Searching for the Nightsbane

Alex listened to the man's short explanation of why he was there and couldn't help but wonder about something. 

"You can recognize them, right? You knew that they were deceptive in nature, so you must know what they look like," the man asked Alex with an expectant look.

Alex looked at the man and saw a pleading look that only a father could have when they were worried about his daughter. Trap or not, there was little chance that this wasn't a father that wanted to do something for his daughter.

"I've never seen the plant myself," Alex said. The words immediately made the man's face fall. But before he could speak again, Alex continued.

"But I do know what they look like and can recognize them despite their deceptive nature. You don't have to worry about that," he said. "I only hope that they actually are in this place."

"We will be in a lot of trouble if there are none," Alex said and started walking, with the man following behind him.
