Amalia stretched out, blinking open her deep blue eyes. For a moment she didn't realize where she was, and a small burst of panic rose in her chest. It took her a moment to take in the familiar scent of herbs and the sight of her shelves that she had dug into the den. Oh my, she had fallen asleep in her herb den again. Shaking her head, she squeezed out of her den and shook the dirt from her pale coat. Hopefully Athena wouldn't be too mad at her, it would seem that she had fallen asleep while she was sorting through her stores. Winter may be the birth season of her boys, and now her girls, but other than that she disliked this cold time. Hardly any herbs grow, and all healers were on low supplies. It made her heart feel heavy, no matter how much she tried to collect for the rest of the year, she always seemed to get low on more than just one type of herb. She needed some help, she always drove herself to getting sick by the time that winter came. Her cold that she had caught earlier this year had finally wore off, but last year she had been way worse. Blowing out a deep breath she watched it fog before her, before an idea came to mind. Tib's little girlfriend! What was her name again? She had seen the black woman during meetings, but other than that she hadn't really personally spoken to her one on one. Tib had told her that she was interested in healing and had been leading her own studies. Well then, what a better way to bound than over herbs and healing? Giggling to herself she tipped up her head, calling for the darker coated girl. It would be good to get to know this dame that had seemed to capture her boys heart, and it was always nice to have a hand during the winter. Maybe she could even take her on as an apprentice! Amalia's rump wiggled in the snow, excitement burning in her eyes as she lowered her head and waited. This was going to be so much fun!
