Kewero pinched some dried mint from a bag and dropped it into her teapot. "During my long years of life I've learned that sometimes the best way to understand a difficult subject is to divert the mind away from it. Rest is just as important to learning as action. A quiet mind sometimes understands things better. So I want you to focus intently on another task this morning."
"What would you like me to do?"
The water in the kettle was boiling so Kewero poured it into the pot. "After we eat, I would like you to leave the caverns for a while and exercise that horse of yours. Deru needs the workout and you need to quiet your mind." Kewero's face split into a smile. "While you're out, you might want to keep your eye open for any game. It would be nice to have some fresh meat for a change."
"That it would be," she agreed enthusiastically as she accepted a cup of tea.
"Now you understand my plans for dinner," Kewero confessed. "I hope you don't mind."
Flindra laughed. "Not in the least."
