herbal tea [...] so I won't feel dead anymore

✯ — A demonstration.  Simple enough, although to be truthful, standing in front of an entire clan of new creatures was too daunting for the marten at the moment.  Something... Simpler and more calming was in order.  Even after moons of being a shaman, then doctor... Butterflies still fluttered violently in her stomach when she had to publicly teach.  One-on-one sessions were far easier; she did not have to raise her voice, and it was easier to find a steady pace between a single student.

If there was one constant about Lessa, it was that the smell of chamomile seemed to linger on her.  It had faded after moons of travel, but it was returning already.  The marten drank a cup of chamomile tea near everyday.  It helped.  Tea was also her preferred method of administering medicine when it was an option.  A warm cup of tea was easier to go down than most herbs on their own.

So all morning, the marten set to brewing a multitude of teas, from chamomile to rosemary to dandelion and set them out in front of her, with their corresponding herb resting beside each cup.  Quietly, she cleared her throat, inhaling sharply through her nose.  Her hawk companion, Calum, sat nearby, her medkit still harnessed to his back.

"I-if you want... To learn about he-herbal teas... I'm ho-holding a little... Session here."
