Hot today

It was indeed a long way.  As she seemed to consider it Kione had to wonder if he was going to need to figure out how to get a bunch of rocks back home.  In the end, she came to the same assessment of how that would be a difficult task.  However, she had shown interest.  If she liked them he’d get them for her later as a surprise.  

Kione turned his attention from the rocks to the plants all about them.  “I recognize the appearance of a good number of plants that I’ve seen in my travels but I only knew a few of their names and less about what they are good for.”

Kione nudged a nearby plant that would have once been green but was dried up and falling over on itself under the hot sun.  “Some of these are dying.  Are the dead ones still useful for whatever their use is or do we need to only get live ones?”  Just because the girl was younger didn’t mean she might not know more than the wild dog in some areas.  “I’ll grab whichever ones you want to take back with us.”
