Mad Hatter’s Tea Party

Senda smiled encouragingly at Himawari, allowing the girl to take her time. She almost had it, so Sedna responded as if she had gotten it right on the first go. “Tha's right, ginger, or shoga, you give this one ter someone with an upset tummy.” The next to pipe up was Fuji, who seemed to be having a little more trouble with her words than her siblings were so far, but when she did speak, she would slip between her mother's and fathers tongue effortlessly. Of course, that made it very difficult for Sedna to understand her sometimes, but she was starting to pick up on bits here and there. She did love a challenge. “Chamomile,” She slowly enunciated the word for the children, “'s good fer sleepy time if someone isn't sleepy, but yer can also mix it up an' put it on ouchies ter help 'em heal a bit faster, or if someone has an upset tummy an' yer don't have ginger, yer can use this instead.”

Rheum's clear declaration earned an approving nod. “That's another one fer upset tummies, an' it's also good if someone has really bad breath...” She crinkled up her nose dramatically. “but, jus' like th' Chamomile, we can mix it up with other plants to put on ouchies, ter help keep germs out.” When children were this age, it was best to keep lessons short and sweet. “Mixing up fer ouchies takes some time an' practice so fer today we'll make some tea and we can all try the different flavours, yer can even try mixin' 'em together if yer want, an' Oti has some honey ter add ter make 'em taste a bit nicer if yer need.” She pushed some bowls forward to allow the children to create their own blends. “Jus' remember yer gonna be drinkin' 'em when we're done, so we can see which one is th' easiest fer treatin patients.” She added with a small smirk. It certainly wouldn't hurt them take their own medicine in this case.
