i wish plant life would grow all around me

The woman liked his line of thinking. Indigo realized that both of the plants that he chose could be used to make tea, so he asked for a third that could also be used. "Right this way, sir," she said playfully as she moved back up the hill. The mint was already separated into different containers that she'd crafted out of various turtle shells and bowls of wood. "Mint spreads quickly. You should keep it separate from the rest of your garden since the roots travel and will take over." Lifting one of the potted plants, she pushed it towards the boy. "Water it every few days, but don't let the soil stay muddy. Mint needs full sun in the morning, but partial shade in the evening so it can rest."

Now that he'd chosen his plants, she imagined he'd like to take them home and plant them. "Would you like help planting your new plants or do you think you have it under control?" Iolaire was overjoyed that one of her nephews had taken to flora. She enjoyed this time with the boy. Though at first she'd avoided them simply due to the pain within her, being around her nephews and niece made the woman feel happy.
