Happy to, Speedy replied with a smile. When Wraen asked her about any stories she might have, she twisted her mouth in thought for a minute, a small, Hmm..., escaping her lips as she considered what story would be best.

There is one story that always sticks out when I think back to all the things I helped my mom with, Speedy began excitedly. It happened when she first starting teaching me about herbs. A yearling had come back from his first solo tracking mission but was acting completely out of his mind--yelling at us that there were spiders crawling all over him. My mom managed to get him to his family's den and gave him some Lavender. It really didn't help much, but after a couple hours, he became more aware again. It took a couple days to figure what happened, but he finally remembered grooming a couple seeds from his paw about an hour before he started hallucinating. My mom and I went searching the outskirts of our pack lands and ended up finding Night Shade in a few spots. We carefully destroyed the plants, and my mom said he was very lucky because had eaten much more, he could have died. It was satisfying to not know originally how to help but to be able to piece everything together eventually. She smiled when she finished her story, falling silent to see if Wraen had anything to add.
