I think one would have to be educated about the wildlife enough to know for sure. I understand very little about this...
[a memory stirs, though]
Perhaps they move with the seasons, as birds did where I came from? My country had quite temperate winters - it was a rare thing we would get snow, so birds would often fly to my country from colder ones...
[straightening up slightly, a little sheepish]
But I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything...
That’s a fair guess! And hey, I’m still learning about the wildlife, too. There's a team where I work that surveys animals, while others survey the plants.
[ Sanzo takes care of most of that research, though he’s been on excursions with Mikazuki, too.
...He’s uh, not going to mention that one, though. Things got a little awkward toward the end. ]
There’s a lot about this place that none of us know yet. It’s like we landed on a whole new planet, and we’ve got to start over completely, in terms of exploration.
[ Forgive him if he looks a little too wild-eyed and excited about this prospect, too. ]
This may be a silly question, but is there no information the locals - the natives - can offer...?
[of course it's possible that they have already, but Linneus does find that strange, the idea that so much investigation is happening. It rather suggests the natives don't know their own homeland - like they, the newcomers, are essentially doing all the exploration]

And perhaps you might be able to tell me about the plant it question. It would be good to learn...
[and it's been a while since he did flower sketches]
Perhaps they adapted to the plant life? Or they grew in tandem...

[ He scratches his cheek for a moment. ] Maybe so. Or, maybe herds of wildlife would migrate to different areas to find an easier meal. Who knows?
[ He certainly doesn't. But he seems undeniably enthusiastic to find out. ]
