She sat, watching the downpour, eyes thoughtful. What would she teach him first? Basics, she supposed. Scratches and other easy wounds. He would improve fast, she knew. He had already soaked up so much of what she did. The basics would be a test to see what he remembered from his time with her, and what needed attention. Another soft rumble of thunder followed a flash of sheet lightning above. And out of the rain, her young student bounded, the grin he nearly always wore plastered firmly in place upon his maw. A smile came to her own muzzle as she looked him over.
Mud plastered and rain soaked, fur in all directions, his grey coloring covered over by Nature?s earth, he did look absurd. However she only smiled at the young male. His words made her smile further. ?Yes. It?s time to begin your training. Now that Spring is in full strength, and there are herbs to teach you, I can train you to the fullest. We?ll start with the basics first. I want to see how much you remember from your time under my care, and what needs reminding. Come. Nova?s asleep, but we shouldn't wake him if we speak quietly.?
She rose to her paws and turned, leading the young mud puppy to the falls where she drank, before heading up the natural staircase into the den. ?Now. What do you use on a deep scratch. It?s dirty, so what do you do first?? She asked the question as she went over to the herbal stock. She pawed out a few different ones and lined them up. Yarrow. Agrimony. Boneset. Black Alder bark. Alfalfa. Valerian. Lady?s Slipper. Lining them up she stepped away. ?At least two of these is what you need. Pick them out, and we'll see if you're correct"? She sat back and waited, eyes occasionally drifting to the alcove her mate snoozed in.
