In the mood they were both in. Poor Caleb. Mo decided the boy was a perfect addition to the group, if only to keep things from getting politely murderous.

"Yeah, we should be a group. I'd really like to try finding a kelpie and an augury, if we have time. Plants offer less of a challenge." Mo tipped a shoulder at Alice, inviting her to come before stalking over to Wand Dude and taking a map, a sack, and one of the stones. "Let's go... toward the water." Mo pointed between the trees.

Still sulking though.

"I want to find everything," she announced, tailing after Cactus and the first year as they headed for the water. "It won't be that hard. And a challenge. Rowan wood and dittany stalk can't be that much more difficult to harvest than the others." It was dividable too, right? "We can each harvest an item by ourselves, then maybe do the last together. Or we could do all of them as a group."

Unless the boys were going to be killjoys and limit her to less than four items.

Alice gave them hopeful looks.
