Indeed, this was Queen Anne's Lace! Or, as he had read in a tome, wild carrot. Their root vegetable was smaller, denser, woodier than their farmed counterpart. It would be a good plant to start with to bring back to the infirmary. If he recalled, Auntie Gwyn and the tome she helped him read had stated it had antiseptic and antibiotic aspects to it. Never could have too much of that available! Carefully, Ioan pulls down on the stem, bringing in closer to him. He looks, inspecting for disease, admiring the little white blooms. Yes, this would be perfect. He snips the cluster just beneath the widening of the stem when a sharp bark sounds in his direction. With plant in his mouth, Ioan looks up toward the noise. A stranger calling to him? His eyes go wide as his gazes land on the older wolf, but more around his sister, Ember's, age. He glances over his shoulder to his father, Artorias, who is looking at Seiko, a look of recognition on his face before he nods approval. Yes, he can reciprocate friendship with this wolf. A timid smile as he looks back to the wolf that approaches. Unlike Seiko, Ioan doesn't quite understand the dire situation the world is in. All he knows is the red sun and sky and starless nights. This is normal to him, but as he looks at Seiko, the pup wonders if the environment is what makes them... slightly uncomfortable looking. Did they too not often speak to others? "Morning," Ioan nods in greeting, that timid smile never faltering. "I s-suppose you could say th-that I am," the stutter of his words as he fights to find the correct ones to say is obvious, but doesn't hold him back. "Our Lead Ph-Physician," he stumbles the most over the complicated word, "is t-teaching me about plants. Th-this is Queen Anne's Lace," Ioan holds out the piece he has clipped toward Seiko to look at if they wish. "Are you also a-an herbalist?" He questions, head canting softly with curiosity filled eyes. |
