Mira & Tauriel
Hey Mira, I've been thinking about setting up a small medicinal herb patch in the clearing we patrol. What do you think? You have a knack for plants, and I could use a few more quick healers on our routes.
Mira: That sounds lovely, it would be so calming to tend to a little herb garden together, especially in the clearing. I’d love to plant chamomile for its soothing scent, lavender for its calming properties, and maybe a sprig of comfrey for quick wound healing. We could mark the beds carefully, make sure the soil is well-drained and add a small compost pile so everything stays fertile. Just imagine the peace that would bring, both to the plants and to us when we need a quick remedy.
I like the plan, Mira. Chamomile, lavender, comfrey—those will keep us steadier on the road. Just make sure the beds are hidden from any wanderers that might think they're a good idea to trample the roots. We’ll mark them discreetly and keep the compost tidy. If anyone comes asking, we’ll give them the polite “just a small garden, no one here.”
Mira: That sounds perfect, I’ll make sure the beds are low and tucked away under a little clump of tall grass so no one will see. I’ll keep the compost neat and maybe label the plants with tiny stickers so we can spot them easily later. And if anyone asks, a gentle smile and “just a tiny garden for our own healing” will do just fine. I'll get the soil prepped today, and we can start planting in a quiet hour.
Sounds good, Mira. Just keep the area quiet, and make sure the herbs get enough shade. If someone stumbles by, we can keep it low-key. I'll be ready to help with the planting when the sun's down.
Mira: Absolutely, I'll keep the patch shaded with a small trellis of vines, so the herbs stay cool. I’ll make a neat row of pots so they’re hidden but still easy to tend. When the sun sets, we can quietly put the seedlings in place. It’ll be a quiet, soothing project.
That’ll keep them safe from the heat, Mira. I’ll bring the watering cans and keep an eye out for any curious travelers. We’ll finish before the first nightstar appears.
Mira: Thank you, that sounds lovely. I’ll prepare the beds and keep the shade just right, and we’ll finish before the first nightstar shines. When you bring the cans, I’ll be ready to tend the plants together.
