Joshua lay in the sun, enjoying its warmth. Night lay next to him, equally content in the light. Joshua looked over at her. "We're all stocked up on thyme leaves right? I can't remember if we found some yesterday or not."
The cheetah laughed. Yes, Joshua. We found thyme. It was juniper we had been looking for.
"Oh yeah." Joshua thought for a minute. "Did we find any of those?"
Yes, you forgetful kit, Night laughed.
"Where would I be without?" Joshua asked, scratching her neck.
She purred with more laugher. You'd have too many of some herbs and too few of others.
"Too true," Joshua said seriously. "Are there any we should be looking for now? Chervil comes to mind."
Night thought for a minute. Yes, we need chervil. I think we're also running low on willow bark.
"Then what are we waiting here for?" Joshua asked, standing up. "Let's get looking!" He took off into the forest, Night running after him and yelling at him that he was going the wrong way.
