"I'd like that," Beverly says warmly, smiling over at Wanda. "If they're friends of yours, they must be good people." She might be assuming a lot here, but it's meant in a friendly way.

"I don't see why I can't keep helping you for as long as you want me to. I'm always happy to share the knowledge I have or learn what someone else might have to teach me." Knowledge is power in many ways, but it also serves its function, a function she feels has a large role to play in the village here.

And when she finds herself in possession of seeds, particularly herbs she knows well, then she'll definitely continue. The higher their stash of medicinal herbs, the better.
