Herb gathering

Paladin chuckled softly at her query, nodding with a light, “Of course. There are plenty up there.” Kayode flashed a quick wink down at the Armadan healer as he plucked several more leaves, tucking them away and shifting down a branch for more.
Paladin, meanwhile, tipped his head with an easy grin as Meadow listed off what she hoped to find. “Trillium’s pretty easy to find if you know where to look. They like low tree cover in temperate forests. If you look under the low boughs of fir trees among salal bushes, they like the soil there because it’s moist and cool, and they get just enough sunlight there. Some will grow in more open areas, but nearly always in forests unless replanted and tended very carefully.”
He grinned, adding, “Trillium is also very good to use for birthing. It helps the contractions start, and also helps keep the mother from bleeding too heavily afterward, and helps with the pains. It should never be used too soon, though, or it could cause miscarriage.”
Kayode plucked several more leaves, and Ime waited to catch the bag if the lemur dropped it. Paladin went on to add, “Boneset, however, is more likely to be found in good grazing lands or marshy areas, and is best collected when in bloom during the Summer, but I know of a few good areas, so perhaps if you’d like to search for those come Summer, I’d be happy to show you.”
His eyes twinkled good-naturedly as he glanced aside at the woman, “We’re always happy for company regardless, today or any day. Good work gets done with many paws.”
