The otherworld... it already sounded different from what he knew, but perhaps it was the same, different names, same faces and all that.

What tools do I need to look for, would I be able to collect something for later use? he questioned, and it made sense that they would have to wait for spring, but... How late in the spring, don't the bugs and the scavengers need time to wake and get to work?Though, would scavengers leave their teeth marks? What would that do to the spirits?

Come to think of it, this would be his first spring in general, so he didn't...quite know exactly what to expect, how long the bounties of the tiaga would take to grow and flourish, or even how long it takes for the flesh to be taken. As for herbs, he figures he'll learn which ones as they go, perhaps he could even raid Jasmine's old den if his aunts haven't already.

Questions, questions.
