The small things matter

*Armai* · 07-04-2016, 08:19 PM

After the outbreak of the plague, and a very sick Jaelle arriving at their borders, things seemed to have calmed down considerably. Luckily the sickness hadn't spread and since then Armai had found herself with a lack of duties to do. She'd heard the summons for a hunting party by one of the other pack members, Jackson if she remembered correctly, but she hadn't shown up. It's not that she hadn't wanted to help, but she wasn't the best of hunters and running into trees and focusing on not tripping over things didn't seem like it was worth it. The most she could see herself doing is scaring away whatever big game they had planned on hunting. If it was rabbits she could pick up the scents of the many rabbit trails and places they liked to frequent, but they certainly weren't bug enough to feed more than one wolf. Then of course there was the fight training. She'd shown up for that because she realized she lacked any actual knowledge of fighting. She wanted to know how to at least defend herself.

She was grateful that it was now spring again. Already plants were blooming, as they'd already gotten a head start with the warmer weather, and she was happy that she had something to occupy herself with. She was going to take every opportunity she could to gather plants and then dry them for storage. She didn't want to risk running out if they had another outbreak again later on in the year. She knew exactly where she wanted to go for her little adventure too. Fern Gulley had always been a rather fruitful spot for finding useful herbs so she decided to go there. Nox was happy to lead the way. She could tell her snow leopard friend was happy to get out of the territory for once. They hadn't left much over the winter so any chance to stretch her legs was a good one.

She arrived at the border of the territory and she slowed her pace so she could get a good sniff at her surroundings. Despite being blind, she was rather proud of her sense of smell. It took her only a few moments before she headed off towards one of the stronger scents she'd picked up. Nox fell in tow behind her and it wasn't too long until she came to a patch of Lavender. She sniffed at them, her nose low to the ground, just to double check. It hadn't been the first time she'd accidentally mixed up the scents of the different herbs. Now that she lived with a pack she didn't want to make the same mistake. She would't forgive herself if she picked up something poisonous.
