She was glad she'd arrived when she did, as the healer was ready to get started immediately. Bright perked up with interest when Amalia told them that they were going to play a game. Her black-tipped tail wagged against the ground - now she was really pleased that she had made it in time. Although she wasn't feeling her greatest, she was intrigued by the idea of a game to learn about herbs and healing. She found herself leaning in slightly as the healer described to them the rules, and what they were expected to do in order to win. She wondered if she'd stand a chance in this game, and although she felt a slight twinge of nerves, she was eager to get started. When Ama announced the first herb and ordered them to go, the silver-coated woman got to her paws, nosing Quelt's shoulder for just a brief moment. "Good luck!" she said in a light-hearted tone. Excited, she took off, hoping to be the first to get out there and find the herb, although she was sure the rest of the participants would soon be searching eagerly.

She knew what watercress looked like, but she wondered if she would remember its scent and be able to find it quickly. And... oh, what was it used for again? She would have to try to conjure up a memory as she sought out the herb itself. Following her nose, she plodded into the woods around the falls, searching under mossy logs, and behind big rocks. As she wandered closer to the falls, she picked up a scent that she recognized, and it became apparent to her that it was the watercress she was looking for. Speeding off towards it, her mind occupied enough by the game to ignore her earlier feelings of fatigue. When the scent was close, its fragrance heavy in the air, she dropped her nose to the ground, snuffling around a water-soaked rock. Aha! There it was, one of the single leaves of watercress that Ama had planted. Delicately Bright picked it up and turned around, plodding determinedly back to where the healer was, as her mind searched for answers as to its use.

It looked like she was the first one back (assuming everyone else has set out), or so she hoped - she wondered if anyone else had already found the herb and set out for the second one? But it didn't really matter, she would just have to do her best. The scent was a refreshing one, and she was pretty sure she knew what it was for if she remembered correctly. "Amalia, I found the watercress," she said softly, placing it down in front of the healer, "Is it for coughs?"
