Jade Fern Grove won't stop the pain, but she'll smell like fabreez

Ocra stared at him for a moment when he responded, unsure what to say. Surely not all herbs reacted poorly with him but he seemed adamant about it and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to push more. If she could find a way that would prevent him from waking her up in the middle of the night, she would much prefer it, or at least find someone else for him to pester.

“What about one you don’t have to ingest? One you could just… smell instead. Aromatherapy.”

Surely that would be less scary to try and the most it might cause is a headache in which he could move away for it to clear. Not that lavender or chamomile were toxic to him or would cause any problems—none that she’d ever seen—and she sighed heavily once he made his next request. Ocra nodded her head but she didn’t know what else to do to keep him awake when her own eyes struggled to stay open.
