Thank god the parade was over, it was probably in some children's nightmare or something. Raquel moved her butt out to the training centre the next day, greeted by quite the commotion at the weapons area. Just stay out of sight, out of mind, that's all Raquel's ever good at. It wasn't worth trying to mix with them. She made her out to an empty station, one that looked overly complicated. Well, nothing like the present right? She sighed as she stood in front of the trainer, with a table separating them, sprawled with plants and first aid kits. "Alright, hit me," she said as she mentally prepared for the information overload. It's been so long since she's actually been taught something Raquel might as well forget how to learn. The trainer taught her from the real basics of what was in the kit. He was probably irritated by her when she asked the most ridiculous questions; picking up a roll of bandaid and asking what's it for, what's tylenol, why are there needles in this. It got worst when he moved on to the plants, or so he called them herbs. They all looked like weed to her. The mushrooms were easier to tell apart but give her an hour she'll probably forget them all.

"Uh, Dandelion, cure for acid. Catnip, fever. Motherwort.. cough?" Raquel pointed her fingers, excited for a split second hoping that she got it right only to receive a defeated shake of the trainer's head. She was so confused, sighing in frustration, but she continued to stay on, realising the privilege for learning again. She paused for a moment, collected her tired thoughts and challenged the trainer, "again."

Seb hummed to himself as he switched stations. So far he could hack a dummy to death, and purify water. Seb had no idea what to do if he hurt himself though, or an ally got her, he quickly thought. When he got to the medical station a girl was standing there. Her and the instructor were drilling over the different plants, though the girl didn't seem too good at it either. Seb studied the different leaves and flowers, but he knew there'd be no way he could find them in the wild. Separated he could see the difference, but in a forest all of the greens seemed to blend together. "How can you tell which from what?" Seb asked. He was a mechanic, not a doctor or gardener.

Raquel ruffled her hair in frustration when a boy, from 6, came over at that time. Why do they all have to be green? A colourful forest with colourful plants would've been cool. She was getting irritated quickly, but she just couldn't swallow the pill that she can't do it. A chance to learn and she screws up. "They probably don't. Bet they Guesstimate and hope and pray it's right," Raquel grinned while the trainer shot her a look and rolled his eyes. She felt the tension in her release a little seeing that someone else came along. She wasn't going to like it but it seems that she'll need to compromise and just throw out the more useless stuff and absorb the most essential ones. She sulked while she scanned and went through them again in her head, silence creeping up around the station. Raquel felt a sense of uneasiness as she glanced to the boy from 6, wondering if he was having an easier time at this.

Seb sighed and studied the plants again, which didn't help. The more he looked at them the similar they became. He bent down and studied the leaves and flowers slightly more in-depth. "I can survive with a toothache or a cough, but what about fever's and poisons?" Seb asked. The instructor pointed to two plants, one that would help bring a fever down, and another that would help bring out the poison of a wasp, at least that's what Seb guessed it could be used for. He wasn't quite sure what to expect. But he focused on those two plants the most trying to make their color and shape burn into his head.
