Lil Cinnamon : hello your Majesty
Marilina smiles at the teacher
Julala Demina: don’t you all look just adorbs
Marilina sticks her tongue to Bryt
Fearne observes Mari and Dixie and the teacher, as someone watches a tennis match
Brytestar : hi your highness!
Julala Demina: Hello everyone 🙂
Lil Cinnamon : don’t they look adorable
Marilina : greetings Queen Julala
Julala Demina: absolutely
Fearne smiles bright “hiii misses yours highnesses”
Lucian tries to hide a look of shock (and possibly faint horror) as it flashes across his face.
Lil Cinnamon : Are you alright, Lucian?
Humormii whimpers softly and tries to wipe the taste off her tongue
Fearne smiles so much as she sees Mille and gestures for her , that she could take a table next to her
Mille : Hello Mis Cinny!
Mille : squeee hi Feare!
Lil Cinnamon : Hello Mille!
Marilina turns her head as she listens to some type of noise coming out of Fearne’s backpack
Mille : Fearne
Lil Cinnamon : kids you have exactly minutes to finish snacks and put them away…. in case you have any…. *looks at Fearne and giggles*
Marilina whispers to Mille “don’t bump the table or the teacher will give you time out”
Mille ‘s eyes go wide and she nods at Mari.
Lil Cinnamon looks up at the sky as the clouds move away…
Lil Cinnamon : wow the sun came out
Brytestar nibbles the last piece of spicy jerky and zips up her pouch
Brytestar : is spring time finally! sunshines!
Lil Cinnamon : very appropriate for our class
Lil Cinnamon counts kids…. ok.. I think we have one more table for Mae….
Persi: Blessed be everyone
Mille munches the last of her popcorn and settles down and looks around
Lil Cinnamon : hello Persi, join us please
Fearne feels her face flush red, and hurries like a lot to look down at her fiddling fingers, and then peeking over her shoulder at her pet.. “shhhhs beee quitess.. I told you to beehave”
Lil Cinnamon starts writing on the blackboard, meanwhile Mae arrives…
Marilina raise her paw
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari?

Mille waves excitedly to Kumi!
Kumi Kiyori waves as she trots to an empty desk
Humormii hugs Kumu and MaeMae
Fearne fiddles with the paper on the table.. bends and unbends the edges carefully
Lil Cinnamon : Alright… good afternoon class. Welcome to our first herbalism class in Centauria
Marilina : good afternoon teacher
Mae Avalon-Sinnach takes up a place in the back to listen and take notes but where the little ones can see.
Mille : afternoon Miz Cinny
Persi brushes off all the stuff off her desk… it’s so messy
Lil Cinnamon : In this class we are going to learn about different types of herbs and their properties, we’ll be learning to make herbal preparations – don’t drop that Persi – starting with the very basic and simple ways, and we’ll later on in further classes get to more intricate salves and potions. so now… *points at the blackboard* who can tell me what an herb is??
Marilina : me

Kumi Kiyori slumps while hiding giggle in her hand
Fearne laughs and raises hand

Mille grins
Lil Cinnamon : and Dixie? do you know what an herb is?
Fearne: ” a pretty flower?” she more ask it than answer
Humormii: stares at her paper in bewilderment
Lil Cinnamon : um… it can be a pretty flower
Brytestar : i fink its a plant but you can EATS it
Lil Cinnamon : hahaha true… that too
Mille : oh like a carrot?
Marilina starts writing in her notebook
Brytestar : like a leafs
Persi raises hand
Lil Cinnamon : well, herbs are in simple terms
Lil Cinnamon : a plant that enriches our lives, either flavouring our food
Lil Cinnamon : -so we can eat yes-
Lil Cinnamon : maybe miss Mae can tell you more about it
Mae Avalon-Sinnach smiles
Lil Cinnamon : or help us in a meditation, or it an be a ingredient in a perfume, candle or incense
Lil Cinnamon : or as a healing essence in a medicinal tea, salve or potion
Fearne nods and start to draw a carrot, and whispers ” caaarrot” really slowly
Lil Cinnamon : laughs at Fearnel -who can tell me examples of herbs??
