[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Interesting. That shack that were on the end of path looked like... Ah, after all, it was a good place for such a person. While they all waited for the resident of the shack open the door after knocking, Shiva recognized that there...was an inkling of a pond in the backyard visible. Hmm... In fact, why didn't she get this idea earlier - The forest was somewhat special. There was folklore containing Fire Magic. People of Wineberry lived peacefully among Bug Types... How come there were no special herbs findable at this place?

Upon the door opened, her assumption turned out as right. Oh, she was high at spirits as off a sudden. Why did she not realise earlier... She greeted the healer in a tone that showed respect and appreciation. "Be greeted, old wise man. We hate to bother you, but we are in need for your knowledge and have come from town to ask for your help. Please grant us your advice and help. Look, we have this sick Shelmet..."

Inside the shack, her respect only increased, and she surveyed the surroundings with interest. Not direct intrusive interest, but rather in a way that this was absolutely to her taste. While she would enjoy nothing more to watch that Secret Potion being brewed, she understood that such a task demanded concentration aside from knowledge, so she better not disturbed.

So for now, she was fine to wait in the parlor among Ventus, Valder and the new young boy they dragged along. That Fireweed Tea had...an interesting taste... Slightly bitter, but sweet and refreshing at the same time. Shiva was able to taste nettle and skirret in it.

While Ventus was busy introducing himself, she got up and reached for one one the bundled of red herbs. Luckily, the ceiling was relatively low, so she was able to pick a twik of those even with her realitively minor body size. She levigated the twig between her fingers like she was doing this every now and then and nothing particularly special to her. More to herself than to the others, she spoke out one word: "...Interesting."

In fact, she didn't know these kinds of herbs that were hanging here to dry and the scent the twig in her hand was new to her as well. Maybe they were reserved for Chreshire and only grow at this place?

Mechanics:
Conversation time, indeed! With @Sage, then if possible with the natural magican. Maybe he can tell me more about the lore of Fire Magic connected to Fireweed Forest, also ask if I can pick up some herbs to take with me to the journey in the backyard. Shiva knows on her own what to do with them, unless she doesn't know what kinds they are - in that case, she'll ask for a short introduction on them.
