Freyan sits on a wooden chair in the common area, though sit is a very generous way to describe how he slumps against the table face firmly planted as his arms dangle beneath. A kettle placed over the fire begins to whistle. Freyan suddenly bolts right up, snorting as he does so. Slowly stand up, he staggers to the fire, grabs a cloth from nearby and warps it around his hand as he pick of the kettle. Carefully he bring the kettle back to the table and pours its contents into a stein. Shaking the last few drops of the bright yellow fluid into the stein, he staggers back toward the fire pit placing kettle with all the other dirty bowls and cups waiting to be cleaned. "To bloody early for that crap" Freyan mumbles to himself. back at the table he sits and pulls the stein closer, warping his finger around it letting the heat seep into his fingers, warming him against the damp cold of late Spring. He inhales the vapors of the stein, noting its zesty and sweet scent. He smiles and takes a sip, exhaling steam.

Ashen makes her way though the entrance of the Silver Scale. She had just Finished gathering all night for some fresh medical herbs and even found some wild Carrots and Strawberries. this put her in a wonderful mood for once in the mornings. as she made her way in she made sure to close the door behind her as she kicked of the dirty from her boots. Sniffing she smelt something in the air, it was Sweet, and something else. Looking around to try an pinpoint the aroma she saw an unfamiliar lump at her table. Ashen Dropped her bag to the ground drawing her bow and arrow in a quick motion. aiming for the Intruder.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" she growled from deep within her throat. the low tones lingered in it animalistic hymns.

Freyan stares into the fire going over what has happened, chastising himself for being so careless. He's obilivous as the front door open, and only realizes someone in the room with him when he hears a low grow from the entrance. He turns to find an arrow aimed at his head. He stares as he tries analyze the why he always finds himself at the business end of a bow, when it clicks.
"We have to stop meeting like this Ashen, people will being to talk" he say with a smirk. proping his head on his arm he takes another swing from the stein

Ashen blinked in confusion, who the hell was this man anyway? that's when it came to her, it was the man she healed from her accident. Her cheeks turned red out of embarrassment of aiming at him, and for his comment.
"nothing new with people talking about me it seems." she muttered loud enough for him to hear and she sheathed her arrow. removing her weapons and leaving them in the cabinet near by. sighing, she was relieved it wasn't some random Assassin in her home looking for a certain drow, this would be yet another soul she would have to warn Fallen about. 'at this rate im going to have to arrange meeting with fallen in the woods just to say hello.' She cursed in her mind. making sure not to speak. turning around again to retrieve her bag she noticed the smell again. something sweet, she looked over at Freyan once more as she picked her bag up.
"what are you drinking? it smells Familiar?" she questioned as she walked to the very table the smell was coming from. she took a seat beside him as she set her bag on the table. she reached for a loaf of Bannock resting in the bowl across from her, ripping off a piece and eating it.

"Its a mixture of lemon, ginger, and a new plant I found" he answered as he swirled the tea in his stein.
"I found it last summer in the woods nearby, its a very curious plant, I think its a kind of orchid" he mumbled staring into the fire. His eyes snapped back to Ashen.
"How long was I out exactly? I don't remember the snow falling and then i wake upto it melting" he asked
'More importantly what happened while I was out'

finishing the bread in her mouth she looked at freyan. "lets see I shot you by mistake in the fall and now its spring so you where out for a whole winter season, 7 moon cycles and a blue moon I think. I track Animals and Plants, not stars but that's my close guess."
Ashen rubbed the side of her face in exhaustion, the dark circles under her eyes had yet to fade in nearly 2 moon cycles. it was only recently she had begun putting on weight again, though her ribs still tuck out slightly. well least her cheeks weren't so thin anymore ether. she actually started to look healthy.
"your new 'plant' smells like the Jumellea that use to grow near Synaria's hut. did its shape resemble a white Star?" when the word Star was spoken, ashen couldn't help but cringe slightly. remembering a week ago, what act she had to do. but that was a story for another time.

