why are you following me?

Gossamer found it interesting that the woman could see a bit and that her vision wasn't all black like she assumed it must be. Unfortunately, Ásta spoiled the fun by making her return to her lessons. She was eager to learn but she wished the fox wasn't such a focused teacher.

"Now, we'll want to add about 8 ounces of water to each bowl to make one cup of tea. Here, watch me first so you know how much to put in. The fox picked up the water skin and carefully poured in some water. Gossamer watched carefully before taking the skin and pouring in a similar amount of water.

"Now, we'll put it next to the fire so the water can heat up and pull out more of the healing properties." Ásta carefully scooted her bowl near the fire and Gossamer followed. Once that was done the fox placed a lid on each bowl of tea.

Gossamer flopped down, glad for the break. As she turned to look at the woman who'd been swimming in the river it was just in time to hear her yelp with pain as the fire burnt her nose. Gossamer scrambled to her feet and bounded over. "Oh no! Yea, the fire gets pretty hot. I burnt my paw in it when I saw my first one." She still wasn't allowed to try making her own fire. Her aunt Iolaire was very good at it though and had made the big communal fire in the Armada. Well, if she remembered correctly. "I have some burn ointment if you need any." She'd learned shortly after her own mishap how to tend to burns.

"What's your name anyway? I'm Gossamer and the fox is Ásta."
