Meanwhile, the younger Odessa was getting his herrrrb on. His first stop wassssss the sssssssssssssssnakeroot. He had his book with him of course and took a knee, the book spread over his leg while he flipped through and matched up the picture with the herb in front of him. Hmmm. He couldn't fit all the good stuff about what it could do on his chart, but West found himself reading extra anyways, absorbing eagerly. Also called Pelican Flower? And Snakeweed? Well West liked 'Snakeroot' better. He wrote that down, and the flashy Latiny name too.
Definitely a herb, and one that had magical properties too so that was super cool. He assumed that meant in potions? Probably. Next one? He got up and looked for his next herb.
