summer gave its own troubles the world. he had been busy trying to do what he could with what little he could find. the humid weather had all but destroyed the fresh summer plants that didn't do so well in the extreme heat. Holland would walk amongst the nook - his first visit here - and quietly nod to himself as he came across the plants. he would have enjoyed collecting some of the spring herbs should he have been here in the Boreas but since he arrived in the summer, his little cache was only just beginning. shameful. he needed to restock. Holland had set out looking for parsley - good for coughing and digestive problems. since the summer gave allergies to some wolves, it was also good for asthma attacks. any cache needed parsley for various reasons and any healer worth their salt needed it too. unfortunately, if he found it, it'd be trouble keeping it. like stated, the heat wasn't kind to the herb. he'd have to store it in a cool location but seeing as he planned on living in the west... it was pretty damn hot there. it'd die quite easily. and like he guessed, when he did find the parsley, it was wilted. Holland stood over the yellowed plant with a grim expression on his face. half ironic amusement and half irritability. he'd have to find some other plant to substitute but what? he was too focused on what he couldn't have that he failed to recall the names of what he could find in the heat. grumbling quietly, he'd recline and try to pick through the stock. hopefully, something was worth saving. but try as he might, the herb was of no use to him. nor anyone else for that matter. wait. dandelion was common enough, right? and it was useful for digestion and anti-inflammatory... the young man's head rose, a look of hope across his features as he glanced around. it was, as said, common and easy to spot. he'd find it sooner or later. rising to all fours, he'd began nosing through the nook's various foliage, trying to find the yellow flowering plant to collect. from what he remembered it grew in moist, sunny areas. trying to locate a water source, the budding healer would swing his body and look.

holland is not a nice character typically; his views do not reflect my own.
