Herbalists' Cache Bound by Symmetry

The search for more medicinal herbs and plants pushed the duo even further into the depths of the Herbalist's Cache. But, despite Reek's enthusiasm, he had yet to see another plant that would prove of use. However, the show must go on!  He led Scarlett through the forest at a quick pace, but he was sure she could handle herself. She had done just fine for the rest of their session.  

He turned his head toward Scarlett as he walked and she spoke. "I was taught by my mother,"  he began.  A warm smile spread across Reek's face as fond memories flooded back. The time he had spent with her had been the only happy time of his childhood. But these memories were a double edged sword... they only made her absence so much more painful. "She was brilliant— taught me most everything I know.  The rest... well, I learned through more practical application."
