Dream A Little Dream of Me

Rœkia travelled back toward the edge of the lake with the valerian plants hanging from her jaws. She'd separate them once they got back to their campsite. She paused and glanced behind her to make sure that Lukina was following. She planned to work some of the juice out of the root and put it into a vial with white wine to make a tincture. Of course the first thing would be to clean and separate the root from the rest of the plant. She set the valerian down and turned to her cousin. "Ok, so the first thing we need to do is clean some of the dirt off the roots and then separate the roots from the tops." She took one of the valerian plants in her mouth by the stem and went over to the edge of lake. She dipped the root in then swirled it around to rinse the bulk of the dirt off of it. Once that was done she set it back on the shore and used her jaws to work the tops off leaving the roots.
