mentioned it works as a last resort against starvation if one finds themselves in dire straits. The name they called it is on the tip of my tongue, but I suppose it'd be worth recognizing the ones growing here. Just in case.
[ Still - useful in more ways than one, so Claude retrieves a couple vials from his bag. The seeds go into one by themselves first and then with great care suggesting he may have done this a time or two beyond the desert here, the flower goes into the other. If it is poisonous, that only makes it all the more interesting. ]
