The Beginning of Excellence

Walk | "Talk" | think

Briar sat dutifully beside her siblings, specifically on the end beside Kotori so that she'd have an easy escape route with her fellow horn wearing partner in crime just in case things got too boring. Of course her turquoise gaze was focused and attentive as Iolaire spoke, but whenever the healer wasn't looking she couldn't help but let her gaze drift just past Io to look at all the various herbs and things that were hiding almost out of sight. There was a whole garden of things that she desperately wanted to go poke at, but when the question of what this red thing in front of them was she turned her attention to the thing they had been presented.

Her little brows scrunched together with thought as her sisters and brother cast their votes for what this thing could be and she gave little shakes of her head to each answer. Even though she didn't know what it was either she knew that none of those things were right. It definitely wasn't a flower cause it didn't smell like a flower and it didn't have petals. It also definitely wasn't dead bugs since bugs were one of the grossest things ever and it didn't look gross. It did have leaves though so she knew it had to be some kind of plant... all the plants she had seen at least had leaves. So what kind of plant was sweet smelling, bright red, and had little speckles all over it?

It was definitely different from anything she had seen before but she wanted to get it right soooooo bad! She remembered the berries that their father's bear friend would eat sometimes and she gasped with the realization, her face lighting up as she looked back up at Io. "Is it a berry?!" she asked with a huge grin, just knowing for sure that she had gotten it right.
