Winter was beginning to give way to spring and Callisto watched it all eagerly. Spring was one of the best seasons for healers. It was when all the cold from the winter months began to disappear and the earth to warm, inviting new growth in the plants that had fallen dormant and hidden away from the chill. All around Alacriticia new blooms, new stalks, would be jumping up, and of all different sorts of plants across the spectrum. She might have been newly recovered, still a little tentative about her health, but she had already spent too long holed up in her den. She had already begun work on fixing up the stores of plants that she kept inside her den, and she had every intention of finishing that soon.
Starting with the plants that were responsible for her good health. She had been watching closely when she had begun her walks to get the strength back in her legs, scouting before she could collect where the likeliest places to find new growths would be, and she had some ideas. Max and Adelaide had shown her the Valerian Root plant after she had gotten well and on her own she had found a new sprig of it, and quietly she had tended to it so that she could gather it for herself once it was fully grown. She traveled that way now, lean grey legs carrying her thin black frame along in a swift, sneaking trot from her den upon the Steppe to the Rock Garden, and with her silvery blue eyes watching for others she hurried to the plant.
It grew in a little secluded niche with a few stubborn weeds, somewhat sheltered beside one of the many rocks that stood sentinel within the Garden but still within the reach of sunlight. That sunlight seemed to have been doing it some good, melting the snow and adding a bit of fuel to its growth spurt. She could already see an improvement. And yet it was still too small, not yet ready for use as she had been shown. It would have to be left for a little longer yet. Callisto sighed, her dark brow furrowing with disappointment, and with a quiet sigh she sat down looked around grumpily. Now what was she going to do?
