After Many Miles

Mariah regarded Elysia with a warm smile, appreciating the sincerity in her demeanor. "It's nice to meet you, Elysia," she replied, her voice gentle and reassuring. As she glanced over the assortment of herbs and plants that Elysia had gathered, Mariah furrowed her brow in thought. While she wasn't a healer herself, she had spent enough time observing her mother's herbal remedies to recognize some of the more common plants. "Well, let's see what we have here," Mariah said, stepping closer to examine the collection. She pointed to a cluster of purple flowers. "These are Bellflowers. They're known for their soothing properties and can be used to ease pain and inflammation."

Moving on to a bundle of green leaves, she continued, "And these are Nettle leaves. They're great for treating minor wounds and can even help with allergies if prepared properly." Her gaze shifted to a small white flower, delicate and unassuming. "Ah, and this is Feverfew. It's often used to relieve headaches and migraines, as well as reduce fever." Mariah smiled at Elysia, hoping her knowledge would be of assistance. "These are definitely useful herbs to have on hand, especially for basic first aid and general wellness. Your family will appreciate your efforts to gather them." She finished, looking for understanding in the other girl. Even if it wasn't there, all she needed to know that these were indeed useful plants to take home to someone who knew how to properly apply them.
