Lyni was stretching when Wolffe drove up and took his suitcase from the back of his work truck. Lowering her arms she smiled at him, "You got permission!"
He nodded, "What are you doing?"
Looking back at the raised planter on the small section at the side of the house, "I was thinking of making this into a vegetable patch like we used to have." Pulling out another weed, "Spring is coming," looking at the cloudy sky threatening either rain or a late snow, "at least that's what they tell me." With a slight shrug, "So I thought I could start getting this thing ready."
Setting his suitcase down by the wall Wolffe started pulling weeds too, "What kind of vegetables did you have?"
"We always had Rinor," seeing his confusion, "its a Dathmarian herb that can be used for medicine." Returning to pulling weeds, "We also used Ongmuel for that but it was better to fight side effects from the Mushling we used for the tribal tattoos, while Lesset was always the best." Stretching her shoulder, "Another plant we always had was the Hwotha bush for it's berries but we also had carrots and tomatoes like you do."
"Well," she looked up at his tone, "I don't know about Rinor or Hwotha but there is a store my family owns that sells both seeds and some started vegetable plants if your interested."
Smiling at him, "That sounds great thanks." After a moment she decided to bite the bullet and tell him, "Speaking of stores, I will need to go to one in order to get a dress for your cousins wedding."
Looking up from the weeds he was setting on the pile, "You don't have one?"
Shaking her head, "Nope." Then shrugging, "I've never needed one." She was looking at her hands, "I don't know where…"
Wolffe's hand covered hers, "Well then we will just have to find one you like." Her smile broke out warm as she beamed at him.
"Wolffe," Feral jumped down the steps, "I thought I heard you drive up." Then seeing the suitcase he whooped, "You got permission!"
Standing up Wolffe dusted off his hands like Lyni was doing, "Yep."
Feral grabbed his arm, "Come on I'll show you my room and you can help set up the camp bed." And he was dragged off in the excitement that was Feral as Lyni gathered up the weeds then went to throw them away. Shaking her head she smiled at how happy her love made her brother. {wait, WHAT?}
Healing
A handful of herbs
Brewed and stirred
All just right, here
Through the night.
You ask when
Medicine is ready
Hold on, hold on
Just be steady.
Healing will come
Before the sun.
