Blackfeather Woods whispers through the trees

He really didn't answer questions they were meant to be answered, that was for sure. At least he was better company than Nemesis. She chuckled softly at the thought. Never had she dreamed about walking along the bi-colored eyed boy in Blackfeather Woods she had met all those moons ago. She had not planned seeing him till after the pups were born, for leaving Phantom Hollow was out of the question back then. Yet here they were, a Gamma and an unwanted one, together on a search for herbs. She didn't feel it necessary to ask more about the tree, for the answer was weird but to the point. Though she still wondered what part of a tree was the most important. The trunk? It's roots?

After her question, he kept quiet for some time, letting her believe he had indeed gone sick because of the gasses. Or perhaps he was teasing her, who could tell with him? Though when his answer came, it again didn't answer her question specifically. Herbs could be anywhere, and she had no idea how it all went underground nor how to get there. Burke had said it'd be wise to not go there alone, but if Cicero was with her... Did she trust him not to leave her behind to get lost? Yeah, yeah she did. Underground? She questioned. She wanted to know more, but if he kept his answers vague she would keep her questions vague as well. Her eyes darted from right to left, looking for anything green, but all she saw was really small trees with a weird disk-like thing on them. Huh, weird.
