To Plant Some Seeds

永程

"Those are good ideas!" Smiled Yong Cheng at Eliphas, totally unsure of what was actually a good idea or not. He knew enough to keep himself alive, and he'd learnt some things upon joining the Armada, but the boy was far from a full-fledged healer. "Rare herbs, I think, if we can find them. I am not sure how the volcano will affect things growing in the wild, and-- " he stared at the plants he currently had. They weren't the rarest he could find, but he was contented with them. They were water-loving plants, and with the volcano drying up some water sources, he wasn't sure how long it would be before he could find them again. "-- It would be good to have a secondary resource."

"I know a few," he mused then, thinking about what herbs he wanted to put in his currently tiny garden. "Like ginseng. It helps to strengthen the immune system -- that is, the body's fighting force." It was one of the rarer herbs he was familiar with. Despite it being uncommon, his mother somehow knew it very well. "But I'm not too sure where to get it from."

There was also a flowering plant with white-petalled flowers he had heard of that was rumoured to ease childbirth pains, as well as for the general cleaning of wounds. Cheng was sure that he could use other herbs to clean wounds, but the aspect of childbirth was something he'd need specialised plants for. It might be good to get that too, and this he let Eliphas know.
