Lesson One: Poultices

Verity blushed a tad at the compliment given by Seere. She really did hope that was the truth, that she'd become a good healer one day. The thought brought a tiny smile on her lips as she settled in. This smile only grew when it was announced her small explanation of poultices was accurate. Ver was glad she hadn't been wrong in front of all these new faces. She'd like to leave a good impression with her pack mates.

After Seere explained the usefulness of the specific poultice they were making today everyone got to work. Step by step Verity followed her mentor's instruction. First, she carefully poured the grated ginger into a pot, careful to not waste any. After that she began to rip the eucalyptus leaf up just as Seere did. Her nose twitched at the strong smell, Ver found she enjoyed it. The pup placed the shredded leaf into the pot. Lastly, she placed a glob of the oil into the pot as instructed. Verity eyed the mixture as Seere roamed around the clearing, the youngling hoped she had done it all correctly. She looked over at her Mother's work to compare.
