Blur the Darkness

Kahaia listened carefully as the woman spoke, taking note of the many uses of this herb. So many things she had been unaware of before, but nevertheless they all seemed to be useful facts. Kahaia inched in closer to the bark, inspecting it carefully. "Do you mind if I might get some too?" She had watched the woman harvest it, so the young girl felt confident that she'd be able to gather a decent amount to make due with. Still, there didn't seem to be much left of this bush, the little one began looking a little further past the elderberry bush. Sure enough, her suspicions were right, there was another bush not far off from the one Lydia had been collecting from. It only made sense for there to be more than just one bush, considering they grew in the same soil, the same climate, they had to all be around the same area.

Kahaia proceeded towards the bush, expecting this new woman to follow behind her. Kahaia collected some of the berries and leaves, picking them off carefully as the woman had done. She was so afraid to ruin a part of the leaves, so she moved a little slower than she normally would. When it came time to collect the bark, the little flower wasn't so sure how to go about it. Eventually, after thinking about it for a moment's time, she decided to just peel at it delicately with her teeth. Her small build allowed for that, her maw and teeth were not huge like most of the other wolves she had seen. This gave her opportunity to take a chance at harvesting the bark without completely destroying it. As she looked at her little pile, she realized she had nothing to carry her herbs in. The girl, again, looked to the woman seeking any kind of guidance. "How do you collect it all and bring it back. Also, how am I supposed to dry it out and store it?" There were so many questions she wanted to ask about this new method of healing. The yearling was afraid of doing it wrong, she wanted to get things right the first time around. Healing could be a hit or miss for someone inexperienced, but the girl wanted to be wise and experienced like so many other healers she had come in contact with.
