Little red riding hood

The hunt to find herbs never stopped it seemed and even though summer had finally chased away the everlasting cold away some things still required a bit of a trip to find. Slowly her garden in the green house was coming together with the help of some of the other healers and wolves in the pack though she knew it would be a few seasons before they could really rely on those plants for the bulk of their herbal needs. Some things just didn't thrive in that kind of environment and horsetail seemed to be one of them. Keeping the soil moist enough for it to grow was a challenge which was unfortunate since that was a plant that she tended to use a lot of with the amount of fighters that they had in the pack constantly getting bites and cuts from training.

Gwynevere hardly ever left the pack lands on her own, but she was slowly gaining a little bit of confidence, allowing herself to leave the castle behind for short trips. Mostly it was just out of not wanting to bother anyone just to go do something as simple as collect some horsetail along the nearby river, but there was also just part of her that wanted to force herself out of her comfort zone. Artorias was doing such great things with with learning how to lead the pack, Rudyard was being really proactive with making sure the pack had food in the stores, Avantika did so well at the Ashen tournament... She felt like she was doing really well in her studies and she was proud of the rank that Ulric had given her, but could she really say that she was growing up and coming into her own the way they were if she needed her paw held every time she needed herbs?

She pulled herself up and walked out of The Hallow's lands, going out to Cedar Falls with her satchel hanging across her chest, her head lifted with a fragile determination. She had even asked Eilwen to stay home this time - though she had no doubt that the raven would come looking for her anyway if she was gone for too long. She'd go, find her horsetail and maybe look around to see if there were any other herbs she could collect while she was out here, and then go home. Easy enough.
