when the busy bee gathers

Cascade was running low on some important herbs, which wasnt surprising because someone was always fighting, so she had sent Evangeline to see if she could find any growing yet this spring. There werent many that she could recognize growing yet, but there were two that she had down pretty good that Cascade thought she should be able to find - plantain and dandelion. She set off without much pouting (only the bare minimum) because she was a lady now and too mature for that. Except when Angel picked on her which was ALWAYS of course. She decided against the weird shadowy forest that bordered one side of Imperium, choosing instead the much less mucky, much less creepy river land. She was bound to find dandelions in this bright, sunny, happy looking place, and much less likely to be eaten by the scary monster they had always been told lived there. Not that she believed it or anything of course... she just didnt like it there. Meandering through the spring sunlight, the girl's coat shining with violet and bright slate highlights, she sought quite earnestly for the two herbs she had been sent for.
