Another day, Another lesson

Walk | Talk | Think

The girl's grey legs carried her hurriedly along from the Steppe where her den was located to the territory surrounding the lake, eagerness about her swift gait. There was particular reason for her to hurry when it was Maximous, her teacher and friend, that called to her, knowing that once she reached him something new and exciting would be taught to her about this plant or that one, things that would further her training in becoming a full-fledged healer at the end of it all. His lessons were always the highlight of her day, even if she did not manage to express it in the most obvious of ways. But after so long of being his pupil she was sure the man was already becoming familiar enough with her little idiosyncrasies to know when she was happy or content or frustrated.

And now she was quite excited despite it not being plastered to her face in the form of a smile. It was within her eyes, however, her silvery blue gaze alert and searching even before she reached the place where the dark healer stood. She slowed as she drew nearer, her interested stare roaming from him to the plants that she could see upon closer inspection set in a purposeful line at his paws. She counted them, curious, and drew her brow into a frown that full of intrigue and interest. "Another lesson?" she asked when finally she drew to a stop, standing opposite the man with the plants still in their line between them. Upon closer inspection, they were nothing that she immediately recognized, nothing that she could recall any familiarity with. A new lesson entirely? "What are these?" she asked, hardly giving him a chance to speak as she lowered her muzzle and hovered it over the plants to sniff at them tentatively. Such odd scents... Her nose wrinkled a little as she drew back, her gaze meeting Max's once more.
