Beauty In The Smallest Petal

Eulogy it seemed came well prepared. She watched as the ageing wolf took off her healer's bag and opened it up. Curiosity and proprietary warred inside of her for a few long breaths as Kitsune politely fought the urge to peer into the other healer's things. She always wanted to know how others did their crafts. She knew every moment she spent with Eulogy, she could learn something new. As it was, she borrowed bags every now and then, but had none of her own. She knew she would need to get into the habit of carrying around the basics in herbs. So that she could be ready in case any emergency struck. She was a fighter first, but she had dedicated so much of her life to the art of healing that it would be a crime not to use her knowledge to help those around her. As a newly ranked Chunin, she had to think of the pack in all things.

As Kitsune watched, Eulogy pulled out some beautiful clay pots, and the Ashen princess understood what Eulogy meant to do. This way, they could carefully transfer the plants - roots, dirt, and all to the new location. Bringing with it the dirt they were used to would surely help them acclimate to their new plot.

“Four sounds like a great idea” She agreed easily. You wanted at least two of the plants to help with germination. Four sounded like a good amount for redundancy. As Kitsune considered that, Eulogy stepped forward and started to inspect a plant. Calling out something important as she did so. “I will, Lady Eulogy” She agreed readily. Knowing it was time she started to do the same, she turned back to look at the plants. She began to carefully inspect the lavender. Wanting to make good choices in the plants she picked. She surmised they would pick two each. That would be the most efficient way of doing it.

Absentmindedly, Kitsune reached over and grabbed one of Eulogy’s clay pots. Treating the beautiful clay pot carefully as she pulled it closer to her. Her mind was more on the plants then the pot, however. She was carefully examining the stalk, the earth, and the plant itself. The first one she looked at showed some faint signs of dots. Perhaps where bugs had been a little too careless in eating it. She studied it, then moved on.

The next one she looked at seemed rather hearty. It looked strong, and vibrant. Plus, while she was examining it a little ladybug crawled out of the flowers. “Hey there little one” she said, and grinned. Ladybugs were always good in the garden. It was almost like a sign. This one was the one. She began to dig into the dirt and carefully dug out the roots without damaging them. Lifting it from the earth, she placed it into her clay pot. Rubbing a little bit of dirt off her nose (and likely just smudging it around) “I’ve got one lovely plant, how about you?’ she asked, turning to see how Eulogy was faring.
