Random Weather Event

Healing Event
A torrential downpour sweeps across the garden. Occasionally there is a break in the rain, but the thick, dark cloud cover always remains - like a promise or a threat. Thunder rolls in the distance. Between the sheets of rain, a riot of herbs, plants, and assorted greenery have sprung up as if overnight. You’re absolutely certain that you’ve never seen these sorts of plants here. Actually, you’re positive that some of them only grow in the far north of Boreas in early spring… and that one over there is definitely only found off the coast in tropical climates. If you’re quick about it, you might be able to take home some herbs that aren’t easily found anywhere else.

Jane was impressed by the heavy rain that fell over her face as she walked through the garden, thundering roaring at the distance. Threatening, loud. But even though she knew the risks, she didnt want to miss the chance. a chance that not all the time presented itself like this. A sea of exotic herbs were everywhere. She wanted to get some with her. She had come with her Lion mane cape to perhaps use it as an improvised bag. Since she didnt have a real one she was forced to use it like that. Slowly she walked across the fields, foraging for herbs that might be useful should she be able to bring them with her. "" |

This was further than Crux had ever gone before, and the boy had to admit it was a bit of a struggle to get this far, the going was slow and his mother often called for them to rest, carefully roving all over him and poking and prodding. But they were heading down south because he was about to have more nieces and nephews and his mother was clearly worried about them. Crux wasn't complaining about getting to explore.
He was complaining about the rain. They'd been suddenly set upon by the appearance of the storm and after sheltering for some time he'd poked his head out to see the verdant garden that had sprung to life. With permission from his parents, the boy bound into the field, romping amongst the greenery and haphazardly picking plants that looked interesting to him, tearing them from the ground without the gentle care he'd eventually learn!

She was quite in her steps, and as she had found herself too focused on the foraging that she havent noticed the woman before. She would never purposely ignore someone. She loved to talk to others, the only way she would miss someone would be by mistake. Never willingly. She finally spotted those she had never seen before, making sure of course that those weren't poisonous. She picked then for then tossing them into her improvised pouch, not too rough to mess them up. One by one, slowly and having no need to rush. While she did, she was finally able to listen to the surroundings. Stepping noises brought her away from the task in paw. Another woman, a fellow healer she had to guess. But not only she was here, a young pup aswell. "Oh!" He was indeed a cute one, well all pups were cute weren't they? "Indeed!" She smiled while she looked at them, caught by the older wolf's discovering. "What did cha got there?" Respectfully she didnt try it without asking permission first. Even if she was dying to find what she was doing. "My name is Jane Adravendi! How may I call you both?" Friendly as always. "" |

Crux was lucky that everything around him had been totally safe to stuff into his mouth. He hadn't swallowed anything (on purpose, and what he had fully ingested was Agrimony, he'd have some superb bowel movements later) and instead had more than a few of the brightest plants he'd spotted gripped in his little jaw. So wrapped up in his romp the boy hadn't even realized he wasn't alone and when a voice lifted, calling out to him and another wolf he quickly glanced back at his parents who were herding the rest of his siblings, his mother looking up at the noise and looking at the strangers but otherwise seemed unbothered. They were close to the castle his sister was the queen of so it was probably pretty safe.
"It ish!" Crux said around his mouthful of plants, taking more tentative steps towards the pair, very aware of his limp suddenly now that he was standing in front of strangers. He made his way towards the two women, keeping an ear out for his parents to call him back but his curiosity getting the better of him. He watched as one of them carefully removed a plant he didn't recognize (he didn't recognize most of them to be fair) and the speckled woman asked what she'd found before asking their names. "Cruksh Fatalish." He said struggling to keep himself from drooling considering his mouth was so full. Finally, he dropped his bundle at his paws, it was probably better to talk without his mouth full. "Crux Fatalis." He repeated more clearly this time, the entire time his gaze never moved from the way the unknown woman dug up her prize, the way she handled it. Crux learned best by watching, listening, and copying and he couldn't know it but he was already learning a skill he'd need soon enough just from observing the way the other two women moved around the garden.

"Lovely names!" She said to the two of them, saving both names into her memories. There was nothing better than finding new faces, new wolves to talk to. Even if it had the possibility of being a one time interaction. For that she didnt waste time, and went righ into enjoying any short time with those she might wouldnt see again. "Oh! Let me see then." She searched for a similar plant, until she found one. But she did not taste it right away, she never stuck her tongue in anything she didnt know, she had the wish to tast it but there is when her senses came into action. "Fatalis! Oh yes, I know of one. Briar the queen of my pack shares that name!" She commented. For then looking at Kiliaen. "I am indeed!" And the name Balthier was quick to jump into her mind. "" |

Jane and Kiliaen, Crux nodded and filed the women's names away and listened as they talked. He cocked his head to the side and looked at his own pile of plants, and idly wondered what he'd gathered up. But the mystery of the plant the two adult women were investigating had caught his attention but he knew even less than they did so he simply watched them with wide eyes. It was when Kiliaen asked Jane if she was from the Hallows that he perked slightly, that was the pack his sister was the queen of! He nodded as Jane affirmed she was by then commenting that she recognized his name from Briar. "She's my older sister!" He said, puffing his chest out a little. He wasn't queen but if they were siblings didn't that make him a prince... Sort of? Not that it mattered, his father was the former warlord of the Armada and that by itself already gave him some status.
Then the attention was pulled back to his own herb pile and Crux felt a little heat flood his face, he didn't like to admit that he didn't know what he'd gotten, he pushed his pile around a little separating the herbs so they were easier to see. A sprig of tillium, an unswallowed bundle of agrimony, some fumitory and one really big marigold flower. "I don't know." He admitted bashfully. "I grabbed the pretty ones, but I know sometimes they can do things." He meant that plants could be used to treat illnesses or injuries, he'd learned a little from Halo but didn't really have a basis of knowledge to begin to even guess.

The rain increases into a downpour that shields you from one another. The thunder that had been rumbling in the distances growls menacingly as lightning roils through the dark clouds. Suddenly, one of those bolts of lightning slashes down through the rain to strike the ground in front of you. When your eyes clear, you are surprised to see that not only has it stopped raining in an instant, the clouds are clearing away and the sun shines brightly to reveal a statue has appeared in the midst of the riot of herbs. "Appears" being the operative word, as you know for sure that it was not there! A large number of some odd, but friendly looking critters are tending to it with the sort of confident bustle that makes it seem as though they've always been there.
