Sunbeam Lair A Casual Stroll Through The Woods

A glance had been thrown his way every now and again, checking to make sure that he was following. Never had he attempted to sneak away, keeping pace with the girl instead. Silence had settled over them—briefly—which she'd found to be comfortable. Yet, even though it'd been disturbed, she was not bothered. When moments such as the previous arrived, she found herself able to enjoy them, but not always were they missed after fading away. His question was considered, an answer forming, which hadn't been spoken until after he'd warned her of his lack of knowledge. When she was sure that he'd finished speaking, the girl answered his question with, "Burdock root, primarily. As for the rest, I will be deciding what is needed as we move along." She knew of how her caches looked, knew of what needed replenished, but had chosen to leave the majority of it for another day. For the time being, they were to seek out the burdock, and then collect anything of interest, or need, that might be spotted along the way.

The statement hadn't been addressed right away, her attention having been directed elsewhere as a plant was inspected. Gray had not been called forth in order to harvest it, for the chieftess' gaze had returned back to the space ahead of them. "It is fine that you do not know anything," was her eventual response to his statement. "I will tell you what to harvest and how to do so correctly." She knew that he could follow instructions, and so naught a moment more was given to the topic. Rather, her pace had increased slightly, only to then slow back down until a stop was achieved. Before the dragoness there grew a collection of burdock, several plants having decided to battle for the same piece of land. Forward was the male called, a simple gesture having been used instead of her voice. "You will need to follow the stem towards the earth, and then dig just deep enough so that you are able to grab hold of and pull from the earth the roots," Asterr instructed. "Do not swallow any of them." She needed them for her stocks, and didn't wish for any to be lost; already was it assumed that many might be damaged given his lack of experience, but that was something that could not be avoided, and so she'd simply accepted it.
