Herbalists' Cache A stranger

So he was accustom to the scent of Lavender. Something Pema was happy to hear. Perhaps her familiarity with the plant caused her to miss the scent of the flowers at first. Or perhaps with her pregnancy, the scent of the berries was too overwhelming to distinguish the scent of lavender. But either way, she let him lead the way and followed closely behind.

As they walked he asked what made her become a medic, rather politely, which she expected due to the beginning of their conversation.  "Well. I knew a little bit about it from seeing the adults in my birth pack do a few things. But I didn't really start practicing medicine until I joined a pack. They really needed help in that department and always seem to be magnets for pain. So it stuck." she explained.

Before long they had arrived at a small lavender bush. She joined him in making a smile pile of the flowers. When she asked how much she wanted she replied, "Just a mouthful, I wouldn't want to have to make two trips. Plus it would be good to leave some behind so it can grow back." she answered.
