Perhaps it had been the adventure that had caused her to grow up, perhaps it was constantly being the 'big sister' for Rishima and her sudden desire to actually want to be responsible. Through many trials Jerarda had become more humble and somewhat more modest, she had plans on getting Rishima to Chibale islands and letting him meet with the great mother. It still threw her off...referring to Rishima as male, when she had spent a great deal of energy trying to convince herself he was her 'sister'. But...it was quite the opposite, he was her 'brother' and she would have to accept that.
Jerarda noted that the girl following her into the forest almost seemed...dissapointed at the kiss, it caused her to chuckle deep in her throat before she wrapped an arm around the kill and kissed her on her forehead.
"Don't look so dissapointed else I will have to kiss you more passionately next time." Was her comment as she re-released her before beckoning her to follow.

Aminah could only blush harder. She needed to get a grip on herself. The kiss on the forehead made that spot feel unnecessarily warm, like it was a growing and glowing spot on her face.
Aminah swallowed hard at Jerarda's words. It was what she had been expecting the first time, but now that she felt fully embarrassed she didn't know if she should want it at all anymore. Besides... she liked guys right? Aminah could only rationalize it to herself that because Jerarda was so dominant and in a way masculine she couldn't help but feel drawn to her. Especially since she didn't have much experience with anyone else. Maybe it was just the size difference that made her so vulnerable to her confusing feelings.
She squeezed her hands around the bag slung across her shoulder and took a deep breath before continuing inward. Jerarda had grown up, but Aminah might not have. She felt so childish. She was slowly becoming lost in thought, replaying the last 5 minutes repeatedly. She barely noticed how deep they may or may not be moving, let alone looking at any of the plants anymore.

Jerarda noticed the girl seemed very distracted as they moved into the forest, it really didn't help matters since Jera was wondering now if the girl had actually wanted a deep and passionate kiss. Should she give it to her? All parts of Jera's head shouted why not? And yet...there was a more mature voice plainly telling her it wasn't a good idea. So in order to distract herself from her thoughts she stopped and looked around their surroundings, after all there were plenty of plants it was just finding one that was safe to handle.
"There is one." Jera stated as she pointed her spear at a rather scraggly looking bush, that several times in a year produce a fruit that was edible. It wasn't a big bush, which meant moving it wouldn't be too damaging to it.
"That bush produces berries, its suppose to make you more fertile." or so she had heard anyway.

Aminah snapped out of her thoughts at Jerarda's summons. "Oh!" She stared intently at the plant listening to the explanation. The mention of fetility made her blush in Jerarda's presence. But then she wondered... how exactly does that work for Alkidikes? She barely had enough knowledge about her own kind, let alone a different species. She forced her thoughts to turn to better places. Maybe if her mom had this she could have another sibling. That would be nice.
"This seems useful. I don't think we have any plants that do that in Tale. Do you mind if we stop so I can gather a few cuttings to grow in my garden?" She started to rustle through her bag for the small makeshift shovel and knife she kept in her bag for such occassions and pulled out a woven container with it. "Are they just for fertility, or can they be eaten with meals?" Aminah was back to intent focus on her plants, a look of complete concentration as she began extracting what she needed to make sure at least one strand of plant survived on her workbench before they were strong enough to move to her garden permanently.
She had to remember to get a drawing of the plant before they left, now that she thought about it.

Jerarda probably should of mentioned that by 'fertility' she actually meant heightened sexual awareness. Making the said person who ate it rather lustful. But considering she was from a race of only females 'fertility' wasn't really needed but some like to indulge in the berry to become more sexual to their other sisters.
Looking over to where Animah stood she nodded her head, after all she had stopped and explained the plant so that Animah could gather it.
"Of course, just be quick lingering in one spot often dangerous. Creatures here are hungry and will target any prey rather quickly if they aren't on the move."
At her second question she had to think on it. "Well I suppose if you really wanted to be sexually active after your meal you could." Came her response with a half shrug.

Aminah was in the process of gather a few plant strands when Jerarda mentioned sexual activity. Oh... Her blush blossomed over her face again. So not fertility. Oops. She should have known things like that would be of the least importance for Alkidike women. It was a good thing that her hair was hiding her face, though she had this odd feeling that her blush was radiating to her shoulders at this point.
She answered Jerarda as calmly as she could. "Oh, I see... Well... I'm sure that will be useful to some, at least... I'm almost finished gathering plants, I'll just need to get some quick drawings of the full plant before we can go."
She put the little woven baskets back into her bag with the utmost care and caution and pulled out a small bound sketch pad and charcoal pencil. She wasn't exactly the best at drawing, but she could get at least the general leaf shape and shape and size of the plant when full grown.
Her pencil scratched against the surface of the page. "Thank you for helping me with this again. I'm really grateful that I found you or rather you found me, or else I would have been wandering around with no idea what I was doing and probably go home empty handed."
She finished her sketches and notations and carefully closed the pad so as to not smear the pages. She placed it back in her bag and stood to face Jerarda once again.

Jerarda was keeping a sharp watch for any creatures that may decide that a pair of humanoids staying in one place may end up being a tasty snack. Though she couldn't help but be curious watching the woman work. After all the concept of drawing the plant seemed odd to her, since the plant was right in front of her and she intended on taking it back with her.
Perhaps she was drawing it in case it died before they got it back there? Then at least she would know what it looked like. When the girl turned back to her declaring her appreciation she found herself really wanting to envelope her in a hug but refrained.
"Alright, you think that one plant is enough? I should probably head back to my camp else my comrade will wonder where I went."

Aminah looked down at her bag. "I think this one will do for now. I'll eventually have to take plenty more trips over here to gather better food plants, but maybe by then I'll know more about what I'm looking for."
She fidgeted a bit with her things, unsure about how she should say goodbye. Jerarda was starting to grow on Aminah; maybe they could be friends after all. She started to chew on her lip before deciding. She scooted her bag of contents behind her back and wrapped Jerarda in a hug. "Thank you for helping me."
She withdrew quickly and righted her bag. "I should probably get going also. These little guys won't last forever and I have a ways to go before I'm home."

Jerarda gave a curt nod of her head, yes it was probably best they parted ways wasn't it? Though the alkidike woman hated to admit that she was going to miss the young woman's company though she could always come and visit she supposed. It was strange to look back on her past behaviors and how she had treated this woman rather unfairly as well others. She made a mental note to locate the one shifter she had come across before, and properly apologize to him.
"Of course. Do be careful on your way back Animah. " Jerarda stated as she turned to look at the forest in front of them. It was dark in the lower branches, and she walked towards one of the tree's and nimbly climbed up and into the branches. She would of course make sure that Animah got home safely out of the forest, by staying quiet and up amongst the trees before she would turn and locate Rishima and see about working on a way back to the islands.
