She could tell from his reaction that he hadn't quite absorbed all of the stuff she told him, but that was fine by her. It actually made her chuckle a little and grin. It reminded her a lot of how she had started out when she was his age and her mother had started teaching her little things here and there. It hadn't really begun to stick until she was a couple seasons old. It all had seemed pretty boring and tedious when she was a puppy, but then at some point it all started to click and she started to enjoy it more and more. She watched as he attempted the same motion she had done to clean off the dandelion roots and she nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, just like that! Once you don't see a lot of dirt on there any more you can put it off to the side and start on the next one." Elba did the same, gently washing off the pile of dandelion plants one by one. Just as she finished up with one and sat it in a separate pile, her ears swiveled forward to listen when he commented on how much she knew. She smiled a little and gave a bashful shrug of her shoulders. "Oh, I don't really know all that much yet. I'm still learning. My mom knows way more than I do and my grandmother knew even more than she does! It takes a really long time to get really good at healing." She liked to think she was making good progress, but there was so much left to learn. She thought about her grandmother and how amazing she had been at all things healing and really wished she had gotten the chance to learn more from her. Her mother was amazing as well, but Grandma Zuriel really had a special way about her when it came to actually using all that healing knowledge. She mostly just knew about different kinds of herbs right now. There hadn't been a whole lot of reasons for her to practice yet which was good and bad. It meant not a lot of wolves around her had been hurt or sick, but it also meant she didn't have many chances to learn. Soon enough all of the dandelions were cleaned off and laid neatly in a pile between them. "Perfect!" she said happily, her tail wagging. "Thank you for your help, Coran! This took way less time than it would have if I did it by myself." |
