it demands to be felt

As Seere imparts the wisdom of dandelions to Verity, she feels excited to meet one so young already interested in the healing arts. The pup’s words have the young healer smiling and the question about toxic plants has the monochrome girl explaining, “Well, toxic doesn’t always mean fatal. Er, doesn’t always cause death. It varies from plant to plant and can affect a wolf in various ways. For example, alder buckthorn is a shrub whose bark, when dried and aged, is useful as a laxative.” Mismatched eyes look to the pup as a grin tugs at her lips and she adds, “That means it will help you poop when you can’t.”

Seere continues to try to explain the more complex words that Verity may not have heard before because she remembers when she was the pup’s age and big words were thrown around. It could be very confusing. She continues on, “Now, if the bark isn’t dried and aged probably, it will give a wolf intense nausea and vomiting. We call that toxic because it makes you feel unwell.” A small nod is given as they continue to slowly walk, finding another lesson in the topic of toxic plants. Casting a glance toward Verity, she asks, “Would you like to hear more about toxic plants?”
