It didn't take much effort to find her way back to the medical den. The check-up with Aunt Ikigai hadn't been so bad, but there hadn't been much freedom in it. Mariah wanted to explore. She wanted to investigate the contents- the sources of the earthy scents. What she had come to understand as various answers to very specific problems. That was the part that caught her intrigue, and she had made the decision that she would return alone so she could explore without an audience.
After the trip there, and she was finally faced with the entrance to the infirmary, she stalled. In a silent moment of debate, she peered inside- quieting her breath in an effort to listen for any faint indication that the space was occupied. After a few moments of ringing silence, she decided that she was alone and it was safe to enter. Mariah took the first few cautious steps into the threshold. It was a good-sized space, with many points of interest. However, her attention immediately went to the furs that Momma had asked her and her brother to wait on for their exam- though, it didn't linger for long.
Strolling further into the den, she headed straight for some of the dried herbs that had been left out. Perhaps they were leftovers from the last patient treated that didn't quite get put back up. She didn't quite know what she was looking at, or what their purpose was. But that didn't stop her from memorizing every minute detail about them. The name and purpose could come later.
