He examined the plant, finding it to be nothing special to the untrained eye. He was an untrained eye, and to him it looked like shrubbery, just like everything else that grew around the delta.

As she began to explain it, Maverick listened intently, ears swiveling forward with interest. A Burdock. It could be used for infections. As she asked him to dig up the roots, Maverick's eyes widened slightly, but then the boy set himself to work. Front paws would scrape the earth tentatively at first, as if he were afraid the plant might somehow become angry at him for unearthing it. However, when it did not spring up and attack him, he set forth with more fervor, slowing only as roots became visible so that he would not cut them. Carefully and somewhat craftily, the boy unearthed the plant, leaving the roots exposed. However, in all of his commotion he had lacked much attention to the last part of her speech, which had been to watch out for the flowers. A few of them had broken off, depositing into the plush fur on his chest. He stepped back from the unearthed plant and huffed, craning his head down to bite in frustration at the flowers which clung so heavily to his coat. "Argh!" He would cry as he chewed relentlessly at the burrs. A sheepish grin clouded the boy's face as he turned his attention to her. "D'you know how to get these out?" Speech, |