Kumi Kiyori waves arm wildly in the air
Mille scribbles in her notebook, attempting to spell the big words
Lil Cinnamon points at the table beside
Marilina raises paw
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari

Fearne laughs
Lil Cinnamon : good!
Mille laffs
Lil Cinnamon : all these are great examples of herbs
Brytestar wags her tail
Persi: parsley and cilantro
Lil Cinnamon : Now, how would you think our ancestors figured out what herbs to select or harvest?
Mille wrinkles nose at hearing cilantro
Brytestar : if they smells good??
Marilina : by tasting them?
Persi: if they tasted good
Mille : tastes good?
Fearne makes big eyes and looks at Persi really impressed
Lil Cinnamon : yes, yes…
Lil Cinnamon : by trial and error definitely
Lil Cinnamon : how else??
Fearne raises a hand
Lil Cinnamon : yes Fearne
Humormii raises hand
Fearne “perhaps their mum and dad had told them” she smiles
Lil Cinnamon : yes Fearne!! by passing the knowledge
Lil Cinnamon : How else, Humi?
Mille raises hand
Humormii: trading with other herds
Lil Cinnamon : hmmmm.. correct, it’s another way of passing our knowledge to others
Mae Avalon-Sinnach lifts a hand, but lets all the little ones go first
Lil Cinnamon : Mille?
Mille : did they read in cookbooks?
Lil Cinnamon : hahahaha yes
Mille smiles big
Fearne smiles at Mille impressed also
Lil Cinnamon : well, our ancestors figured out how to harvest herbs also by OBSERVING the plants that wild animals ate
Mille : oohhhhhhhhh
Lil Cinnamon : also through inspiration and creative thought
Lil Cinnamon : mixing around, experimenting
Lil Cinnamon : and as we mentioned before, by trial and error
Lil Cinnamon : Over time, oral tradition, and later on written documents have accumulated through the years
Lil Cinnamon : and passed on through generations
Fearne “oooh..”
Marilina nods and keeps writing
Lil Cinnamon : In ancient beginnings, one early use of herbs was ritual and magic
Lil Cinnamon : ask any Roonwit *smiles*
Mille notices Mari writing, realizes she forgot to keep up
Lil Cinnamon : As our thought became more intricate, early beliefs evolved into holistic healing
Lil Cinnamon : holistic means “whole”
Lil Cinnamon : write that down
Mille writes wholeistic
Lil Cinnamon : incorporating mind body and spirit, like in india or china
Brytestar nods and writes on her paper
Lil Cinnamon writes the word in the chalkboard
Mille scratches it out, writes HOLISTIC
Brytestar : hoooll…isss tik…. mhmh. gots it
Marilina writes the word down HORRIFIC..scratch…HOLISTIC
Lil Cinnamon : in Africa we find the most diverse herbal traditions, egyptians produced the “EBERS PAPYRUS”, which is a scroll of more than 800 herbal prescriptions that encourage physicians to address the whole person – mind, body and spirit
Fearne stenching her neck to try and see what Mille writes, and looks at her own paper, now even more folded, but with lots of flowers and carrot drawing
Lil Cinnamon : Now…. What types of herbs do we have? I’ll give you an example
Marilina raise paw
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari?
Marilina : teacher can you please reapeat what you just said
Marilina : about 800 smething
Lucian (elfame) dips his quill into an inkpot on his belt and continues writing, the tip making quick scratching motions over the page.
Mille tries to imagine writing things… hopes Miz Cinny doesn’t give that as homework… feels a knot in her belleh
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari
Lil Cinnamon : Egyptians produced a document called “Ebers Papyrus”
Lil Cinnamon : it is a scroll of herbal prescriptions….
Marilina : raise paw
Lil Cinnamon : *slows down*
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari?
