Seeing his son grin, speaking honestly about his progress as a healer made the winged man happen. Gavroche chuckled softly at the response, moving up alongside his boy as he shifted the grasses back to see what herbs might be lurking behind them. Elderberry could grow high, so looking up for those would be key, but it didn’t hurt to see what else was there in the meanwhile either. Ahh, and as expected he found the soft, fuzzy leaves of a familiar plant behind some of the taller grass. Lamb’s Ear. His green gaze would flick back towards Dorian as he spoke.

“You are not wrong. You have learned a lot, and you are making a lot of progress. One of the beautiful things about being a healer is even if you’ve learned everything a more experienced healer knows, there is still more to learn. Different combinations of herbs, maybe uses we haven’t discovered yet. A good healer should not be judged for knowing “everything” but for having a wide variety of knowledge of ailments and treatments, and be open to learning and discovering new ones.” He smiled warmly.

“You are catching up to the basics of what I know so quickly, even faster than your sister had. I’m proud of you, Dorian.” He chuckled softly, gaze turning back to the Lamb’s Ear he had unearthed. “I don’t think I’ve told you about this plant though, and it’s one of the first ones I taught your sister about. It’s called Lamb’s Ear; a plant that is in the mint family. See how the leaves are a bit silver? They’re soft.” Gavroche lowered toward the plant, motioning with a paw. “In summer they will grow tiny purplish-pink flowers. Removing them is best to help the plant keep in compact should you ever need to transplant it elsewhere and want it to flourish.” He glanced back at his boy.

“They like sunlight, so full sunlight or partially shaded patches of earth will help them grow best. Being trapped here behind some grass will hinder them, and that’s why there’s not as much growing here as there might be in other areas. It is an uncommon plant though, so you won’t necessarily find it in abundance.” Gavroche chuckled. “If we were to try and grow some in Ethne, where would you think the best spot to grow it would be?” He would start with that, then move on with what the leaves could be used for… and see if Dorian might have a guess on that use, for that matter!
