As the dust clears away, Chikusa is still wiping traces of dirt away from his glasses and face. Small blessings, during times like this, ensure that he's not actually useless with his glasses. Tugging the shirt out from behind his Kokuyo jacket, he focuses on wiping his glasses clean while squinting out to the enormous space that's suddenly been filled. Only a second, and suddenly there's a place there.

"...Ken, what did you do."

"That doesn't make any sense." Crouching by some of the plants, he gathers some leaves and other things into his pockets to look over later. In this place, he'll have to figure out ways to make his own poisons all over again...

"D'you think they were farting poison, byon?" Ken, no. Spores are not plant farts, although good luck explaining that to him. He's watching Chikusa with idle curiosity; he knows his partner's penchant for poisons and he's clearly already guessed why Chikusa's gathering samples.

"Too bad you couldn't collect the stuff in the air."

A pause, and Chikusa dead eyes Ken where he stands. It’s a common fact of life that Ken isn’t the brightest in the bunch, but sometimes the things he says… It makes him wonder just what’s going through his partner’s head sometimes.
Besides plant farts, apparently.

“That’s not what spores are, Ken.” It’s the only thing he can think to say, clearly exhausted at the idea of having to go indepth about how how he’s wrong. “Anyway… Next time, we know what to look for, so we can at least get a head before they’ve had a chance to attack like that…”

"What's the difference?" Ken asks, because clearly there's no degree of exhaustion to which he's not willing to drive Chikusa.

He squints at the plants. "Are they always gonna do that when they die, or could I kill 'em so they don't?" If they keep the spores inside them, Ken theorizes, maybe Chikusa can collect them somehow.

“Most people don’t kill others with their farts, for starters…” Can he leave it at that? He’d like to leave it at that. Especially because Ken has offered up something much more interesting that he has to consider. His chin tilts down to his chest as he thinks, shuffling along.

“....You’d have to be faster… That kind of thing is probably their first line of defense.”