Marilina : but is it 800 or 811
Lil Cinnamon : 811 to be exact
Miro raises hand.
Brytestar : so many….
Lil Cinnamon : yes Miro
Lil Cinnamon : yes! imagine all those remedies
Lil Cinnamon : I need that in my library hahah
Mille picks up a stick and starts pushing the little flower on her desk around
Miro : different herbs or different usages?
Lil Cinnamon : different remedies… recipes or prescriptions
Lil Cinnamon : usages
Miro nods
Lil Cinnamon : ok now…
Lil Cinnamon : What types of herbs can we have?
Lil Cinnamon : I start with an example….
Julala Demina: gosh with that many they probably had a cure for stinky goblin…..
Lil Cinnamon : leaves, barks,…. what eelse?
Fearne listens really carefully, and imagines them old wrinkled Egyptians with flowers
Brytestar : flowers!
Kumi Kiyori giggles
Miro snorts
Lil Cinnamon : flowers yes!
Mille : berries?
Kumi Kiyori: Shrooooomies!
Julala Demina laughs
Lil Cinnamon : FRUITS! correct
Mille giggles at Kumi
Lil Cinnamon : yes Kumi!
Mille : seeds!
Lil Cinnamon : seeds!!
Lil Cinnamon : correct
Lil Cinnamon writes on chalkboard
Mille : um um… roots?
Lil Cinnamon : one more we are missing out
Fearne “Vegetables likes them carrots?
Lil Cinnamon : exactly Mille!
Kumi Kiyori: Roots
Lil Cinnamon : omg these kids are so smart
Mille : yeah like a carrot root
Lil Cinnamon : exactly
Lil Cinnamon : Now, how should we harvest our elements??
Lil Cinnamon : This is a very interesting question
Kumi Kiyori: With my hands
Fearne beams a smile, and feels how she most at least have grown inch
Lil Cinnamon : hahahaha
Marilina raise paw
Lil Cinnamon : Mari
Marilina : wearing gloves
Fearne raises a hand
Lil Cinnamon : Fearne
Lil Cinnamon : yes Fearne?
Fearne: uhhm misses teacher, what is an element?”
Lil Cinnamon : any of these here in the list
Fearne “ahhh”
Marilina whispers to Fearne “dun know but say anything”
Brytestar : by…..eats them
Mille raises paw
Lil Cinnamon : For many people, it wouldn’t matter if we take one or ten or a hundred leaves…
Lil Cinnamon : one mushroom or all of them, or harvest a fruit to take the seeds and discard the rest
Lil Cinnamon : However…
Kumi Kiyori GASPS
Mille lowers paw hearing Kumi gasp
Lil Cinnamon : as centaurs we are more attuned with Mother nature, so it is very important to show appreciation for the elements we gather from her
Marilina raise paw
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari
Kumi Kiyori glares through lidded eyes daring anyone to take all her shroomies
Marilina : why discard the rest of the fruit and just keep the seeds, the rest of the fruit tastes good
Brytestar : ooooh….not hurts the thing we take from!!
Lil Cinnamon : exactly Mari
Lil Cinnamon : Yes Bryte!!
Miro: process as much as possible to get the least amount of waste
Mille : and leave some seeds to grow
Lil Cinnamon : yes Miro…
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mille, correct
Fearne nods in a agreement
Kumi Kiyori lets out her breath
Lil Cinnamon : Kumi are you alright?
Kumi Kiyori: I thoughted they gonna take all me shroomies
Lil Cinnamon : nobody will finish all the shroomies, we’ll take care of that *Smiles*
Mille looks at Kumi… “you okay?”
Kumi Kiyori wipes her brow
Lil Cinnamon : Exactly. First of all… when we are harvesting from a plant, a tree or a bush, we never ever kill the Mother plant.
