Herbology 101

Enelya walked into her new classroom. Her new classrom; that was definately different for her. She was only fifteen, and teaching a class... She hoped she could handle it... With her passion for plants, and the love of what she wanted her students to know... Maybe it would turn out alright. Her purple eyes showed a new optimisim, and her blue hair was tied in a long brain, entangled with different flowers. Archimedes stood on a desk looking over the classroom, and shook his head. "I think this is going to be a disaster Enelya."

Enelya glared at him, and looked at the multliple rows of desks. She didn't expect many to be showing up... Only two had signed up for the class... But stragglers were always welcome. Enelya set down two largely sized Herb books, and another medical book. She smoothed her light blue tee, and straightened her layered purple skirt. Enelya jumped a little, and sat atop of her desk, waiting for the individuals who had signed up for the class. She was going to be a teacher...

Enelya's eyes went wide as she saw her first student walk through the door. She raised an eyebrow, but didn't fail at shaking the little girl's hand, and greeting her with a warm smile. She jumped off of the desk, and showed Jennifer to a seat. Her voice was warm, and friendly and she introduced herself. "You guessed it! Nice to meet you Jennifer. You can sit wherever you like. Litterally. I think only one other student besides yourself signed up for this class."

Archimedes scittered across the slick desk and went flying towards the trashcan. Enelya gasped, and lost her calm composure, and ran towards him, catching him before he hit the ground. "This here is Archimedes, my lizard." She said, laughing, walked to Jennifer. "Nice catch." He squeaked in annoyance.

Enelya smiled, and looked down at her lizard. Speaking in lizard tongue, she told him: "Hear that, she thinks your cute." Archimedes rolled his eyes in his stoic way, and Enelya laughed at him, putting him back on the front desk. "No more running, okay?" She told him.

Enelya looked around, seeing she might as well start the class, or at least introductions. "Well.. let's see.." she started, not sure where she would begin her class. "As you know, I'm Miss Norvayn, and I'm really excited about teaching you Herbology! I really love this subject, well, because I can manipulate plants," she said, as she raised her left hand, making a tall sunflower bloom right from the floor. "And I can also speak to animals, as well as plants."

Enelya smiled, and nodded. "Well, I figure if anything, you need to learn how to identify plants before you start making things with them. This of course, is a sunflower, but..." She raised her right hand, making a small plant with extended shoots and thin leaves sprout from her desk. "Do you know what this is? It is a common cooking ingredient, that I hear goes wonderfully on potatoes." She laughed, taking her hand, and brushing it over the leaves several times, "it smells good too." She offered her hand to Jennifer to smell as well.

Enelya shook her head, and smelled the plant herself. "I don't know about minty potatoes... We might have to try that sometime in an experiment! But no, this, Jennifer, is Rosemary." She plucked it, and handed it to her. "If you want, you can start a journal, and put this inside so you remember what it looks like."

Enelya wasn't really sure how to run a class, or where to start... She hoped she was doing alright... Though Jennifer seemed a little confused. "What kind of things do you know, Jennifer?"
