Maybe no one told you...

It was interesting to meet another wolf like herself. Faite wasn't exactly all giggles and warm laughter like this wolf and she certainly wasn't a healer, but they both displayed their emotions prominently. Or at least, from what she gathered, Stardust wore her heart out on her sleeve in regards of letting others know how she was feeling. She couldn't help but grin as Star took over with her lesson. Faite could at least try to be a good student - especially since Star so clearly loved her work. She could hear it in the way she began her explanations. She padded forward to inspect the plant as Stardust introduced herself. She glanced towards the woman's face and smiled softly. Stardust seemed very fitting since she had speckles over her face. She glanced towards the meadow-sweet and sniffed it and found that she was right, it did have a rather sweet scent to it. It'd never quite occurred to her that plants could go out of season. She knew they mostly died around winter, depending on the plant, but it was strange to think they had an expiration date like food did. She studied the powdery leaves like instructed and upon further inspection she could see the veins in the leaf as well. She glanced towards the purple stem and took it all in with fascination. She'd never quite pictured a healing lesson in her days plans, but it was all interesting nonetheless. Star was thorough in her explanation and Faite felt fairly confident she'd be able to at least recognize the plant again even if she wouldn't retain the memory of all its uses. And just like that Star gathered the leaves and then moved towards a rock with a squeal. Faite grinned and padded after her and paused as she began her explanation of Valerian root. She studied it's leaves and listened with quiet attentiveness as the woman explained its uses. It was hard to imagine it had so many uses, but it was amazing all the same. It was a wonder what just one plant could do. It made her guilty that she hadn't at least appreciated the craft earlier. Once again Star was on the move and Faite followed her back to the deer carcass. She supposed that its rotting body was proving to be a good food source for the plant life which helped it in the middle of winter. She noted its uses - cramps, intestinal problems, and constipation. Grayish-green hair-like leaves, it was a lot of information to take in and she'd only gone over three plants. How did healers even remember all this? "You're clearly very good at this." She chuckled. "Say, Star. If you're looking for a home I plan on raising a pack soon. You clearly know what you're doing - if you're interested you could join me?" She knew it was a big change in topic, but Faite couldn't help but like the woman. She was smart, clearly kind, and she knew what she was doing. She didn't want to put all the pressure on Zuriel for healing. Another healer was certainly welcome. Walk, "Talk" Think |