Mille walks over and gives Kumi a pat
Fearne leans forward to look over at Kumi
Kumi Kiyori nods her head emphatically and then hugs Mille
Mille hugs Kumi then goes back to her spot
Lil Cinnamon : As healers, we like to think that we carry our energy towards what we do, and we put that energy through the process and also towards the person that you are trying to heal
Fearne raises a hand again
Lil Cinnamon : yes Fearne
Marilina raise paw
Marilina : teacher Mille and Kumi are playing
Fearne “misses teacher.. can waters also be a herb? or fires?”
Mille thinks about that very hard
Lil Cinnamon : no, Fearne… water is not an herb
Lil Cinnamon : another thing that we mentioned is, try to use the most of what we harvest, and try to waste the less possible
Lil Cinnamon : AND … to ensure that we don’t damage our plants, we never harvest more than 1/3 of the plant, to make sure she’ll be able to regenerate
Fearne “but.. you said element.. and I thought that water was an element” she then flushes read
Lil Cinnamon : ahahah.. oh.. I see.. no, I mean these elements here in the blackboard, I didn’t mean “the” elements
Lil Cinnamon smiles
Kumi Kiyori sticks out her bottom lip……….then is happy again
Brytestar raises a hand
Lil Cinnamon : now… one more question before we get to the fun part of the class…..
Fearne “ahhh..”
Lil Cinnamon : yes Dixie?
Brytestar : what if we need the whole plants?
Lil Cinnamon : well if you need big amounts, what I would suggest is to harvest from more than one plant.. but if you absolutely need the whole plant, you make sure you give it good use, and do not waste anything
Lil Cinnamon : and if possible, save seeds, and maybe go to the garden and plant them
Brytestar nodsnods and writes in her notebook
Lil Cinnamon : to show respect for Mother nature.. always give back
Lil Cinnamon : smiles
Lil Cinnamon : that was a good question pup
Marilina writes down…use plant and don’t recycle
Lil Cinnamon : now… How do we use herbs in a safe manner?
Brytestar wiggles and wags her tail with a happy little bark
Marilina gasps
Mille scribbles about not taking all of a plant, but a little from several ones
Lil Cinnamon : scratch the “don’t” Mari…+
Marilina : I didn’t knew herbs were dangerous
Kumi Kiyori pops her head up and looks in Mari’s direction
Lil Cinnamon : well… what would happen if we go out to the forest and pick up an herb that we don’t know?
Marilina : I throw it to the floor
Mille : might make us sick!
Brytestar whispers (it could make you frow up…. yuckie)
Lil Cinnamon : laughs and facepalms*
Kumi Kiyori: I smells it
Lil Cinnamon : exaclty Mille…
Lil Cinnamon : yep, Bryte
Mille : Ew I hate to frow up… bleh
Lil Cinnamon : so, how do we use herbs safely?
Lil Cinnamon : How do you make sure the herbs you are using are safe?
Marilina thinks how do we use herbs safely
Lil Cinnamon : nope? anyone??
Mille raises paw
Kumi Kiyori: Try a teeny tiney lick?
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mille
Lil Cinnamon : eehh…. yeahhnoope….
Mille : go with a grownup who knows
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mille
Lil Cinnamon : ask first!
Lil Cinnamon : also… harvest from your own plants
Lil Cinnamon : that you know are safe
Kumi Kiyori: Oh yeah so we don’t get a goblin!
Lil Cinnamon : hahahahaha
Lil Cinnamon stares at the Queen
Julala Demina nods
Miro snorts and facepalms
Marilina laughs at Kumi’s comment
Lil Cinnamon : herbs are useful taking the smell out, speaking of XD
Julala Demina: that’s absolutely right
Mille looks wide eyed at Kumi… you get goblins from herbs?
Lil Cinnamon : also, consult in books and notes
Lil Cinnamon : hahahaha
Humormii raises hand
Lil Cinnamon shakes her head
Lil Cinnamon : yes Humi
Marilina : yes the teacher says they are not safe
Kumi Kiyori covers her mouth in a giggle and points at teacher
Humormii: is this another place we watch what animals do?
