For Silence
The mainland, while annoying to reach, admittedly possessed a far greater variety of herbs and prey than their island offered. While he was no talented herbalist, Osamu did try to keep an eye on their stores to the best of his (limited) ability; he noted they were low on a few of their more uncommon plants and thought to replenish them.
Problem was, the details were already getting fuzzy.
What was the precise leaf shape again? Were they pointy, or smooth? He remembered little white flowers... but so many herbs had little white flowers, Osamu groaned inwardly. If he'd been smart he would have taken a sample with him, but it was too late now and he had no intention of paddling back and forth several more times.
He'd just grab whatever he could find and hope none of it was poisonous. Head low to the ground, the Samurai decided to trust his nose on this matter and hoped he might recognize its scent.
Distant thunder rumbled overhead as a steady drizzle began.
It was going to be a long afternoon.
