Miykael was both surprised and yet... well, not surprised when he realized that their healer meeting would be comprised of just the three of them. True healers are frequently in far shorter supply than any of the other ranks. Was it due to the innate selflessness that it required? Or the ability to set aside any and all differences to heal the sick and wounded? Being a healer wasn't an easy job. In fact, it is often a thankless duty - one that is often dismissed or the kindness of it so easily forgotten. Yet like the warrior, one must know and understand the body. One must know how to stem the flow of blood from open wounds and set bones. And the herbs. The seemingly endless supply of herbs found in nature and their widely varied uses - all of it a massive wealth of knowledge that a healer must know by heart.

Even Miykael was still learning about the herbs. It is difficult to discern, at times, which part of the particular plant should be used or how much given the individual being treated but he has every intention of learning. So as Resplendence sighed and began her lesson, he watched intently with his ears ever alert and ever forward. His blue eyed gaze absorbing each plant into his memory - color, overall appearance, flowers or fruit, aroma - and carefully locking it away with the details given by the small dun mare. She proceeds somewhat quickly, though he isn't surprised. Over the course of his time spent in the same herd as Resplendence, he'd never known her to be a social butterfly (though were any of them, really? So often the healers are those frequently found alone).

As Resplendence finished, however, and Valiance settled himself back upon her withers the small mare opened the floor for questions. For several moments, he allowed the silence to drift over them, offering the pale mare by his side the first opportunity to speak. Glancing but once in her general direction, he noted that she didn't seem to be making any move to speak. Taking that to mean that she had no questions at this time, he returned his blue eyed gaze to Resplendence once more. "Which parts of these five plants are to be used in the salves or eaten? Or are they simply used as a whole?" he asks, not bothering to hide his own curiosity. Some plants, he knew, were restrictive with only the roots or berries and blooms being useful but his knowledge of which ones (on a far more specific level) they were is quite limited; possibly even nonexistent. And who better to ask than the lovely Resplendence? To him, she was practically a walking manual of herbs.
