Smile grows and eyes light up with happiness as Paladin agrees to share the leaves. She watches as Kayode winks down at her and Meadow giggles before turning her attention to Paladin. Listening intently to the information that he gives, she nods thoughtfully. His grin is mirrored with a huge smile from the intrigued Meadow. She says, “I am still learning certain herbs and the climates in which they grow in. Thank you so much for the information! You are very knowledgeable! Would you… be willing to teach me more?”

Always on the hunt for information to better understand the healing arts, she is quickly finding that Paladin is a fountain of knowledge and Meadow is extremely grateful to have met him. Frowning when he mentions the information about Boneset, she feels kind of stupid for not having known that. But he does not chide or belittle her for not knowing that information and the frown is quickly changed into a smile as he offers to search for them come Summer. With her. Tail wags happily as she nods her agreement.

When Paladin agrees to her idea about working together, Meadow almost jumps for joy. Already, she really likes him and wants to prove her worth as a healer. Nodding to his statement about good work and many paws, Meadow says, “I am always willing to put in a good day’s work. Especially when I have company as great as this!” She looks at Paladin, Kayode and Ime in turn and adds, “Besides, it is not every day I get to be accompanied by such a handsome trio.” Throwing a playful wink at Paladin, her smile and joy grows exponentially.

Turning to cast her eyes around, looking for something, anything, that she recognizes, Meadow starts to lose hope. Nothing looks familiar and she starts to feel silly. What kind of healer is she if she cannot identify anything? However, that is when she sees it, a little distance away, there is medium size tree with evergreen foliage. The narrow trunk, heart shaped leaves and greenish white flowers give away the identity of this helpful tree. Pointing toward the tree and shouting happily, “Look!” Meadow proceeds to bound cheerfully over to it.

When she reaches the tree, Meadow circles around the trunk once before starting to jabber to anyone who will listen, “Look at this! Sangre de Draco! Also known as Dragon’s Blood. The sap is prized for helping to heal cuts. They say it almost forms an almost ‘second skin’ when applied to wounds and aids in quickly closing them. Found mostly in mineral rich soil, the indicative sign of this tree is its bark, which is smooth and mottled.”

Stopping to take a deep breath, excitement gives way to determination as she looks the tree up and down. “We should harvest some of the sap. But how to do that?” Pursing her lips as she thinks, once more she circles the tree. Her mind turns to her bag, “I have some leather, a small container of water, a bowl and sharp rock in my saddlebag...” She meticulously lists off her tools, hoping that something that she brought might be able assist in the retravel of the sap.

After a moment she says, “Well, I guess I could peel back the bark and we could collect the sap that way… but then we need a container to put it in…” Biting the inside of her cheek thoughtfully, Meadow looks at the tree as if it will share all its secrets with her.
