Where was the ivory-laden woman but in the garden, tending to her plants? A day or so before, she had left the pups with Bangle to go out to Halifax and perhaps find some new information on new plants as well as gather some - and she had. On her way to the area, she had found a plethora of plants that she hadn't noticed before in Ethereal Eclipse; taking a sample of a leaf from each one, she had traveled to the library and found a book on plants - Plants of Nova Scotia.

Many of the pages were worn and faded, and she couldn't identify many of the plants that she had taken samples of; she did, however, find that a few of the plants were useful to her - one of the leaves she had taken were from a plant called Bayberry, which were used to make candles - they also warded off insects, perfect for the incoming summer, where there would be a multitude of the pests. She had also identified one of the plants as Opium Poppy; too much could cause damage, but if one used it sparingly, it could be used as a painkiller or a sedative. Glad to find plants that were of more use than just consumption or dyes, she had stuffed the leaves in her pocket and on the way back through Ethereal Eclipse, she had taken two of both plants and had planted them in the garden.

She had also taken the book of plants, and was currently sitting at the edge of the garden, sketching the plants in her garden in pages of the journal Bangle had given her so long ago, and was writing their names above the sketches as well as short descriptions. It would be an inventory of sorts - keeping track of which plants were in the garden and how many of each they had.
