just one more time

Cicero did not understand why Burke would not take him to herbs, like Meldresi would. She would fight, she would protect, she would hunt, but she would also fix herbs. As Burke got angry, Cicero pouted unhappily, though he did grow quiet for a little while. He did not know what was expected of him now, not sure if he should wait for Burke to speak again or if he should get out of the water and go home like he was instructed in the first place.

"Burke takes Cicero to herbs?" he tried, his voice less demanding this time, head tilted because he did not know if the question would sit well with Burke, or if Burke would do nothing but take him home.
