"Ah yes," Barlow was quick to assure the man on the other line, "I'm sure I'll have no problem finding my way. See you soon!" Hanging up the phone, Barlow took the hastily scribbled list of herbs and scrutinized it carefully. Truthfully, he wasn't near as knowledgable about herbs as he was about trees, but thankfully he had a whole book to help him define and identify the miscellaneous plants he found on his land. Pulling it from a nearby shelf, he returned to the great outdoors and headed straight for his herb garden. The grazing doe and fawn seemed to have sauntered off back into the forest, leaving him alone and to his own devices.
Upon reaching his herb garden, he checked the list, then checked the tags posted by each plant, then checked the book, just to make sure the tag was correct. He did this every time he tended to the garden, even though there was hardly ever a mistake. "Better to be cautious than unprepared," he told himself. About thirty or so minutes later, he had gathered the necessary herbs. He liked to grow and cultivate multiple of the same plant, so instead of breaking off some amount, he can just bring his customers a small pot of their very own. Sure, it may decrease some income since they'd no longer need to ask him for plants, but he felt like it was a nice thing to do. Besides, most of his customers called about the furniture he crafted or for evergreen trees around Christmastime. After assuring that he had no fire going in the cabin to be left unattended, he began his descent of the mountain with a tray of small potted plants in his arms.
I think back to the time when my search first began,
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless everlasting world out there.
I know that with this burning passion driving me
Someday, somewhere I'll finally see
The light I have searched for everywhere!-One Piece, "Hikari E"Home ✖
