The longer Finch observed Pythia, the more she came to realize that she was as different from Calliope as she could possibly be - so much so that they almost seemed to be different animals entirely. It was endearing. Branches from the same family tree could separate, divide, become something different and new. Pythia invited her to join and she eagerly busied herself with the work, finding no small comfort in the familiar activity. She may be far away from home, but yarrow was still yarrow wherever it grew. Finch carefully cleared away dirt from the roots so that she could preserve as much of the plant as possible, a holdover from Avalon's penchant for farming.
A miracle conception, eh? She knew wolves across Boreas and Auster favored certain belief systems. Auntie Thalia followed Abraxas, although she wasn't much of a talker so Finch wasn't quite sure of what that entailed. Whatever brought a wolf comfort was fine by her, although she didn't feel the need to turn herself over to some higher power. Finch found comfort in the natural, explainable cycle of nature. The seasons changed. Things grew and things died. Why search for meaning? She found meaning enough in this. Nevertheless, she simply took Pythia's words at face value. Regardless of what you believed, a miracle was a special thing. "A miracle? That's lovely," she murmured, continuing to work on freeing the yarrow's roots from the ground. Now came the tricky part - removing the plant from the soil without botching the whole operation. She wriggled it from side to side carefully.
"I've met Wake, as well - you must have quite a large family, Pythia. How nice, to be surrounded by such a boisterous crew," she grinned. Her own family was small but terribly close knit. Even now, she wondered what Jay and Corvus were doing. Did they miss her? Surely they'd noticed her absence by now. "Would you tell me more about them? Your family, that is." Seeing as I might be stuck here for a while... With a soft exclamation of satisfaction, Finch released the yarrow plant from the ground and laid it gently upon the earth. "There's one yarrow plant down. Do you prefer to harvest a particular part of the plant, or do you retrieve it all with roots intact?" She added, glancing at Pythia as she worked to see what the customary activity might be for the Raiders. They certainly didn't seem agriculturally inclined. Imagining Calliope having the patience to tend the fields, plant something and toil and wait for it to grow... it was almost laughable.
