Vein nodded easily He voice rumbled rhythmically “Oh tea is very easy Mi’Lady, We take the warmest water we can get and drop certain dried herbs into the water, once the herbs have steeped for 5 minutes we can remove the herbs or just drink around them. There are so many flavours one can achieve with tea and mixing different herbs and so many different health benefits depending on the herbs that I shall not bore you with the details unless you wish it” His passion for the subject bled through in his words and the bright light that shone in his eyes he’d go over the technical side of herbs all day if he were allowed.

He glanced back down at her once they decided where to go and he saw the minute changes in her body, the subtle body shift, the slight glance downward the tenseness in the muscles. He frowned even as he watched her resolve firm and wondered if he should ask.

Vein lead the way to the caves at an easy pace not in a rush to get there, for the sooner they explored the sooner they’d part ways. He looked at Aerin then to their destination “Humm… I wonder if there are Glowworms in those caves. They are like fireflies but they live only in caves, the give off light. It’d be nice  to have their help just don’t eat them they’ll make your tummy ache” Vein chuckled softly. “I made that mistake as a youngling, mum brought me to the caves to look for rare healing herbs and we found these glowing bugs, of course they were so fun to hunt and jump at. Needless to say I needed help that night with a cramping belly, that was the day I learned of teas”


Vein’s nostalgic smile soon faded “I miss my mother” he whispered almost inaudibly
