My apologies. [ even matt can laugh at himself, fred, geeze. once fred is in hand's range, matt snags onto his hand to try to pull him down --- he's got a pretty firm and strong grip, for a blind guy. maybe he works out. ]

Nothing that can't wait while I help out a new acquaintance.

[ now matt's trying to tug him to the ground..... yeah, this is gonna be tough. ] If the plant triggered it, maybe another one can reverse it....

[ he's just thinking out loud though he doesn't want to touch any of these weird plants. ]