Lil Cinnamon : several are safe, some are not… but if you dont know what herb you have in front, better ask first
Lil Cinnamon : in the forest, you can
Fearne looks at the teacher, ans hears if Goblins really gives out herbs
Lil Cinnamon : hahahahah I dont know that, Your Majesty, do goblins grow from herbS?
Lil Cinnamon : laughs
Marilina think how she will look as a goblin if she eats a no safe herb
Julala Demina: well…herbs sometimes grow where they’ve been sitting
Fearne looks over at the Queen with wide eyes
Lil Cinnamon : I wonder why.. hmmmm…. XD
Kumi Kiyori eyes grow huge
Mille stares at the Queen…
Lil Cinnamon : I dont want to know
Julala Demina: but that is possibly more to do with the natural fertilizer they produce
Kumi Kiyori: What grows there?
Lil Cinnamon : Alright, lets talk about herbal types of preparations
Julala Demina: well Kumi…..SHROOMS
Kumi Kiyori: Cabbage, cabbage is stinky, that’s what grows there… right?
Fearne starts to draw a goblin, that has a flowers out from his behind
Kumi Kiyori mouth drops open
Kumi Kiyori: Say it isn’t so!
Lil Cinnamon : we have – come on now, kids- … external and internal preparations
Kumi Kiyori waves arm allll around
Lil Cinnamon : external… those that we apply in our skin or fur
Lil Cinnamon : in the hooves
Mille peeks over at Fearne’s picture and busts out in giggles, then stifles immediately
Lil Cinnamon : etcetera
Marilina open wide her eyes as she listens to what the teacher just said
Lil Cinnamon : and internal…. obviously, the ones that we can eat or drink
Marilina raise paw
Lil Cinnamon : yes Mari
Mille : external is outside and internal is inside?
Marilina : are the external the ones we rub on our skin to smell good
Mille blushes realizing she forgot to raise her hand

Miro raises hand
Lil Cinnamon : yes Kumi
Persi raises paw
Mille raises hand
Brytestar raises a hand
Kumi Kiyori: Nettle cream so they don’t sting so much
Lil Cinnamon : creams yes
Lil Cinnamon : Persi
Mille lowers paw as that was her guess
Marilina writes down “external and internal herbs, external rub on paws to smell good , internal I eat as long as they are safe so not to turn into goblin”
Persi: soaps
Mae Avalon-Sinnach looks up from the notes and questions she’s been jotting down on a blank page in Granny Mae’s cookbook at all the chatter about goblins, attempts to cover a grin with her hand only to get ink on the side of her face. puts her hand back down and goes back to writing
Lil Cinnamon : Persi do you have an example?
Persi: yes soaps

Sylvan Fae: steam is good for when you feel…horse
Lil Cinnamon : also, a poultice

Miro keeps his hand up.
Brytestar lifts her paw again
Persi keeps her paw up
Marilina : I do internal preparation when I sit on a rock and think
Kumi Kiyori giggles
Lil Cinnamon : there’s a few others a bit more complex… like a decoction, which is boiling slowly an herb for a long time
Persi waves her paw
Marilina : decorations?
Lil Cinnamon : or a tincture, steep our herb in alcohol or vodka – NOT suitable for you guys
Marilina : oh decoction
Lil Cinnamon : de-coc-tions… *spells it for Mari*

Marilina : writes dow de-coc-tions

Mille raises paw
Fearne smiles hugely “yeees a potion!”
Lil Cinnamon : yes, however a potion can be made of different preparations, but yes
Lil Cinnamon : its a good example
Kumi Kiyori grins at Fearne
Lil Cinnamon : good… NOW…
Fearne “I soo want to make potions one day”
Mille lowers paw… again
Lil Cinnamon : using our creative mind we can make as mamy preparations to create many more things, syrups, candy, gummies, soaps, lotions, and a long etcetera

Lil Cinnamon : hahahahaha
Mille : we gonna smear it on them skeeters so they DIE?
