Blue Monday

"ARRRRRRRG!"

Her frustrated cry shattered the peace of the silent grove, sending small birds off into the sky to seek out new perches as the girl stamped her paw in the damp, almost muddy soil and threw back her head in a near tantrum. Her baby blue eyes were alight with icy rage as she cast a withering glare down at the tattered plant. She'd been trying to dig it up to bring back home. But then this crazy looking bird had landed nearby and she'd been distracted while digging and accidentally clawed apart some of it.

Scowling down at the herb, Seiran tried to decide how much of it was still usable. She pulled at the bits that were ripped apart, setting them aside and deciding that at the very least she could dry them and use them like normal. Now, hmm... There was a bit that was still alright, if she could just dig up the roots without messing up again she could bring the whole mess home. Still, Seiran was mentally kicking herself for not focusing.

Grumbling quiet curses and reprimands to herself, the young wolf continued her work, unaware that there was anyone else nearby.
