The Reach of Winter

OOC: so sorry this has taken me so long! D:

Pnuma thanked her when he was safely through the passage and she dipped her head in seemingly gentle, humble acknowledgement of his thanks. The young male was coming along nicely. He followed her everywhere; a grateful, inquisitive little shadow. Circe was growing rather fond of his presence. His interest in plants and their uses was nice, and she found sharing her knowledge rather enjoyable.

He was quick to return the favor; holding back a tangle of thorns so she could squeeze by. It was no easy task for the giant. The creatures who had forged the path they were on were much smaller than her so her broad shoulders and towering head were in constant danger of being pricked and scraped. "Ah, and thank you," she said with a gentle chuckle.

Circe's gaze fell upon a dark purple cluster hanging from a nearby vine. Her eyes lit up and she made a beeline for the plant, but the withered appearance of the berries quickly dulled her bright expression. Right plant, wrong time. They were probably too late to make use of them. She didn't know how long the berries' remained potent after losing the support of the vine, but it seemed fair to assume that the ones she was looking at (that were very nearly raisins)

She was quick to direct Pnuma's attention to them. "There are a little too far gone, I think, but we're going in the right direction." Circe glanced back at her companion with a sly expression that said she was about to test his knowledge. While she hadn't formally taken him on as an apprentice his interest in healing was too good an opportunity to pass up. She would be remiss if she didn't use it to draw him in closer. "Do you know what elderberries are good for?"
