Lavender And A Hint Of Rosemary

Segin trotted out toward the gardens that sprawled out near the castle grounds, one of the sacks that he and the other members of Indigo’s group used frequently to gather supplies slung across his back. It was an absolutely beautiful day and he wasn’t about to waste it sitting inside! He thought about asking Indigo or maybe Syanna to come with him, but he was trying to develop a little bit of independence. Well, healthy independence anyway. After living with his family up until the point that he was abandoned by them and then only finding peace with his new band, he realized that he didn’t really know how to be on his own. He loved being with his new purple family and he would always pick having company over being alone, but this was a good chance to make himself useful while the others were doing other things.

He wove his way though the rows of plants, trees, and shrubbery as he moved though the garden, an easy smile lingering on his features. He picked a few herbs here and there, some marigolds, some dandelions, some motherwort - any herbs that he knew were useful and that they might go through semi quickly. His bag was filling up pretty quickly, but even when he did fill up his bag he would probably linger out here for a while. It was bright and sunny, a perfect summer day. As he was exploring the gardens and picking the herbs he found he caught the scent of someone nearby and his silver gaze popped up to look for the stranger curiously.

His eyes landed on a smaller male and his eyes widened with surprise. The other man was covered in a patchwork of colors and was noticeably smaller than himself, but that wasn’t really the shocking part. He almost didn’t believe his eyes so he walked toward the stranger, unabashedly approaching him. He reached for the man’s wing, petting his paw across his wing and gasping with delighted surprise when he felt the feathers under his paw pads. ”They are real!” he exclaimed with a grin, his dark tail wagging behind him. He looked to the other male’s face, still grinning happily. ”I’m Segin! Nice to meet you.”
