Tea Time!

Chrys decided that he should at least get the Valerian root started drying. They could always look for more herbs while it was drying and he felt pretty certain no one would want to eat the herb thanks to its terrible smell. Chrys set the root on the edge of the fountain in the middle of the shrine then carefully opened his pack and started rummaging about for some twine. He pulled some out and set it down next to the herb. In truth he wasn't sure what the best way was to dry a root. The one nice thing about hang drying was that the herb in question tended to dry more evenly as all sides were exposed to the air.

He looked over to Thaddeus and smiled. "You'll be free to go!" He remembered how nervous the man had seemed about becoming a prisoner and so he looked to reassure the man that he was he would not be. "Olympia is not a prison. " The man seemed to be struggling with another insecurity and he didn't know what to do. Chrys felt a pang of sympathy for the fact the man didn't have any one else but he wasn't sure what he could do about it. He knew that by bringing a half-breed into the pack he had broken one of Ley's rules that had seemed so inconsequential when he had a life to save. There was no way Thaddeus would be allowed to stay in the pack and so even though Chrysanthos wanted to volunteer he knew he couldn't be that 'someone'.

"Well… is there any hobby or anything you enjoy doing? Any environment you'd like to live in?" He figured he'd start with the big questions and they narrow in from there.
