Before responding to her question Zera’im adjusted her seat on the stone, the hard surface starting to cause her boney hips to ache. She leaned against her scythe then, using it almost like a crutch. Some days she felt good, spry even, like she had when she was in her prime. But those days were few and far between now, replaced instead by days such as this, where every position was uncomfortable. Sighing, Zera’im’s ice blue and warm brown eyes went to Eclipse, They can move on, and most eventually will. It is only the spirits of those who wish to wait for something that remain. Some wait in vain for life again, some wait for the ensured safety of loved ones left behind. Then other’s seem to wait for no reason at all. But eventually, all will move on to their final destinations, whatever those may be. Zera’im then nodded sagely, as if agreeing with the wisdom of her words and closed her eyes, seemingly falling asleep save for the constant twitching of her fringed ears.

The Ichikan girl then spoke of her love for gardening, for cooking and animal tending and the Shaman opened her bright, smiling eyes to look at the girl again, Oh, how lovely. You should take great pride in these things, for not many have such gifts. You surely will have many a suitor after you when the time comes. She nodded again and laughed gently, like the tinkling of bells. Then continuing, You are very wise for someone your age, to realize what it is you were born to do. Most do not find their lot in life until twice your age, and many never do.

Then, suddenly, Zera’im moved to reach into her bag. She rummaged for a moment and then pulled out a small jar, the contents of which were strings of red-hued and dried spice. She then reached out to Eclipse to take it, Here, have this. It is an ingredient that has many special properties. It is called saffron, and it will give any recipe you have a wonderful flavor and color. Then, reaching into her pack again, she retrieved another, small bag, And these too, they’re tomato plant seeds, a wonderful addition to your garden. She smiled, glad to finally be gifting these to someone. She had carried the saffron with her for a long time, having barely used much of it, there was still a good amount left. Zera’im wondered if Eclipse knew how rare and valuable such an ingredient was, but it did not matter either way; the collie woman was sure this young wolfess would have much greater use of it than she.
