And it's a long way forward, so trust in me

Dorian grinned happily as his father approved of his plans and echoed his thoughts on the benefit of looking for some more rare and uncommon herbs while they were somewhere that they might grow. He nodded with understanding at the mention of the bag he brought to carry back lots of herbs and with that got to work searching out the plants they were looking for. He was definitely on the hunt for Elderberry now that it was on his mind, but he also kept an eye out for any kind of helpful herbs or plants as he went. He didn't want to get too caught up in the hunt for one particular thing that he'd miss out on something else that would be just as useful!

He glanced back over his shoulder at his father as he was questioned on how he felt about his training and if he felt like he had made the progress he wanted to make. He grinned a little as he replied, "I feel like I've learned a lot and I've gotten a lot better, but it feels like there's always way more to learn, you know? So it's hard to tell if I'm really making a lot of progress or if I've just scratched the surface sometimes." He looked back toward the plants in front of him, pulling back some vines and parts of bushes as he went to search deeper into the tangled garden around them. "But I always learn something when I'm with you so I'm sure I'll be a master in no time!"
