"Hm... well, no. I just have a lot of responsibility at home. I wanted to take a little vacation," Theory said. It wasn't a lie - in fact, it was just about the truth. Next to the truth. Basically the truth. Theo picked up the half-shell of the coconut that had broken nearby and scrambled up the embankment, passing Luta as she did. Just a bit further inland she found a small stream that had slowed to a trickle. Bending down, she laid the coconut shell long enough in the water for it to fill. Carefully she picked it up and made her way back to the scrubby soil where she'd planted the coconut. Theo dug a small trench around it and poured the water it. There, that looked right. At least it looked like the one further downshore that had seemed to flourish under these conditions. "Could you tell me more about your tisane?" she asked, tilting her head up towards Luta. The fragrant scent of the plants she was working with drifted down to her nose. "What you're working with smells quite lovely." She did need to learn more about healing and herbs. Rhyme had helped start her base of knowledge, but she didn't want to depend on her father for everything. He deserved a vacation more than she did.
