Rheum was pleased to see that this Sayuri was happy to let her help. Her tail wagged slowly between her hind legs as she listened intently. Both yellow eyes were bright and excited to drink in the new knowledge. While her mum was a great teacher, she was also super busy with the rest of her siblings; and all Rheum wanted to do was learn. If she couldn't find something to do, she would get bored, and well, being bored is boring. Maybe this Sayuri would help her learn new things all the time! An even more excited wag of her tail stirred up the dust and sand around her as she nodded at Sayuri's words. A garden for healers?! That sounded a lot more fun since she and Fuji had been temporarily banned from mum's garden. Something about planting forbidden plants in it... How was she supposed to know that the plant that made her woozy wasn't allowed? Her eyes would turn as she moved closer to listen to Sayuri's instructions. Without hesitation, Rheum got to work digging the row beside Sayuri. Feeling the warmth of the sun on her back did make her sweat a bit, but she paid no mind as she was happy to help Sayuri begin a new garden along the bay's shore. Immersed in digging her row meticulously, Rheum paused to look up at Sayuri when she asked if she knew any botany. "Oh, some, yes! Mum teaches me when she can," Rheum pauses as she too wipes her paw across her brow to keep sweat from her eyes. "I know Marigold is good for sore throats and cuts," her puppy-like voice chirps happily as her tail begins wagging again. "That's right, right?" She's uncertain for a moment, though she has no reason to doubt her mother's teachings. 1075/1500 |
