Snowforest Taiga living without you

Her tongue dragged across her nose, not that it helped. She made a point to shake her head as if that might clear the scent, which it didn't. The boy's comments made her nod though. 

Smelly green thing, yep, you're gonna go far kid, she grumbled to herself. There were many uses for mint but she didn't know what to tell him, if anything would stick or if it was worth it at all. A good find. If you eat the garlic and get smelly, maybe the green leaf will fix it. Wanna try?

More likely, the flavors would mingle on his palate and make his breath quite ripe; but it wasn't an issue for Stryx, since she could escort him home (wherever that was) and let his parents deal with it (whoever they were). It was the perfect experiment. For now, the fiddleheads were forgotten.
