Speech // thought
Alexa's mismatched eyes darted about as the other girl seemed to relax. She didn't know if she could trust her to be relaxed or if it was another tactic to get Alexa's guard down. Her brother had made that into a game for them. She hated that game.
Though her mismatched ears perked up as she heard the words that the other girl was also an herbalist! Oh! People who tended to be herbalists were rather kind, weren't they? Her father was kind, and Lucette was kind. ad they both loved herbs. Maybe something horrible had happened to this girl to get her scars.
Since the girl was an herbalist then... Alexa finally started to relax as the girl mentioned an important rule of healing, not all herbs worked together.
"True, like echinacea and aspen..." She said quietly, her nose pointing to the ground as she thought about what kind of herbs go together. Only to bring her attention back up to the earthen girl as she apologized.
"Oh!" She hadn't had anyone apologize to her before! What does one do when they receive a sorry? She attempted to copy how her father responded to her when she said she was sorry, "It's-it's-okay. It's fine... I can understand why you're nervous." She replied she was always nervous too.
She had an idea, "Well, okay lets say we have a patient and they have an infection. We can't find any echinacea or oregano in this cold, and our stocks are low. What can we do?" She wondered. Was there an herb she didn't know about yet? Was there a trick they could potentially try?
