(Arthurius is teaching Gabriel Gathering I)
Arthurius stopped in the middle of a small clearing in the rood, they'd wandered into a small forest a while back, it was the perfect place for the lesson that he had in mind for the young thief to learn. If she wanted to be of any use to him, she would have to learn how to gather materials for his alchemy, she would have to earn her keep and at least pretend that she was going to be useful to him in some way shape or form.
Arthurius turned to look behind him, looking Gabriel directly in the eye, they'd walked several miles out of Morith and it had taken them just over two hours, he wondered if she was much worse for wear or if she was used to this sort of work. But either way he was about to put her through her paces once again, although what she was about to do for work wasn't as physically taxing on the legs and muscles, it was incredibly taxing on the eyes as you had to keep a sharp look out to make sure that you didn't miss anything. But she would learn this....soon enough.
"Alright, i'm going to give you a crash course in gathering, in the wilds such as where we are now it is an essential skill, and even moreso when you have an alchemist or herbalist around to utilise what you can gather. Now herbs and plants aren't always out in the open, you may have to look inside bushes, in hollowed out trees or under rocks, there's always something to be found if you can look hard enough. Now i'm going to try and gather up a few bits and pieces, come and help me."
44/45 Stamina
Arthurius uses Gather I and Herbalism I with Alchemy I to try and gather some materials, assisted by an unskilled (assuming Gabriel does as she is told and helps him)

It had been a long trip, but Arthurius seemed to know where he was going. Gabriel however had no clue. She knew her way round the forest and how to survive. Well about survive, but why were they in a clearing. Obviously he was going to teach Gabriel a thing or two about something.
As soon as Arthurius said gathering, Gabriel gave out a moan of despair. Gathering! Really, well at least she was learning something new, maybe she would teach him something after. If Arthurius let Gabriel.
He talked on and on, Gabriel listened as this would be important, but just wanted it over and done with so followed Arthurius and did what he said. "I'll come and help and maybe after i can teach you a thing or two." Gabriel follows Arthurius and looks at what he does trying to help here and there

"See, now what i'm holding here should be fairly obvious i'm sure you've seen it all before. It's simply straw, leaves and a dragonfruit that we've found ,it was fairly simple really wasn't it, didn't take to long and we got a decent bit out of it. Now as far as i know the straw and the leaves aren't particularly useful, but here's a good piece of advice. If you're ever in a pinch and feeling rough, eat a dragonfruit, they can help to revitalise you, they give you energy as well as increasing your regenerative rate, a truly useful plant in a pinch."
Arthurius twirled the dragonfruit around before placing it in his pocket along with the Straw and Leaves, hopefully they'd be useful later, his last little bit of Alchemy hadn't gone well at all, he'd ended up with no resulting potion and instead just a simple mess of dragonfruit mush mixed with random rubbish that he had pulled out of his pockets. But that had been a learning experience and learn he had done, now he can playing them and we need wins.
Arthurius turned to Gabriel "Let's try again, the more we can get now the less we'll have to later meaning that we wont be in as much of a rush or hurry later, then i can just get on with things if i can actuaully trust you to get me some decent resources. Now then, under rocks there can also be some ingredients, they are just harder to get to, oh well we're doing it anyway, you have to learn."

This wasn't has hard, or as boring, as Gabriel thought this would be. It was peaceful and rather fun. They had found a dragon fruit, and some other rubbish but they could sell it if they wanted too. She knew that Arthurius would do all the splitting of money but he would still get some. It was nice of Arthurius to be sharing a bit of knowledge with Gabriel about dragonfruits, Gabriel would have to keep some around just in case he got into a scrap later on with anyone.
"Let's try again, the more we can get now the less we'll have to later meaning that we wont be in as much of a rush or hurry later, then i can just get on with things if i can actuaully trust you to get me some decent resources."
Get more resources later, Gabriel could see himself being in the fields a lot more. He wondered if Arthurius was seeing this for the money or for something else. He is a very strange man. Well at least the dragon fruit they got seemed okay, unlike the over ripened ones at the market before. As Arthurius said about searching for more stuff again, Gabriel followed him and tried to learn from him and help where he could

