[Video]
[You know, it feels like whenever she makes a video, this girl is either all laughter and smiles or thunderous frowns. This time it's the latter. She is actually standing on the ground this time, little piles of... something - maybe dried plants? - arranged neatly at her feet, and she is positively glaring into the camera.]
You're just stupid, aren't you? You don't even know which things to use for healing! Well I'm going to show you. Otherwise you're just going to keep hurting.
[Her knees hit the grass with almost no sound, closer to the camera, and she scoops up a bunch of what, lo and behold, are in fact dried green stems with little purple flowers.]
Lavender is good for when your head hurts. You dry it and put it in your food, or your drink, or in the water you use to wash. This one's saffron. [Dried red and yellow strings.] Turns everything yellow and is good for when a wound goes bad. [Blackberries - both leaves and berries.] You use blackberries to make syrup for when your guts aren't working right, and the leaves are good to put on burns, or to chew when your gums bleed. And you use burdock [A spiky-headed plant with ruffled leaves.] to help bring a fever down. Mint is really nice. [Small leaves with an almost serrated edge.] It smells nice, helps fever, and stomach ache and wounds and snakebites.
[She pauses and picks up a bundle of stems covered in tiny leaves, which she carefully shows off, going sober. Right next to it are several long fern-like leaves.]
But this one is really important. It's thyme, and it helps wounds stop bleeding. It's even better at it when you mix it with yarrow.
If you need any, come to the forest. I have some stored, just in case. I won't even make you trade for it this time. Everybody's hurting too much.

I'm sorry Jack
nooo don't be
Re: nooo don't be
But it would still be writing? Moving pictures would be better. Then they can see what they look like, and where they grow.

[He gives Aisling a smile, pleased enough that he understood at least most of that.]
All we need is a few magical plants and I'd be set.

The mistletoe and things are only around midwinter... There aren't many that are magical on their own, but there are a lot of things that contain the potential for magic, or are best when used in certain things. The sacred trees...

[Of course she's right and likely her knowledge goes far beyond his own but as a school-taught wizard he has a better footing than most.]
But I've never seen anything like a Venomous Tentacula here.

We were always allowed to swear if it tried to strangle us during class.

I should like to see one! I haven't seen any here, yet, but there are other things. Maybe I'll show you sometime. Or bring them for the shop.
