The dittany wasn't catching too much of Nessie's attention. Her attention instead was drawn towards the lavender herbs again. She went over to them smelled them somemore and then only noticed a shiny leaved plant nearby.

Bending down she smelled it too. It smelled good, like food.Yes! Like pasta..like pasta pesto, which was made with basil. Ahah! This had to be basil then. Nessie took one more smell from it and then nodded her head as she agreed to say it was.

After a little bit of thinking over the plant, Ness once again wrote down her notes. When she was done she went back to her seat and patiently waited for more instructions.
