The stars in your eyes

Segin gave an understanding nod to Emersyn's reservations about being here at night. He understood what it was like to constantly be on guard, but his threat had gone away when he killed his father. He didn't necessarily have anything to fear besides the usual larger predators and up until recently he hadn't even cared about them. At one point not all that long ago he probably wouldn't have resisted if they had tried to attack him and would have willingly been killed. Now though, he had wolves that seemed to care about him and a reason to take care of himself. He knew that Indigo at least would be upset if anything happened to him so that was reason enough to eat well and work on himself and stay safe. He wouldn't argue the point with the latest addition to what he saw as their family, but he did silently hope that she relaxed some as time went on.

His ears perked when she asked about the dandelions he had come out here for, smiling as he explained, "Oh, they're a really good general herb for healing. If you mush them up you can put them on a cut or a bruise to help with the inflammation. It's pretty good for joint pain too. Or you can just eat them if you're having any digestive issues or need to up your appetite for some reason." It was one of the herbs he was most familiar with and was confident in explaining so he didn't mind giving Emersyn a brief lesson on the plant. "They're really common so it's an easy one to find, but it takes a little bit of time to collect because the roots are really the best part to use so I have to dig them up and wash off the roots."

He started working his way through the plains along the stream, pausing occasionally to dig up a dandelion that he came across and slipping them into he pack on his back. He never went far from her, but he kind of got the sense that she wouldn't really leave him alone out here either. "So... you're a fighter, huh?" he asked, glancing over his shoulder at her curiously as he worked. "I'm glad Indigo found someone that can help with protecting," he added genuinely, pausing in the middle digging up another dandelion with a slightly guilty flick of his ears. "I kind of feel bad not knowing how to fight or really having the build for it. Indigo is a way better healer than I am too so... I'm still figuring out what I can do to help the band out more, you know? Indigo helped me a lot so I wanna pay him back." Pulling a grin across his features he looked up at Emersyn happily. "But now you're with us so we have another fighter!"
