[font=trebuchet ms]Checkups, she'd decided, would be tomorrow. It was already late tonight, and she lacked the motivation to drag everyone out of their homes into the cold to examine them. Still, she could at least get her herbs in order in case someone had a lingering infection in need of treating.
Shuffling through the plants and sorting them into piles, Rin sighed softly. She would need to restock soon, but this late into autumn, herbs wouldn't be easy to come by. The greenhouse might still be forthcoming in that regard, but probably not for much longer. Glass coverings could only do so much with so few hours of daylight.
Coming across a piece of comfrey root, she stared quietly at it. She'd assigned such a plant for collection during the Halo tryouts... that had been over a year ago, now. So many bright, young faces, ready to prove themselves and provide medical care for their groupmates- Imperia, Lessa, Shininglight, Moon... and now, other than Roman, Play, and Pele, they were... and Roman was...
Gritting her teeth, Rin shoved the comfrey away and turned away. She couldn't think about that, any of it. It would only serve to destroy her. She was already holding herself together by willpower alone, there was no reason for her to put further strain on herself. With a distressed hiss, she narrowed her eyes and focused in on the leaves beneath her paws. Count. One, two, three chervil leaves. One, two, three, four petals of marigold. One, two, three, four, five juniper berries- no. One, two, three... three... three... four leaves' worth of poppy seeds.
As she counted, she could only hope no one would find her there, her eyes wide and panicked, her claws gripping into the soil in a desperate effort to maintain her grip.
