Herbalists' Cache dove diving

Ashlar was troubled as well. He didn't let his worries affect his interactions amongst the Rise, but when he was alone and gathering he could take the moment to linger on them.

This hollow was a good place to collect certain plants that did not grow in the less lush expanses of home. He plucked a particular sprig, humming absently to himself, when he heard the telltale sign of another nearby. He ceased his humming and his ear rotated as he curiously listened.

Were they here for the same reason? Ashlar left his plants where he could find them and went to find out. He didn't wish to disturb them, but it would be better to let them know he meant them no harm.