Lil Cinnamon : i hate mosquitoes as well
Lil Cinnamon : no but we’ll *hopefully* keep them away
Julala Demina laughs
Lil Cinnamon : everyone, look over that table
Fearne starts to scratch her arm, as she hears the mention of a mosquito
Lil Cinnamon : There’s several herbs, calendula, arnica, aloe, oats,
Mille cranes to look around Kumi
Lil Cinnamon : what we are going to do , is pick up a few of those ingredients and you will be making your own poultice for mosquito bites
Marilina think how she can use that on the fish to keep mosquitoes away
Mille : they all say they are good for skin stuff
Lil Cinnamon : (( if you sit on the table, you’ll get the animation ))
Lil Cinnamon : you can go and choose your herbs, and with the mortars you’ll grind your herbs to a paste
Fearne stretches her neck again, and looks in the direction, her face lit up in the biggest smiles by the promises of them getting to make something
Lil Cinnamon : a poultice should have the consistency of mud
Lil Cinnamon : so don’t use a lot of water
Lil Cinnamon : once you are done, I’ll give you a jar to store your very first HERBAL PREPARATION *grins big*
Brytestar : we can use anyfing you said?
Lil Cinnamon : yes, anything on that table
Lil Cinnamon writes on blackboard
Marilina grabs some Aloe and Oats
Persi: i don’t get anything
Miro: hmm.. aloe also provides moisture to the skin, no?
Lil Cinnamon : aloe? it has many properties
Brytestar picks up everything by the handful and gives it a good sniff. She adds oats, calendula, a little water, and some aloe to her mortar and squishes it all into a goo
Lil Cinnamon : peeks over Dixie’s shoulder
Lil Cinnamon : that looks good, pup
Marilina starts first by crushing what she brought from the table
Humormii: grabs a handful of everything and shrugs
Brytestar : fenk you!!
Lil Cinnamon : sniffles at Mari’s mix….
Lil Cinnamon : hmm nice, what did you put in there?
Marilina add a little bit of water and mix
Kumi Kiyori mixes in some oats and eats some oats
Fearne walks closer to the table, and whistles at all these plants, then walks closer, and start very low to talk to some of them “do you want to come with me, and be a herbal preparation?” she gentle lets her fingers run over some of the leafs, as she talks to the plants one -by- one
Lil Cinnamon giggles at sweet Fearne
Marilina grab some dirt from the ground and mixt it all together to make a mud consistency
Lil Cinnamon : O.O
Lil Cinnamon : eek… well…
Lil Cinnamon : um…
Persi: i have nothing to put together
Lil Cinnamon : some would say clay is good for mosquito bites LOL… we’ll test your poultice when the time comes lol
Mille walks along the table looking and smelling, decides to pick the flower ones
Miro: uh… I think that depends also on what’s inside the dirt
Marilina smells
Brytestar puts a finger in her mixture while Cinnamon isn’t looking and tastes it…and tries very hard not to make a yucky face while she wipes her hand on her skirt
Persi: what are we making? for mosquitos?
Lil Cinnamon : poultice
Marilina goes back to the table and grab some rosemary
Mille drops petals into the little bowl and says “sorry” then starts to mash them up with the stone thing
Marilina mix it all together and smells once again
Lil Cinnamon : sweet Mille Q.Q
Marilina thinks now it smells good
Lil Cinnamon : peeks over Kumi’s shoulder
Kumi Kiyori eeps
Lil Cinnamon : What did you pick for your poultice?
