Shady Grove

As she continued walking past the ring of maple trees she came into the true grove, a small, sunny meadow tucked away in the middle of the forest. In between the taller grasses here grew a number of fruit-bearing shrubs. Jynn slowed her pace, wary of the chance of running into raspberry bushes. She didn't want to get snagged and cut up on the thorns. However, as she ventured further in she started to recognize some of the plants. Elderberries… blueberries… strawberries… and a berry that Tahmores told her was a "cloudberry". She had tried those before but she rather liked the taste of elderberries. Their brilliant tang was enjoyable in small doses. Reaching out her long neck she nabbed a small bunch of the berries and chewed away happily.
