Guest Moderator: Asha Creeper Approved Time Stamp: 82 Summer, 512 It was the height of the afternoon heat and the Medical petal seemed empty. Most creatures were resting in Syna’s loving warmth so it was a slow time of day for most businesses, the Medical petal included. In the center of the petal stood a long building made of white wood two-stories tall. The building housed Nature’s Nurture, one of the most well known medicinal buildings on the petal. Most who were milling around the general vicinity had things on their mind and places to be, so no one noticed or questioned a curious young Kelvic boy quietly approaching the building. Near the entrance to the building was a window which the boy crept up to. His eyes peered just above the sill to investigate what went on inside. Just inside the window stood a large Jamoura male gently breaking pieces off a large chunk of bark resting upon a wooden table that held a variety of bulk herbs and plants. This male was of course, Hethe, the founder of Nature’s Nurture. Hethe’s massive fingers worked the fragile bark masterfully, breaking off only what he needed and no more. Smiling quietly as he went about his work, he placed the delicate bark shards in a small cotton bag. The kindly male felt that he was being watched, and raising his gaze ever so slightly he noticed eyes peeking at him through the window. “You know, young man, it’s not polite to peep at people through the window. If you are going to hang about, why don’t you come in and assist me with a patient small one?” Hethe intoned gently without raising his head. He was a kind male but did not approve of layabouts, few Jamoura did. He did approve of curiosity however, and he knew young ones were often shy about it. Some needed an invitation to investigate further, and he was not one to deny a youngster’s curiosity. Besides, many of the doctors and assistants that usually staffed the building had briefly left for lunch in this slow part of the day. There was a small but adequate contingent of staff left behind to see to the patients that were present, but Hethe could use another hand that day. |
