As he started to drink, she moved to fetch the herbs for him in turn. Cinnamon bark should do the trick. Ideally she’d offer peppermint but she hadn’t been able to find any.

Towhee and Germanicus chased him off but unfortunately he got away. I thought Towhee was going to kill him if I were honest. It was a little terrifying I've never seen her so serious.” She stated, purposefully leaving out the mention of who had attacked her.
