I Spy
The earthen healer was completely absorbed in his task. He and his hedgehog companion had brought back a hefty bundle of alfalfa, meadowsweet and yarrow. Whilst they carried their findings in their jaws, they held their heads high, feeling quite satisfied with how their morning exploration had turned out. All that was left was for them to plant the herbs and bathe in their success...until tomorrow, when they would set off in search for more.
They laid down their herbs on a clear space of soil by their shared den, careful not to damage the roots. He began to sift through his knowledge and extract the procedure of planting and maintaining a healthy garden. First they'd need to collect some water from the narrow stream he had found - the one that lead to the ocean, then they'd have to dig small holes to plant the herbs in...his thoughts were interrupted by a high-pitched squeal from his companion. "What is it, Silvius?" he asked, watching as the spiked creature sniffed the air. Terrae did the same and found the scent of a pup drifting towards them, growing stronger. Ah ha! Was one of his nieces sneaking up on him? In that case, he decided to keep quiet and pretend he hadn't noticed. "Shh," he whispered to his companion, a sly smile tugging at his lips. |
