Embers and Greenery [Ash]

Lúta decided to go ahead and gather the root of each plant. Just one set from each to experiment with. She hated to uproot entire groups of crops but she was anxious to find out if the roots had any healing properties. She started digging around one of the lavender plants she'd snipped off earlier, carefully working her claws through the dirt until there was enough of the plant sticking out of the earth. Seizing it in her mouth she pulled it up and and added it to her pile.

She chuckled as the man mentioned his kids. She didn't have any herself, being celibate, but she'd seen others with their children. "I wonder where they get their energy from and where does it go when we get older? I can't believe I ever had as much energy as some of the kids I've seen. Do you have quite a few children?" She spoke as she dug at the base of one of the yarrow plants she'd cut off. She worked diligently and at last pulled up the root.

Lúta nodded. "Yes, I'm a healer. Not an expert or anything, I'm still learning but I learn a little more each day. My name is Lúta by the way." She figured if she just focused on learning a little bit more each day she'd be an expert in no time. Her eyes fell back on the yarrow as the man's voice trailed off. "It makes a tea that is great for colds and I find it is also useful in a poultice to slow bleeding in minor wounds."
