Passura is busy sketching several small plants in his note book, making notes as to their height, shape of leaf and flower. He looks up as Kero appears and smiles. "You look happy." he says, putting his charcoal ctick away. "Was it like Gramarei's ball or something different?"

*Kero smiles back*
Nah...it was Keva's ball, not Lyssan's...now, do you have any other questions you wanna ask?

Passura shakes his head with a smile. "No, not today... look what I found growing here... they are in the same family but one I think you will like more than the other. He points to the two plants, one of which is oregano... and another similar plant that sets his nose twitching.
**can ye guess what Passura has found fer ye?**

**Oh yes**
*Kero nods*
Yes indeed...and we will be taking cuttings of both of those plants...we can cultivate them outside our cavern, or I could dig a garden cave...and I will definitely be able to find a use for this mint plant here, Pasa...
**Cat-mint, that is**

Passura chuckles to himself and shows Kerobian the plants he has already dug up, encasing their roots in dirt and wrapping them in broad leaves to keep them moist and safe. "I figured ye might say something along the line of that. My master had a garden and a cat, to keep out the critters as he called them. But the cat kept tearing up his herb garden... Come to find out he had catnip growing in with his oregano. Not sure who planted it in there, but he wasn't at all happy... Cat was though."

*Kero laughs*
Well, don't worry...I'm a little more controlled about my desire than that...and yes, Pasa, Oregano and catmint, also known as catnip, often grow together. I believe the plants are related. So, let's get a garden going for ourselves, whaddaya say?

The boy nods. "I would think it best to have it outside of the cave though. Most plants need sunshine to grow, as well as frequent visits by insects and other tiny creatures to pollinate them. " He hands one of the plants to Kerobian and gathers up the other for himself.
"Maybe it would be wise to talk to the dark winged one... the one called Bess... to find out where he thinks we should put it."

Passura cocks his head. "What's a cow?" he asks in confusion. He tries to correctly pronounce Bez's name but the z keeps coming out as a long s sound.

*Kero smiles*
It's okay...and this is a cow...*Gives him a mental picture of one as they really look like....then laughs and puts Bez's face on the image*

The boy dissolves into giggles at the thought. And from that day on, finds it hard to look at Bez and not repeat the act.
"I... I have an idea." he suggests as they walk back to their cave. "One of the women of my tribe had an herbal garden planted around the sides and entrance way of her cave. Some were dirt, some in pots, and others still in moss. It always smelled good when we visited her."

*Kero nods, looking up from the scroll he is studying*
That does sound like an excellent idea....so how about you go, fish for thirty minutes, and then we'll go out and gather moss, dirt, and I'll get Rhea to bring some pots...

The boy hands him his notebook and plant and darts off to the stream, singing one of his tuneless ditties as he goes.
"I'm going to have to teach him how to carry a tune." grumbles Tam startling the mage who hadn't seen him standing just inside his and Bez's cave.

Tam sighs. "Am I to announce my presence with a parade of drumming banshees?" The he grins mischievously. "I could do that, ye know."
