The Basics

The girl would tell Loccian she was ready, she gave a nod of her head with a smile. ?Alright, today I shall be showing you a few herbs that can be used for small cuts similar to the one your father has.? Her grey gaze would look to the plant she had been inspecting, but instead of telling the girl about it she would find something else this would be for a different lesson. Aches and pains. For now she would only focus on a few, easy ones for Ara to remember since they grew within the kingdom. The Ambassador didn't want to overwhelm the girl on her first day.
She would lift herself up and give a brief shake, ten with a motion of her head for the girl to follow, she would begin walking away from the lake and in the direction opposite of them. ?We will be heading towards the western border for your first herb, Lavender, which grows in dryer soil under the full sunlight. Narrow leaves opposite each other, a light blue color in the flowers, they have a strong scent. They aren't hard to miss.? She would inform the girl, taking her past the southern forest and arriving at the western border.
Away from the lake the soil was dryer, and away from the small forest it gave the plants plenty of sunlight to grow. Here and there in front of them were the plants Loccian had described, a decent amount of them. She would continue on, making her way to the closest one before taking a seat. ?The first thing for any wound is to clean it out, get some water and try to get out any dirt and blood. Lavender should be crushed up a bit to release the oils which should be spread over the cut or scrape. This will be like the first defense, helping the tissues to repair faster, kill germs that could cause infection and helps reduce scarring.?
It was one of the best herbs to use, plenty in the Kingdom. She thought it was a good one to start off with, Ara saw the scarring on her shoulder and her father's face, perhaps she would try using this herb a lot to help others not get them.
