Grow this Garden with Love

Samara wouldn't rush the man as she slowly pulled himself from the den. The fact he was able to do as much with just her prodding was a good sign. If she'd had to go in there and try to coax him out slowly it would have meant she needed to be doing more. And she would have, at the drop of a hat, but that he was willing to help her with so little protest meant a great deal towards his recovery.

Rhyme questioned after her "project" and the woman nodded, her grin widening as she saw his weak attempt at a tail wag. She gestured with her muzzle and started slowly off towards the plot of land she'd cleared. "I figured it'd do a lot of good for the pack to have a bit of an herb garden. No doubt there's a bit of a scramble to try and replenish stores and having some of the less common plants on hand even during better times will likely be an asset. Besides I've always found that having a garden has given me a place I can go to think and be alone while still giving me something to do." What she didn't mention of course was that she was also hoping that giving the man something that he would have to actually put time and effort into to keep alive. "So I figured you and I could make that our project."

She's lead him to the patch of land, and settle herself down near the pile of herbs she'd left then she turned to grin up at him. "And if you don't mind I was going to ask you to get your paws dirty for me." She gestured to the untilled soil with her head, a mischevious glint in her eyes. Yes, this project was mostly designed to help Rhyme but that didn't mean she couldn't have some fun with it. "I need to prepare what we do have for planting and make sure we're not missing anything vital." She said, giving him a wink.
