The woman watched with gentle appreciation as Lior correctly sorted out the herbs. Her ears would twitch occasionally at the sounds of new arrivals, but these she would only address as soon as the categorization was done. The young girl had moved every plant into its own neat little pile, taking note of similarities as Adelaide had instructed. One pile represented the roots, another represented the berries, and still others represented flowers and leaves. These could be split up into more specific groups, of course, but the child had done an excellent job. All thoughts of their late healer were forgotten as she smiled proudly at her new little student. It gave her confidence to see such knowledge blossoming in a younger mind. She felt like her mother, tutoring children of her own in the ways of healing. She had taught the white maiden everything she knew. She was why Adelaide was able to stand here today. "Wonderful job, Lior, and thank you for your help. That will be all for now." With a nod, the snowy woman would dismiss her and turn to see who had entered the scene. Three new wolves had come to the lesson, and Adelaide didn't even mind that they were late. She turned a welcoming smile to them and nodded at the words Maximous spoke. "Yes, we have only just begun the lesson. Please feel free to come and participate." One wolf was Isidora, a member of Ebony who - to her knowledge - had no prior herb experience. But that didn't matter. Now she could learn. The other new student was Callisto, the young woman that Maximous was teaching. She instantly moved to his side, her expression a bit wary. But she could be of help as well. Lastly, there was the High Lord himself. Vaughan. The white female gave a little grin, her blue eyes shining happily as he greeted her. She always enjoyed his company. "Good morning, Vaughan. I'm honored that you would care to observe the lesson. Just make yourself comfortable." Feeling confident in his abilities to make himself at home, Adelaide would turn away from the High Lord and once more speak to the students that had gathered. Hajime remained quiet, but none could blame him. "To those of you who have just arrived, I assigned Miss Lior the task of organizing these herbs into groups. Now that she has done so, let me name a few of them to you." She would gesture with her paw, pointing at each pile in turn. Luckily most of the groups consisted of the same species. Nothing would be too complicated. Her small white foot hovered over the cluster of dark berries first. "These are called elderberries. They are normally used to strengthen the immune system, but can also aid in respiratory problems. The patient must ingest only the berries, however, as the bark and root of the plant can be known to cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Nobody wants that ," She added with a light smile, moving to the next herb. She didn't want to bore them with too many facts, but it was important that they know the basic information. Her paw now touched a pile of brightly colored blossoms. "Most of you will recognize these. They are quite common," she explained, nodding at the flowers. "These are known as marigold. Their petals can be applied to minor burns, cuts, and insect stings. I have also seen them chewed up to help ease gum and throat pain. Any questions so far?" The woman glanced at Maximous, the look in her eyes giving him permission to add any information he may have wished to. She had no problem with him helping her out. He was more experienced than the other students, and was the only other member to call himself a Sola Knight. She would not take over completely. They could be a team in this... especially now that Elsa had passed. Walk. "Talk." Think. |
