Recovery

Maximous could practically feel the irritation radiating off of Callisto when he told her that she had to find the plant herself. As with everything he knew that she wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible so that she could move on to the next lesson. Her impatient want for knowledge seemed to constantly lead her to some form of aggravation yet her determination to learn and the knowledge that everything he did in a lesson had a purpose kept her from arguing with him. It was that very determination that he admired.

Slowly he could see the irritation of having to find the plant herself melt away. With every inhale and exhale, with every step closer to the herb and every glance back at him to make sure he was still at her side, her previous impatience would fade away. Turning her head from one side to the next she would confirm that the Valerian Root was ahead rather than to her left or right yet with a few more feet forward she would move slightly to their left and a smile would tug at the corners of his lips.

The closer they got, the more Max wanted to give it away, yet he would deny himself the pleasure for a better one soon to come. The better reward would be that of the joy that his student would radiate once her find was confirmed when she asked rather than having him find it first. And indeed moments after she lowered her nose closer to the ground, much like a tracker might, it came into view and her eyes would meat his. Her voice would come asking for conformation just as her entire facial expression would.

A smile would finally cover his maw giving away his answer before his voice could project his conformation into the air around them yet he would still give her a verbal answer. "Yes, that is it. Well done, Callisto." he would pause only for a moment and then ask a question of his own "Shall we investigate it further?"
