It's so late... I didn't mean to take this much of a detour.
link Dedue volume_up
Just getting back?
link Ashe volume_up
Hey, Dedue. Hope I didn't worry you.
link Dedue volume_up
You didn't. You were in town, yes?
link Ashe volume_up
I went to pick up some supplies, but on the way back I saw these flowers blooming and I just couldn't help but pick some.
link Dedue volume_up
Ah. Yarrows.
link Ashe volume_up
They're used as an ingredient in healing salves, although you can also slap the leaves on your wounds and get mostly the same effect.
link Ashe volume_up
Oh, and I plan on soaking them in alcohol. It'll produce a liquid that can be used for a wonderful ointment.
link Ashe volume_up
Er, though I suppose it would be faster to just use healing magic...
link Dedue volume_up
You seem well-informed on the subject.
link Ashe volume_up
Lonato knew all about it, so I picked up a few things from him.
link Dedue volume_up
Lord Lonato had an interest in plants?
link Ashe volume_up
Oh, sure. He kept tons of botanical encyclopedias and books like that in his room.
link Ashe volume_up
He loved flowers. He even kept a small herb garden at Castle Gaspard.
link Ashe volume_up
Hey, you like gardening too, right?
link Ashe volume_up
I mean, you were always watering the flowers in the greenhouse back at Garreg Mach.
link Dedue volume_up
I suppose I do. Though I know little of the medicinal properties.
link Ashe volume_up
Yeah, I guess knowing how to grow plants is different from knowing how to use them.
link Dedue volume_up
Even so, the greenhouse was a treasure to me.
link Ashe volume_up
You're right about that. I found flowers there I'd never even seen in Castle Gaspard's garden!
link Dedue volume_up
I would like very much to visit this garden of yours one day.
link Ashe volume_up
We should go! Of course, a lot has happened since I last saw it, but my younger siblings should still be looking after it.
link Dedue volume_up
I look forward to it.
link Dedue volume_up
Though, how did Lord Lonato come to know so much about medicinal herbs?
link Ashe volume_up
He used to serve Grand Duke Rufus, so...
link Ashe volume_up
Maybe he studied them while he was in the capital.
link Dedue volume_up
Perhaps.
link Ashe volume_up
Sorry. I'm just sitting here chatting away when I should be off making myself useful.
link Dedue volume_up
Of course.
link Dedue volume_up
Of course.
link Dedue volume_up
Medicinal herbs. Hm.
