Sand everywhere

Viviane perked right back up when the male said he would help her find her plant. "You'll help me? Oh thank you so much! I wasn't sure I would be able to find any by myself." And she had so desperately not wanted to return empty-pawed. "Aloe vera," she repeated to commit it to memory, then beamed at him again. "I've learned something already."

At his introduction, she blushed, her ears turning hot in embarrassment. Hiw rude of her not to have introduced herself! "Oh, I'm sorry! My name is Viviane Adravendi. I'm an apprentice healer in Valhalla. Its a pleasure to meet you, Bourbon." She frisked along with him as he moved in another direction, clearly with someplace in mind. "Do you live nearby too, Bourban, or do you travel around?" She had heard stories about the Nomads, who were really well known healers who travelled a lot, and wondered briefly if he was one. But no, she was sure they had been wolves, and as wolf-like as he was Bourbon was clearly some different, related species, like mule deer and white tail deer being different but similar. Like the dog, she kept glancing around for those semi-familiar spikey leaves, though she kept looking back to him curiously.
