Another day, Another lesson

Walk | Talk | Think

If she had been the type to do it, Callisto might have rushed forward to give her mentor a quick nuzzle of appreciation. She was truly grateful for his attention that he had been giving her, how he had been able to notice just by observing her that she had a secret wish to learn not just about the plants that were most helpful but those that were most deadly as well. He really was a great instructor, better even than she had imagined him being at first. And strangely she was glad to know him, glad to consider him one of the few friends that she possessed.

Rather than get all mushy, however, she was quick to throw herself into her newest lesson, earning a positive answer to the question she had asked. Unexpectedly she smiled, not a little hint as was most typical but an actual smile that even reached upward into her silvery blue eyes. Maybe it was just the new subject of their lesson but she felt considerably more happy with herself for having guessed right, and even more happy with all the further instructions she was going to get from Maximous. This was by far her most favorite lesson yet.

Just a little her eyes narrowed as she set her gaze upon the plants again, scanning over them as she tried to decide which to pick as the first one to go over. Psilocybin, Kava, Yarrow, she thought, still thinking quietly to herself before she finally leaned forward to tentatively nose a little closer to one plant in particular, the white-flowered Jimson Weed. Once again her nose crinkled slightly and she drew back a little, turning her intensely curious stare back upon Max. "This one. You said it's Jimson Weed?" Callisto asked, hoping she had the order of the plants right.