"See this isn't to bad is it, already the haul isn't looking to bad" Arthurius said as he gathered up the straw he'd found, secreting it away for later use, this forest, even so close to the city as it was, seemed pretty untouched by the hands of the Cruinthians living near it, in fact there was quite a large haul of natural resources to be found around if one had the skills and the drive to look for them in the way that Arthurius did.
Gabriel appeared to be thinking hard about something so Arthurius walked over to the young woman and clapped his hands in front of her face to break her out of her thoughts and back to the task at hand, sure they were doing well so far but they would need to continue concentrating if they planned on getting any more results. "Concentrate, concentration is key otherwise you might miss something that you later might need"
And with that Arthurius turned back to his work, presumably with Gabriel in tow.

After finding the straw Gabriel had half drifted off into a daydream. All of a sudden a clapping brought his senses. "Oh yer finding, gotta get it all. Sometime I will have to teach you something Arthurius, it could be fun."The straw they had collected hadn't seemed much but to Arthurius it seemed a lot so Gabriel just carried on searching for different materials with him.
Searching everywhere wasn't too hard, but could be said as easy. Things were everywhere but hidden in plain site. Arthurius was a quick worker when he was gathering and searching always knowing where to look. Gabriel wondered how could he could get if he kept trying. Well back to work can't day dream on the job.

"Leaves and straw, bountiful in this area, sure they seem incredibly common and useless, usually trodden underfoot by the masses infact, they are completely unaware of the benefits that these plants can have, the use that they can be put to even if they do appear oh so basic and useless. For instance, leaves can make an adequate base for most alchemical work, and if you can find enough straw you can eventually make paper, not a particularly profitable or amazing thing, but in a world where you can't find many books yourself it'd be nice to be able to write one." Arthurius stopped himself, he'd said far to much, books were outlawed and he'd just admitted to wanting one, he just hoped that Gabriel either wouldn't tell anyone his secret wish or wasn't listening properly.
"Anyway, carry on looking"Arthurius said hurriedly before once again immersing himself in his work, although this time he had na eye on Gabriel to see her reaction.

Gabriel was happy with what they had found. It was hard work doing this but it was fun. Arthurius kept talking about what everything you could do. Ya da ya da ya da. So on and so on. Then he said something about books Gabriel instantly started listening. "...not a particularly profitable or amazing thing, but in a world where you can't find many books yourself it'd be nice to be able to write one."
Gabriel tried keeping a straight face like he was still day dreaming. Arthurius wanted a book. That was big news, it just meant that he had something on him if he ever tried to rat Gabriel out. " Yes lets get back to searching shouldn't we, we are doing well." Gabriel kept trying to control himself while they carried on searching around for materials.

"We are doing well yes, particularly this lot" He said, holding out their newest finds, "These are all very useful materials although I cannot quite remember the use of Foxberry. Leaves and Catpad's serve as bases if my memory serve correct meaning they are the base of any alchemists work."
Arthurius examined the new ingredients they'd just found, all of them seemed to be of fairly high quality with very few imperfections on them, not particularly marred by nature nor mauled by animals, things were starting to look up for him definitely if he was finding this amount of ingredients.
"Keep looking, if we can find another decent haul like that then i'll be set for at the least several days of work, as it is we have done really well with what we've got."

Gabriel was pretty proud of that last haul. It had been their biggest yet. He only really knew what the dragon fruit did so if he found some on his own he would defiantly keep some just in case. Hopefully, Gabriel and Arthurius would gather together another time.
As Arthurius talked about what these items could do in alchemist work Gabriel didn't overly listen. He wasn't interested in the works of alchemy. It bored him. He was more of a fighter, or a thief. He hadn't stole anything for a while. Some day.
Then Gabriel got back to searching with Arthurius. "We should do this again sometime, its fun and quite rewarding. I think I am getting the hang of it, or maybe I could choose the activity next time?" Back to work.
