Having taken Lyanna’s words in, the child has spent the weeks after the blue tipped mare’s lesson on ferns and mosses to learn to differentiate between them. Sure enough, the ginger and cream darling learned quite quickly that they were all, in fact, different in the ways her tutor had specified (though Tilney had surely told her at least a hundred times).

Soon, she was moving up and down the carefully tended rows, occasionally pulling a weed or two away, or tilting the pretty blue can Mesec had made her to sprinkle water on the herb’s roots, all while mentally noting how the Royal Fern had very round, adorable leaves and most even fronds. That it looks so youthful is funny, because it’s usually used on old people, to ease their aching joints, or sore bellies. The Lady Fern, its uses implanted in its name (the needs of a Lady!) was almost fancy in comparison, with tapered leaves and fronts; the Bracken Fern, however, looked almost as if the Royal and the Lady Fern had made little fern babies, who’d suddenly become fern old men, with roundish, lumpy leaves on tapered fronds. It was no wonder bugs hated this plant; even working away weeds around their bases left a powerful smell lingering in her nostrils.

She’s lifting her head to ask her father what a Bracken Fern is (and whether or not it is the offspring of two other ferns) when a visitor catches her attention. Dropping her gathered weeds in an excited rush of adrenaline, the child is just sure another day has arrived for her to utilize the skills she has been honing. Cantering through the rows, occasionally leaving some shrubbery or bloom laden plant shuddering at her passing, the bright child is there almost immediately after the mare makes her presence known to everyone in the greenhouse.

"Daddy! Come quick!" She proclaims as she makes way towards the hapless Edge citizen, who has arrived in need of she and her sire's medical tending. Citrine eyes wide as she bouncily comes to a halt, her pale hair floating and erratic, the cloak draped darling asks with wide eyes: "Hello! I’m Maude! Are you okay?!"

[ OOC: Hope you don't mind a father/daughter tag team? :) ]

Hold onto this lullaby, even when the music's gone.
