Sticks snapped under your feet, Severus was plucking various plants from the floor.

You had no idea what was happening, and had merely been dragged along because he liked your company- and he needed someone to hold the herbs.

Severus found himself low on dittany and horklumps and was in desperate need of more. He didn’t have the time to order more in.

After a beat of quiet, a small sigh came from Severus, “why did you agree to come?” He asked curiously, “I thought this would be rather boring.”
