Comments

[countermeasures]

Yes, very.

[her mother is the only member of her family worth acknowledging. jiuqing smiles, sets her cup of tea down, and gets up as well.]

I'd appreciate that. [time to look at the garden and see what she can get!] I'll try not to take too much of anything. Please let me know if I'm getting close.

[thinking about it...]

I don't suppose you have any willow trees, here...?

[saturations]

Willow trees, hmm.

[doesn't really look like it.]

No, not now, at least. Could be something I might try to grow. I don't like shortcuts with these things, so it'll be a while.

[countermeasures]

In Daxing, we can use the bark to treat fevers... it also acts as a painkiller.

[she smiles]

There are other options for that, too. It's just one I'm more familiar with.

[saturations]

If I plant it today, we'll only have to wait about a decade.

[countermeasures]

...well, it may not be bad for you to have it in the future, but I think I'll look for alternatives for now.

Willow trees do look really nice, though, so I don't think you'd regret planting it even if it was just for decoration!

[saturations]

It's a good idea. I feel like it'll really improve the atmosphere. Hey, thanks for that!

[they sound very enthusiastic.]

[countermeasures]

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it, once it grows in.

[saturations]

Hope you manage to find something useful anyway. If you don't mind some advice, a little chamomile, some turmeric?

[countermeasures]

I'm sure that I will. Chamomile and turmeric are good ideas. [she hums] I was thinking perhaps a little bit of peppermint, too... would that work, as long as I kept the total amount to about a handful?

[saturations]

[wandering over to another part of the garden. there we go, peppermint leaves.]

Yup. You go ahead and take some of that, too. We should be okay.

[countermeasures]

[done! she has one (1) handful of medicinal herbs.]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!

[saturations]

You're welcome.

[bending a little to say so with a the vibe of a friendly smile despite having no face.]

Come by any time if you need something, or if you just want to chat. I'm always around.

[countermeasures]

Of course! You can let me know if you ever want company, too. I'll come running.

[she smiles]

Now... I believe I said I'd help out in your garden as well as chat with you, didn't I? Which part of the garden is most in need of attention?

[we can



probably handwave her working in the garden though at this point]

[saturations]

[we definitely can.]

Why don't you help me with watering for a little while?

[countermeasures]

Gladly.

[


and then they water some plants!]
