Rollin', Rollin', Rollin', Keep them Doggies Rollin'

Chrys smiled at the woman. "They're easiest to use fresh. If you can keep them in a cool, underground storage den they should keep for a week or so depending on the herb. Personally, with winter coming I prefer to dry them. Then when you need to use them you can mix them into a paste or tisane. "

Chrysanthos seized a rolled up piece of deer hide from inside his pack and laid it down on the ground before taking a paw and deftly unrolling it. "That's what I plan to do with the yarrow. My companion can hang them up to dry but really, laying them out on a hot stone works just as well."

He took the yarrow and laid them out on the deer hide, separating the herbs into bundles that he'd then hang to dry if he could find a good place for them. Thankfully, Bolla would be able to help with that task. He reached into his sack to pull out a bit of twine the lemur had made and she began to tie the herb bundles.

"Good questions! In cold weather if you can't manage fire it may be best to deliver the herb another way, though you can warm the water in your own mouth if you're desperate. I tend to put the water in a bowl or container of some kind. Even just making a ring of stones and laying some hide down in it can work." He'd been blessed with his crafty companion so he hadn't relied on some of these older methods in a long time.
