Sleepy Fox Hollow this goes beyond me, beyond you

There was a significant dearth of herbs during the winter, which made Elfie's discovery that much more exciting. Maegi smiled widely as the boy turned to her with a clump of moss in his mouth, nodding at his question. That's great, Elfie! she exclaimed softly, nosing at the greenery.

This is moss, she explained, turning her gaze up to Elfie's face while still keeping her muzzle pressed against the plant. It soaks up water—and blood. You can use it to stop bleeding when someone gets hurt.

She wished she could demonstrate the incredible healing power of moss to Elfie, but it would require, alas, a wound. Perhaps one day, he'd see it in action (hopefully used successfully). This will be great to bring back to Mahler, Maegi praised, lifting her head with the moss clutched gently between her teeth. Shall we look fuh muh? she mumbled through the mouthful, eyes bright.
