Another day, Another lesson

The man sat patiently as he waited for Callisto to arrive. He had known she would not make him wait long as she always seemed to rush to him when he called her. Always she would arrive smile free but with a strong spark of interest showing through her eyes.

She would not prove him wrong today as she would arrive a short amount of time after he called her. A smile would not curve her lips as it would most excited and interested wolves. However she was not most wolves, but rather an individualized young she wolf who, upon her arrival had almost instantly switched her attention from him to the herbs laying on the ground in front of him.

He would give her a smile and wait silently as she investigated the new herbs as though she had never seen or smelled anything like them. She would ask a question and he would get out nothing more than a "Yes." before she would ask what the plants were. "Some are herbs, some are mild poisons that are nothing more than a mind paralyzer. And by that I mean they cause delusions." he would half answer her question.

Looking from her to the plants at his paws he would list them in the order he had placed them on the ground. "Alder Buckthorn, Periwinkle, Ayahuasca, Jimson Weed, Psilocybin, Salvia, Khat, Kava, Cannabis, and Yarrow are the plants you see here."
