Sunbeam Lair Playing with Plants

The answer came quick, and was then followed up by several more names. Asterr recognized each one, but knew not if they'd all be available within the lair. She'd not searched for them in particular before, and was therefore unable to say for sure if all—or any, for that matter—thrived within their home. "I am not positive as to whether or not we will be able to locate all of those here within the lair," the yearling stated, not wishing to elevate the girl's hopes with something that remained unconfirmed. "We will travel beyond the borders another day, so do not fret if we do not get to all of those in this exact moment." A smile never left her lips as she spoke, for the situation was casual and one that she rather enjoyed. It would be an exhilarating task, that much she was certain of, and could not help but look forward to serving the role of a mentor.

A fleeting image had crossed through her mind, then, of a flower she'd seen in passing. Though, at the time, she'd done little investigating, there was a possibility that it was chamomile. Since that had been the first word the younger girl had answered with, Asterr believed it only fitting that they begin with it. Thankfully, the chieftess had a decent idea of where she'd seen the small cluster of plants, and wasted no time in leading the living ember towards it. Of course, she'd naught said a single word in regards to where they were heading, since she'd yet to confirm the plant's species. If it was not what they were looking for, then she didn't want to say otherwise and then be made to look like a fool later on. No, not a word left her mouth until she'd spotted the plant and had managed to confirm it's name—Matricaria chamomilla, just what they'd been looking for.

It was within a small meadow that they grew, away from the crowding trees and beneath an opening in the ceiling overhead. Sunlight shone down unto it, bathing it in the riches of golden hues as the petals were warmed. "Never will you find these within a dense forest," Asterr began, nodding towards the grouping of pale flowers. "They require an open space to grow, such as within meadows and fields. A space like this, where the sun can easily reach them, is the ideal location to search if ever in need of chamomile." They were just the same as any flower that thrived within the meadow, the only difference being the medical properties they possessed. "They are relatively simple to identify. Tell me, which of it's characteristics are most prominent to you when you look upon one of these flowers?" Naturally, she was curious, for everyone could see the same thing in a different way.