Kumi Kiyori: I might have eaten some of the oats
Marilina tries not to make a mess on the table
Lil Cinnamon : ahahaha
Lil Cinnamon : well you’ll have good digestion tonight
Lil Cinnamon : smells nice
Lil Cinnamon tries a bit with her finger
Lil Cinnamon : lots of oats! O.o .. that’s good
Mille adds more of the purple ones cuz they smell so nice
Humormii reads the blackboard and scribbles down what it says then sets aside all the stuff she took that wasn’t from the list and starts grinding
Mille : oooh its turning a pretty color of purple now
Lil Cinnamon peeks at Mille’s poultice
Fearne comes back to the table, arms filled with herbs, mostly lavender and lays them out all nicely, and almost pets them, leans down and whispers “thank you.. I promise to make you into a nice herbal preparation” then she starts adding them to the mortar.. but quickly realize, that it cannot all be in there at ones, then raises a hand
Lil Cinnamon Q.Q listens over Fearne’s
Lil Cinnamon : Alright, when you are done, let me know and I’ll give you your jar
Brytestar sniffs her mixture and giggles.…”smells like brekfast…”
Mille adds more of the orange flowers and turns it more orange
Lil Cinnamon : hahahaha
Lil Cinnamon : grins big
Marilina : I am done
Fearne “uhmm.. is I suppost to use all the lavender” she ask, as she tried to bend it to fit into the mortar
Humormii: looks at her yellowish taupe mixture… is this right?
Humormii holds it up to Cinn
Mille raises paw, “I am done Miz Cinny”
Lil Cinnamon : Are you done Mari?
Marilina : yes I added some dirt because it had to much water
Marilina : now is good mud consistency
Lil Cinnamon chuckles at Mari and shakes her head
Brytestar adds a little bit of the arnica and stirs it really good until all of the bits are mixed together and finely ground, the raises her paw. “I fink i did it too!”
Mille : I didnt add water, but the plants were wet enough
Lil Cinnamon : good, now store it in your jar
Marilina grabs her big jar
Lil Cinnamon : good thinking, Mille
Humormii: I think I’m done Miz Cinn
Lil Cinnamon : let me see…
Lil Cinnamon : smells good… looks good
Mille pulls the big stopper off and pours the goo into the bottle, then seals it up with a few thumps
Lil Cinnamon : Dixiepup you done?
Fearne looks to the board, and realizes, she forgot to take the herbs, the teacher wrote, and goes back to the table, to get some of them, and adds it to whatever she had already in the mortar
Brytestar : yus!! im all done miss cinny
Lil Cinnamon : here’s your jar
Lil Cinnamon : Kumi all done?
Kumi Kiyori grins
Kumi Kiyori: I think so
Lil Cinnamon : smiles big at Kumi
Kumi Kiyori: I mashed and I mashed and I mashed
Lil Cinnamon : here, have a jar
Lil Cinnamon : good work!
Kumi Kiyori: Thankies
Lil Cinnamon : it smells amazing here
Brytestar takes the jar in both hands and sets it down and….sticks her whole paw in the mortar to scoop the goo into the jar. Once she’s filled it, she realizes…her hands are too messy to do the lid. “Uumm….teacher..?”
Mille : mhm it does!
Lil Cinnamon whispers: Fearne how are you d- whoa.. that’s a lot of poultice! LOL
Julala Demina laughs
Lil Cinnamon takes some with her finger
Lil Cinnamon : hmm *shrugs* feels good
Marilina looks behind to see what is taking Fearne so long
Fearne adds some of the flower petals from the table, and leans down to sniff, and she smiles big.. and then she almost jumps feet up, as Cinn ask her, and her head turns red “I am sorry miss teacher.. I forgot what to take..”
Lil Cinnamon : laughs, its okay… smiles
Lil Cinnamon : here I give your jar
Fearne beams a smile “I love lavender” she said, and gently took the jar “thank you miss teachers”
Lil Cinnamon : you are very welcome.. and kids, class is over
Lil Cinnamon : Kumi can have her snacks now

Fearne smiles so much “was so much fun.. thank you for teaching us” she looks up at Cinnamon, and walks up to give her a we lavender, that she did not use “for you miss teacher”
Lil Cinnamon pats kids heads
Lil Cinnamon : aw thank you Fearne
Lil Cinnamon puts the lavender in her button

Mille picks up a stray lavender sprig and tucks it in her sleeve
Lucian rolls up his scroll and tucks it away with the quill
Brytestar leans down and wipes her messy hands in the grass
