do you believe you could change me? the way i changed you.
It had taken Roman a while to decide on whether or not he wanted to try out to be a halo or not. For one, he was older than most of the members in the clan, so it was odd, in his own mind, training under someone, for another, he already knew most of what there was to know about medicine, so there wouldn't need to be much training. His extensive knowledge thanks to tragic accidents that he was prone to when he was younger, having to learn about fevers from being sick so much, as well as what to do for chest pains from almost drowning, as well as how to deal with cuts and scrapes, and his least favorite - amputations, and what to do when they went wrong. It wasn't as if Aster had done anything wrong when he had been rescued from the bear trap, it was that they didn't see that his leg couldn't be saved, and when they tried to, it made things worse, so, eventually, the leg had to go.
It was fine, and Roman held no ill-will towards his former mentor, but it had all led to where he was now, all led to how much he knew and how he knew that when he had heard the four herbs that they were meant to look for - comfrey root, chamomile, juniper, and burdock root - he knew exactly what they looked like right away. If he hadn't decided to join in the training and searching so late, he would have asked for someone else's help getting around to actually look for the herbs, help someone else that knew less, but he could try to help someone out later, try to make it so that they could learn how to use herbs properly.
Padding through the territory, the male would head over towards the Starpool, in search of the burdock first. Scanning the area for a moment, careful not to get too close to the water, the male would catch sight of the purple plant, heading over towards one before carefully digging it up, using his claws to carefully collect some of the roots before burying it once more so that more could grow in the oncoming seasons.
Heading back towards the way he came, the male would veer off towards the left, heading off towards where he knew larger grasses grew, a place he could likely get the comfrey and the chamomile would be near the area. If he was lucky he wouldn't have to go too far for the juniper. Luck was paying off, and he found the rest of the herbs with some searching, and, heading back towards the observatory Roman pad over towards the Cleric's den, placing the herbs down carefully in their bundle by the door, tied up in a cloth before walking off to figure out what he could do next.
