Kitana & Sylphira
Greetings, I have been preparing a gentle tea that can help soothe sore muscles after a long day of training. Would you be interested in hearing how it works?
Thank you, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I’m curious to hear about your soothing tea.
It’s a warm blend of chamomile, a pinch of fresh lavender, a little crushed nettle leaf for the blood‑pumping, and a splash of honey from the forest’s wild hives. You brew it over a gentle fire, letting the steam rise like a quiet prayer, and sip slowly while you listen to the leaves rustle. It calms the nerves, eases any aches, and reminds you that even the strongest roots need a little rain. Would you like me to show you how to gather the herbs?
I would be honored. Gathering the herbs would be a fine exercise in patience and focus.
We’ll start at the creekbank where the nettles grow tall and shy, then move to the meadow’s edge for the lavender’s gentle scent. After that, a quick walk through the forest floor will bring the chamomile flowers that prefer damp soil. Just touch each leaf with a calm hand, breathe in the earth’s quiet, and trust the rhythm of nature to guide you. Let me know when you’re ready to start.
I am ready, let us begin.
Wonderful. First, find a calm spot near the creek where the nettles are lush. Stand with your feet firmly on the damp earth, close your eyes, and feel the water’s whisper. Then, gently lift a nettle leaf—just enough to feel its texture, no need to strip the whole plant. Move on to the meadow, where the lavender sways in the breeze; pick a few small stems, releasing their perfume into the air. Finally, stroll through the forest floor, looking for bright chamomile blossoms that prefer cool, shaded spots; pluck the soft yellow heads carefully. As you gather, breathe slowly, letting the forest’s rhythm sync with your own heartbeat. When you’re done, we’ll brew the tea together.
