That the young ones did not know of Blue Vervain did not dampen the drab male's mood, but instead improved it. An opportunity to teach! He smiled, his excitement growing, but trying to keep a cool demeanor. He thought back to when Abbot Kahn had brought him to the side of the trail they walked, and pointed the herb out to him. To Ara he said, "Blue Vervain looks a bit like a mint. It is a tall stalk, with narrow, toothed leaves growing up and opposite of each other. The small flowers grow in fang shaped clusters, and are bright blue. Whether they will be in bloom in this odd climate, I'm not sure." He looked between the young girls, checking their attention, looking for any sort of shine in their eyes, any passion.



It was a surprise of course, when young Novel asked for him to mentor her. He blinked a few times, allowing her words to process. To teach those who sought knowledge was one thing, but to be a direct mentor, to have a pupil? He could not deny that it was an extremely exciting and tempting offer, but something held him back. If Novel pressed him, he would say yes, but first he would try to do right by the small, frightened fae he had come to Ludicael with. "I would love to have a pupil," he began, "But I have taken the study of theology as my vocation. I know of herbs from my life before. I would be honored to teach you, but perhaps Lily would be more suitable? Unless you seek an education in the gods as well as herbology?" Bhaire waited eagerly for her answer, conflicted over what he hoped she would say.
