Ume is transfixed as his father lays out the herbs, displaying an uncharacteristic focus as those too-bright eyes examine the yellow plant. it has so many properties! “health…appetite…swelling…” they repeat it to themselves, trying to commit it all to memory. just how does Mojito remember it all?
the second herb has a funny name - alfalfa - which they mouth silently to themselves just to enjoy the shape of it on their tongue. ”what kind of problems?” they ask suddenly, interrupting their father. their curious mind is turning, fascinated at the idea that eating too much of something can do…bad things to you. would it induce excessive vomiting? hallucinations? what might an overdose look like to an outside observer? they practically burn with questions!
Ume accepts a plant as Mo instructs them, turning it over and over with near-feverish interest. it’s…properly an unnerving sight for his father and sister to witness, but Ume doesn’t pay it any mind - can’t, in fact, when he’s so engrossed.