"Bloody Hells, eight moons? Eight??" he exclaimed, he released a deep sigh taking another swing from his stein. 'there goes ALL my research, specimens, and I bet even my dried herbs are spolied' Freyan turned to look at Ashen, actually look at her. She had dark circles under her eyes, her cheekbones were just slightly more pronouced, and her furs sagged slightly. He passed her his stein.
"Drink this, you look like you could use some, it will wake you up and energize you. But just a little, not sure of this plants effects yet."
"And no, its sounds close but it looked more like a small bird. I'd show you but i already used up what i had left making this" he said pointing at the stein. "and the draft that put me into that coma of course"

Ashen waved her hand as a symbol of no to the stein "no thank you, I haven't spelt in two days I just need rest. however I thank you" Ashen smiled at him for being so kind.
her thoughts stopped as he brought up his coma, this was true it wasn't normal for one to sleep as long as he did. she did many heal spells on him with no affect, which was the only reason she didn't bring him to the temple.
"so you brew your own things? like that tonic? do you need herbs? I gather every night and day I can." Ashen questioned as she opened her Bag to relieve a plethora of herbs, anything ranging from medicinal to poisons.

Reaching for the bag Freyan began to riffle through it. "Yes I mixed the orchid with some Nightshade" 'mint, lavender, basil' "One drop of NightShade and you sleep for a night, Two drops and you have a dreamless sleep for a few days" 'Bloodroot, EyeBright, Foxglove, did someone piss you off?' "Three drops and you die in minutes" ' Life Root.... Silphium!?!?!?' Freyan looks up from the bag and raises an eyebrow at Ashen "However only half a drop combined with the white bird orchid I found and I made a such a powerful sedative that even magic couldn't wake me...." Freyan places the bag on the table and starts patting himself down and looks at Ashen in bewilderment
" Even if you feed me every hour on the hour I should have lost weight or strength, but Im perfectly fine after eight moons in a coma..." with a look of confusion Freyan begins squinting at the stein. 'what are you?'

"oh that's because I casted a healing spell on you once every few days and helped you drink my own tonic, Lavender, Life root and Angelica. that one I had to go all the way to the mountains to get, but I keeps a really long time." Ashen confesses noticing Freyans raised his brow after looking at the herbs she had gathered. she had made it a point to gather herbs of a Poisonous property to make a new poison for Fallen. one that would render his victim paralyzed but not dead. perhaps, 'I can get some information from Freyan'.
"you wouldn't happen to have notes on your findings on herbs? I would love to compare some if you like, my room is upstairs. I could bring my notes if you wanted." Ashen smiled, it was nice to talk to someone about one of her secret passions.

"That must be why then" replied Freyan looking into the fire 'But how could a healing spell sustain me but not wake me? More research on that orchid is needed'
"And i'd be glad to share what i know, it would be the least I could do after you looking after me for so long" he said as he walked into his room, the tonic was taking effect he no longer felt drowsy and weak. He looked over his shelfs scanning the journals and research books. He choose a Journal with the Title "Common Herbs of Wildgard and there Uses" another titled "How to turn Rotting meat into Filet Mignon! A guide to cooking with herbs." and a few of his personal journals that had sketches of various plants with descriptions. He was about to leave when he saw a book he rarely used, "Lethal Herbs and Plants for all your Nefarious Needs". 'well she had the bloodroot and foxglove' Freyan added it to his pile and exited the room 'I'll just make my own meals from now on'.
"However before we start I want you to answer me one question" Freyan grunted as he placed the books on the table, he reached into her bag and took out the Silphium, a plant with a long firm stem and small yellow flowers.
"Do you know what this is?' he asked staring Ashen in the eyes twirling it between his fingers

Ashen eyed the books be brought, wondering just how involved with herbs this man really was. ashen perked up when he brought out a plant with small yellow flowers that reminded her of a tea."actually no I don't, it looked nice and I wondered if it was for a type of tea. I was going to research it before I used it of course. why do you know?" Ashen was telling the whole truth, she honestly had no idea.

Freyan squinted as he stared Ashen in the eyes 'she seems to be telling the truth' Freyan sat down and began to smirk 'this is gonna be fun'
While still twirling the flower between his fingers he stared at Ashen "Its called Silphium, also down as the Dark Moons Tears, its used in seasoning sometimes, but its main use.... is to stop a woman from bleeding" Freyan barely contained his laughter, he propped his head on his fists and tilled his head.
"which begs the question... is there someone in your life? or perhaps i should say in your bed?"

"wait..what?!" Ashens eyes Widdened as she stared at the Herb, she leaned back away from it as if she about to be consumed by the very 'innocent" flower Freyan held. Her face was Bright red. it was true there was someone in her life she was interested in but she honestly had no idea! "I..umm" Ashen cleared her throat "umm I don't think you should just ask someone that on a first meeting, least by me a drink first" She jested.
the blush from her face near vanished. as she thought of Fallen, still clearing her throat. "so umm...ummm what are the other herbs for?" she asked nervously.
