Teach Me

To her comment he would have a small one of his own "Indeed it is." He was interested to know the young girls opinion on his teachings. When she gave a small reassurance that the way he was teaching was fine and that she would pick up on it brought forth a nod from the dark man. He wanted her to know everything she wanted to know, and he would do everything he could to make sure that happened.

She would then go on to make a guess at both plant and name. Though she was correct he wondered if she remembered he had given her the names of the plants in the order of which they were laying on the ground. "Correct, but Callisto, I want you to keep in mind that I have already given you the names of each of the plants here. The only question is, did I name them in the order of which they are on the ground?

He would wait a moment to let the small hint sink in before he began listing facts of the Marigold. "The petals can be applied topically to heal burns and cuts, as well as insect bites and stings. This is only the main use as the other way it can be used is to be chewed. Chewing this plant helps to ease gum pain and sore throats. They are found in moist, loamy soils, particularly in tropical areas as this is were they grow the best."

Maximous would once again take a moment to allow her to go over all the facts in her mind so that she would better retain them. She had only three more plants in the small group he had with him to learn. She had at first skipped over the Meadowsweet, Marigold, Earth Smoke/Fumitory and stopped at the Dandelion before ever making it to the Alfalfa. For her second choice, she went backwards and skipped over the Earth Smoke/Fumitory and gone strait to the Marigold.

"If you wish you can attempt to name the last three and I will give you the facts to all of them in the order you name them. Or, we can continue with the last three herbs as we began. he would sit silently as he awaited to hear her choice.
