No One Suspects the FDA

Chrysanthos continued his search for valerian root and finally he found it, or at least what he thought was it. It was difficult to tell for sure now that winter had turned everything brown and frail but he would know almost as soon as he dug the plant up whether or not it was what he was looking for. He started heading toward the plant when he caught movement out of the corner of his eye. A young albino woman was trotting along near to him and suddenly she coughed. It was a wet, loud cough and it wasn't surprising to him. She must've escaped like so many others from the volcano and inhaled some of the ash. Chrys himself had just gotten over a cough that had shaken his lungs for nearly a week. Not to mention his nose had been running frequently since the eruption. He'd only just started to feel like he was some what back to normal.

The cough caught the attention of Bolla who peeked out of the top flap of the pack. Chrysanthos came to a stop and quickly set his pack down so that the lemur could climb out. "Hello there, my name is Chrysanthos Beaufort of Olympia. I'm a healer, might I give you something for your cough?" He had some comfrey in his pack that could help her. Since the volcanic eruption and the changing of the seasons he kept a few herbs for coughs on his person at all times.
