She nods curtly, relieved that there were no questions this time around. "This way, then," Willow says, tone even, and she guides the grey apprentice over to a flowering patch of yellow flowers, not too far from the lavender bush.

"This is marigold," she explains, gesturing to the yellow-orange flowers. Its petals are all ruffled up and its leaves are large and green, the stem is reddish in color and smooth to the touch. "The leaves and the petals are what you want with this one. If chewed into a poultice, they can stop infection and bleeding." There isn't much else to say about the flowers - they're essential to have in the medicine den as one of the most effective ways to prevent infections, so it's crucial to know. That was one of the reasons she had taken it upon herself to learn about it, she wanted to be helpful to her clan when she could, especially considering she'd never been a fighter.

"Late New-Leaf all the way through Leaf-Fall are the best times to harvest it," she explains slowly, "marigold loves the sun, so in areas that have plenty of sunshine and a good supply of water you're sure to find this helpful herb."

minkpaw followed the translucent molly, white tipped paws passing through the sparkly pale grass, disturbing small bits of pale sparkly dust and sending them swirling around her and mixing into the ever present fog surrounding her.
next was another herb she was vaguely familiar with, a puffy looking round collection of flowers on a strong deep reddish green stalk. the orange flowers had a sort of crinkled look to them and got darker the closer the got to the middle of the almost circular structure. the grey molly hummed, marigold, she didnt really remember where she had picked up the name of this particular herb but the name and description surely rang a bell. leaves and pedals, chewed into a poultice for infections and bleeding, grows in late new leaf through leaf fall, sunny areas and water. the apprentice repeated internally, before pausing to think of any questions she might have. when she turned up with no further question she nodded, "no questions for this one either, thank you"
