We meet again kid

Learning how to juggle his nephew's questions was a feat in and of itself, and Crux wasn't sure he had quite mastered it yet. Still he was doing his best. "A dry herb isn't as strong as a fresh one and on average we use salves and other mixtures rather than just slapping a leaf on someone so keeping them fresh means your mixture will be stronger." And then a question about Crux's older brother and Crux couldn't help but laugh lightly. "I don't think so, I believe your father's name is Mortis and Mort is a nickname, like calling you Wyl." He wasn't particularly close with his older brother, admittedly he had a general wariness around his older siblings. Azure had poisoned a hell of a deep well but he had no qualms with Mortis or any of the older siblings he had that were still around. Gossamer had even helped him some time ago when he'd been treating her wounds. Heck, if his brother had raised a kid as sweet as Wylan Crux had to assume Mortis wasn't that bad.

Wylan reached out to take hold of the mortar and commented on it's weight. "Sure is, it has to be thick enough to withstand the damage using a pestle can cause."Crux rose to his paws and quickly sorted through what he had that was, frankly, disposable. Just in case. About the only thing that fit that was dandelions. That would have to do. He brought a few back towards his nephew and began to strip the leaves, heads and roots. "Do you know what we use dandelions for?" He asked, unsure how much the boy's mother had taught him yet as he gently places the leaves and flower heads into his makeshift bowl and gently pushed it towards his nephew. Letting him try by getting a feel for the tools he was using.
