[After the trial ends, it's as though she can find no respite from her thoughts. When trying to distract herself from everything that's happened doesn't work, she figures that even if she isn't hungry... She should try to eat.
That's where she finds Ishi, and gives pause once she sees him. It's hard to keep the concern off her face.]
There are a number of things that grow around here, if one knows where to look and how to identify them-- though they do not remain the same, from week to week.
A few herbs that can be eaten or made into teas, a couple of others useful for curing injuries and healing wounds... ah, and there have been several toxic ones as well, but I have avoided those.

week two, saturday.
That's where she finds Ishi, and gives pause once she sees him. It's hard to keep the concern off her face.]
...Are you okay?
[It's the only question she can think to ask.]
no subject
[Ishi nods to her, managing a small smile over the rim of his teacup.
It might be weed tea sorry about that. He could maybe stand to chill a little, right now.]
Thank you for thinking to ask, though. Will you be well enough?
no subject
[She pauses for a moment to choose her words.]
Can I ask why you decided to do it?
no subject
[He takes a measured sip, exhales slowly.]
It was going to be unfair no matter what we did.
no subject
[Even if this seems like a dicier situation to her, a fact that she won't mention.]
no subject
[his tone is fonder, there; whatever happens, he appreciates that willingness.]
no subject
[It's at least worth hoping for.]
...Can I ask you something unrelated really quick?
no subject
[his brows raise slightly at the question, though, before he nods.]
And of course. You never need permission to ask, though I won't always promise answers.
no subject
[The look on her face indicates pretty clearly that she already Knows, though.]
no subject
[He knows she knows, so he doesn't bother actually explaining.]
Don't worry. I didn't use very much.
[This is just for a little extra chill, he is not in here being a tea stoner.]
no subject
Man, if anyone's earned it, it's you.
no subject
I suppose you may be right about that.
[But with a slight hum, he adds:]
I haven't yet used all of it, you know.
[teens are adults in his time and this is fine? it's nothing dangerous.]
no subject
No thanks. I'm not really big on that kind of stuff. Can I ask how you even got it, though...?
no subject
[he's just been out here picking plants.]
no subject
[That might not be what she should have taken from this.]
no subject
[he is probably not doing that with the weed, but.]
no subject
[Color her curious.]

Do you think you could show me how to use the second kind?
