“Oh yes, I remember,” Han said, regarding Marla’s statement regarding their old professor, “as much as I love biology, even I tired of his demands of mass memorization. Still, it has come in handy, so I can’t blame him at all anymore. Not much anyway.”

Hanjae smiled to himself as he remembered the days at univeristy. Lorenzi would spatter out a barrage of terms and scientific names, expecting them to be perfectly memorized. Spelling included. Even with his own struggles, Hanjae was still at the top of Lorenzi’s class, as was Marla. 

“I agree, it wouldn’t hurt to gather more. But let’s not go too far out of the way. Perhaps around high noon we could make a point of looking for some. Anything else on the immediate list for today? I mean regarding your specific interests.”

Hanjae had been leading their efforts for two days now. And today he was metaphorically giving Marla the wheel. He had hoped for a modest rain today, or at least a cool misty sprinkle. Though his hopes were for naught as the sky above was clear as could be. Only a few small puffish white clouds skirted along across the great blue above. Now all Hanjae could do was hope this insufferable steamy fog lifted soon. Today, he was more than happy to simply tow the line and nothing more.

“Alright Number One, what say you?” Hanjae asked with a smile as put away his binoculars and looked to Marla.
