Embers and Greenery [Ash]

The woman started to dig up the roots of the plants she had just picked. An odd practice to say the least, but hey, who was Ash to judge?  The woman spoke of kids and all the energy they had, saying that she wondered where it had all gone. She also led on to ask if he had many kids. Ashmedai flopped into a comfy sit and scratched at his ear for a moment while he thought, "Well, I think maybe we still got the energy, but what's cute for a pup is mighty annoyin' as an adult so I think it kinda... gets stamped out?" He was no stranger to being told he had too much energy or acted too much this way or that way to be an adult. But he had ended up with a rowdy bunch of pirates because of it, so he guessed they weren't all bad traits.

"I have three kids that I know of," he joked. Kind of. There could always be more he didn't know about, but he didn't let it keep him up at night. He'd raise them if their mothers brought them to him, and if not, then they weren't really his kids, were they? "Two of them here, about a year old and another grown one off doin' his own thing... maybe I have a few grand kids by now, but I can't be certain."

He thought that about summed his spawn up and nodded to himself. The woman said she was a healer, but still learning, and introduced herself as Lúta. Ashmedai offered her a polite nod, "Ashmedai Imperialis, miss Lúta. So tell me, you got any family around these parts?"

Lúta explained that yarrow was for teas, colds, and to slow bleeding in minor wounds. Ashmedai laughed dryly, "So that's why I can't remember what it does. I- uh- don't get minor wounds," he said, gesturing to his chest, "Only major ones."
