The Art of New Life [Birthing Lesson!]

Dómari had no idea who Gargoyle was or anything else Paladin had said to Justice. He also wasn't familiar with the family relations between Talis and Celestial though it didn't take much to guess. He knew that Justice and Dragon were family. He focused on a butterfly that was flitting from flower to flower, uncertain if he was supposed to be listening in on a family matter.

When Paladin addressed him he shrank back from the man's words and gaze. He could see the other's point but did he have to be so sharp about it? The lesson continued and Dómari tried to stop his mind from wandering. He felt like this was a rather unfair test. To ask them questions they didn't know the answer to. In part he felt like this was an attempt to shame the older members. No one had bothered to take Dómari aside to teach him anything apart from a small lesson from Solveiga. Did Paladin really expect him to just pull an answer out of thin air? He ignored Aurielle. Perhaps he should have been impressed but he had a feeling someone had actually taught her before on the subject at hand. Regardless of her age it was hardly a fair comparison.

He was surprised though when Paladin nodded at him. Heavy breathing was a sign? The only 'labor' Dómari knew of was hard physical labor and he'd guessed based of of that. That was lucky. He was relieved when they moved past the quiz part of the lesson to the actual teaching. Plants were a great curiosity to Dómari and he shuffled forward to get a better look at the Trillium and Motherwort, trying to burn defining features of each into his mind. When Paladin had finished Dómari crept closer and took a good deep smell of all the herbs. Each had a distinct scent and Dómari found that when it came to gathering herbs he had much better luck pinning them by their scent than their appearance. Some healing herbs looked far to close to poisonous cousins.

He withdrew to let the others examine the plants and he nodded at Etain's question. "That's a good question, I was wondering to how do you determine how much to give a woman? What happens if you give them to much?"
