Herbalists' Cache Bound by Symmetry

Scarlett instantly backed off once she heard the name of the plant. Her red eyes turned with a bit of panic to Reek. Was it wrong to trust him? Was this a poison? She relaxed once he said that it wasn't that bad, in those hundreds of a second Scarlett had a mild moment of panic. She mesmerized the shape and scent, still a bit wary of it. Her red eyes looked a bit confused and sad at the same time as she didn't understand... "Expecto?," she mumbled after him, not knowing this word. She felt like she should know?

The simplified version with the explantation worked better for her. "So I could have used this root when you had the flu?," she asked, just to be sure. Reek was coughing at the time. Why didn't he tell her to get this one, she could have made him better sooner. She watched how Reek carefully took the plant out, and then focussed on the root. "Okay, so only the root," she spoke, parroting him like a pup learning to talk. For her it was just a way to remember. She watched the root by her feet, her head ducked a bit as Reek sounded so positive about her. Though, this really didn't feel comforting because now she felt even more pressure to do things okay and without failure. "So we take this one with us?," she asked quietly, not sharing his enthusiasm just yet.
