Second times the charm?

A little voice sounded from behind as he tried to figure out the last herb. "Motherwoooort! Thank you, Noko." The small man flashed the lemur a sweet smile. He'd become incredibly fond of her and often felt like she was a sort of mother figure. She surely cared for the pair of them enough, didn't she?

Noko explained what they would be doing and promised that the herbs would be better on his stomach than the last ones had been. Kite tucked his ears and gave the woman a bashful grin before turning his gaze to his stoic companion. He enjoyed looking at Octave so much. It was difficult to keep his eyes away for very long. "Shall we?"

Kite watched as Noko prepared three greens that they'd be consuming. He didn't exactly need help with heat or pregnancy, (honey, they hadn't even slept together yet) but he saw the wisdom in trying the taste of something simply to know what he was giving to his patients. Leaning down to the prepared pile, Kite inhaled gently, testing the scent of the herbs before putting them in his mouth. He frowned. "Dry. So dry!" His mouth was full of the sticky, earthy weeds and he did his best to swallow them down. Looking again to Octave, he motioned him forward. "Your turn to make silly faces."
