Sunbeam Lair Playing with Plants

Edit; Tacked an ending onto this. Mild PP.

Asterr remained silent as the younger studied the plant, looking it over with what was believed to be interest. It was still new to her, the role of a mentor, but she was steadily coming to terms with it. Like those that had come before her, it was time to share the knowledge bestowed upon the dragoness, even if the one learning was not of Draconid blood. Presently, though, that did not matter, for the lessons involving plants could be taught by anyone. It was her culture, her beliefs, that could not be shared as of yet, or perhaps even ever. Time would tell, but for the time being she'd let such thoughts drift to the farthest reaches of her mind. Flora was the topic, not the dragons, and so attentive she would remain. She was alert, so much so that she'd caught the question effortlessly, but had not been given the necessary span of time in which she could reply within. Rather, the ember had continued to speak, voicing her findings—or lack thereof—and sharing her distress. It was quick that the yearling intervened, however, wishing to put a stop to her untrue notions before they caused any unwanted trouble.

"All around us grow plants with roots that reach deep into the earth," she began, motioning towards the trees. "The roots of the trees are sturdy, their lives forever intertwined with the earth. It is in areas that lack their presence where the soil is loose, but for as long as the trees live, the earth will not crumble around us." If the trees stood tall, then they were fine. It was in barren places where concern was most needed, for such locations could lead to dangerous predicaments. Within the lair, though, such events would not come into play, for around them thrived the lives of hundreds. It was with such knowledge that she feared nothing, for the earth would never crumble from beneath them for as long as the roots remained.

It was with that last tidbit that the dragoness chose to then end their lesson, informing the other that they might continue with more come the following days. For the time being, however, the younger girl was dismissed and sent on her way, while Asterr went on then the give the woods a quick patrol. Truthfully, she looked forward to having with Sorrel future lessons, but until then she would wander and maintain the lives of the plants.
