Nodding, she received the herbs and then set them gently down in the pile. Stepping back a little to see how much they had collected so far, she retraced her pictographic memory, trying to recall what other herbs she needed. We have juniper and coltsfoot... Golden rod stock is pretty good, and there's burdock, watermint, poppy seeds, and now thyme. But out catnip stalk is low because Leaf-bare already passed... Hmmm.... I can gather some more in Leaf-fall. Now would be too early and they would eventually rot. I have tansy, plenty of cobwebs, alfalfa, celandine, chervil, feverfew... Her eyes widened as she realized an essential Green-leaf herb that she had not yet collected. Nettle, of course! Everyone is getting some kinda of Green-leaf allergy or is walking into poison ivy nowadays. Blinking, she turned her head sideways to speak to Thrushstar. "Alright, that should be enough thyme. You don't have to come if you don't want to, but I need some neetle, so I'm going farther into the woods." Smiling appreciatively, she began trotting into the undergrowth, weaving between the trees as she scented the air and scanned the forest in search of a good nettle patch. She wasn't sure any cats would want to go looking for the prickly plants with her, but she needed them, especially for kits who went wandering off into camp and touching things they weren't supposed to.
