Kalyca walked over to the far end of the garden and noticed an old well there. That was strange she'd never noticed that before. She peered down into its inky depths curiously. Picking up a stone she tossed it in, after 20 seconds she heard a little splash. It was very deep. Shrugging she walked off into the other parts of the garden.
She walked into the newer part of the garden happily. She loved Rosethorn's garden, it reminded her of her magic in a way. The plants loved her too. She walked into the garden to see Peter, the little bunny rabbit Lark had found as a baby and raised, eating some of the lilies.
"Peter Cottontail!" she yelled at him shaking her finger at the rabbit, "What do you think your are doing?"
The rabbit looked up at her innocently. She went over to him and picked him up, "If I catch you doing that again I'll"- she thought quickly and remembered the well, "Hang you in the well!"
She gave the bunny a small shake then heard some footsteps behind her and spun around putting Peter down.
Briar was standing there with a strange look on his face he glanced at Peter then at her, "Where'd you learn that phrase?"
"What phrase?" she asked wondering what had upset Briar; she liked Briar, he was her friend.
"I'll hang you in the well," Briar said softly.
"Um," Kalyca shrugged, "There was a well over there you know, the phrase just kind of popped up into my head."
"Oh," Briar said, "Would you mind not saying it? It brings back, memories."
"Okay," Kali agreed worried that she had done something horrible.
Then Briar suddenly brightened up, "Want to go into town and buy some seeds?"
Kali grinned, "Sure!"
"Come on, let's go tell Lark," Briar said and ruffled Kali's hair.
Kali turned back to Peter and gave him a stern glare, "Remember, no eating flowers!"
Then together they headed into Discipline.

Briar walked slowly down a road leading to some town called Riverton. He'd stayed with Kali at Winding Circle for nearly three weeks but now it was time to leave. He hated leaving Kali behind, but well, he couldn't stay at Winding Circle forever. And this town was having trouble with droughts, not much was growing. They needed a green mage's help. Kalyca knew he would come to visit again.
