These Days

His answer came accompanied with a smile and Callisto's pale, silvery blue eyes traveled from his kind face down to that of the eager little fox who stood just beside him though she did not remain there long. No sooner had she made her bow she was gone, zipping off into the woods and leaving the strangely stoic pup to stare blankly in her wake. Such energy. She was far more accustomed to the quiet guardian-like ways of her mother's companion; this was something entirely new to her, as was the topic of herbs that had drawn her into the wolf's company.

And of course her attention could not stray from the pile of leaves for very long. She stared at it curiously again and then back up at Cael, another question sparking within her eyes. "Are those for healing too?" she asked of the newly placed mint leaves, not daring to step closer and indicate with a nudge of her nose because of the potent smell they held and her apparent sensitivity to it. Callisto only assumed he would know to what she referred. There were so many more things on her mind already - what other sorts of plants were a part of this healing that he had mentioned, which were to be avoided, what were all their uses, was it a difficult profession to get into - but she refrained from asking more, choosing instead to take things one piece at a time. And for right now, merely getting a name along with the first herb she had been introduced to would be good enough.
