God I love Luna so much! <3
She is so cute and kind, and I love the snark xD

Glad to know that Mira does get some consequence for her small actions :)

i hope Luna becomes Chili's new teacher

If i remember right that is already official since the ref sheet of Chili shows her as Adult and with some more experience in healing and such stuff.

Reference sheet? Where?

Too cute

Chili hiding in the blanket is adorable,
perks of having large eyes i guess

Chili's didn't know any better least she start a new life with new friends

;O; aawwww

Oh she Chilli did Poisen the chief, but hey at least the Tree healed him :)

This is such a cute page. And man, poor little Chili. She tried her best!

Awww it's gonna be okay!

I want to hug Chili! She looks like she needs a hug!

Haha, grounded for another week? Seems Mira has already done that a LOT. XD

And nice to know that the chief is well. Chili just wanted to do something good and did her best but she probably needs to learn much more before she can help others.

"Haha, grounded for another week? Seems Mira has already done that a LOT"

What's one more week when added to the 30 she still needs to serve?

Hehe, true. XD

Screw get teacher Chili has been through enough.

Still glad to see the chief is better and good lord do I love Luna.

So, she did poison him after all..
Well, medicine that's too strong, indeed, becomes a poison.

Do or do NOT there is no TRY something Chili needs to learn. When somethings life is in your hands "trying" simply is not enough you need to take this crap more seriously. She's lucky someone more competent was there to fix her mistakes and maybe teach her better.

For Mirelle:
Hello, Darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again.

Chili looks very adorable on this page; I hope she recovers from all these woes. Also, I like the interaction between Luna and Miralle. :3

Mom knows, Miralle! Mommy always knows everything!

Also, glad the chief is ok, even if Mino probably is not... Guess the teacher wouldn't be too sorry to know Chilli left with the Tree of Life.

So it was poison...damn.

Yay the chief survived and he doesn’t blame her since he knows she was just trying to help

I hate to be that guy, but it didn’t matter if she was simply trying to help. I’m glad she becomes a better healer later in life, but at this point in her life she really should have known better. She struggled more than the other kids, she even heard that there was not enough ingredients to make the medicine. Yet she tried anyways. She lacked proper judgement, and had the tree not come, would have been responsible for the chief’s death. I know this is fiction, but the lessons are important. If one is not educated enough in something that will make a difference between life and death, they shouldn’t take it into their own hands to try, good intentions or not. As is shown, trying to save a life without proper knowledge can and will result in death.

But I digress, I love this story and the character development. It’s unfortunate Chili had to learn the hard way, but it’s an effective lesson learned.

I suspect that Luna may be a better teacher for Chili, with the much more even temper, and probably being able to teach Chili some techniques to help her get through her apparent issues in herbal medicine crafting.

Thats a damn relief and the chief has no hate towards her cause she thought she had the cure. She just needs practice and patience before heading off, xI

Love your art <3

Is there anything that would actually make the tree of life truly upset with someone?

Fuck that teacher who could never teach her right and then blame her

Yeah Chili's teacher is terrible at...well, teaching. Yelling at a child that has made a mistake does not better them, it does the very opposite.

Good to know the Chief is better and is not angry with Chili. Her teacher on other hand... heck, she kept medicine in the reach of a kid without any supervision, and them yelled at her and said if the Chief died it would be Chili's fault?! Yeah, screw her, the Tree is a much better teacher.

I'm going to be that guy. Chili nearly killed her Chief. The old saying goes a little knowledge can be dangerous. A child wanting to do a good deed can cause a lot of problems. That said. I would give her teacher, Mino, the ass chewing of a lifetime. You do not leave dangerous items out and leave you class of healers unattended! As a teacher she is severely lacking in attention to detail, empathy for her students, giving instructions and guidance, and being critical without correcting the student. Not demonstrating proper preparation.

Luna grounds Mira for another week... xD

I think it's still not a good idea to go back, can't take too many chances - she'd be pressing her luck

Maybe Luna can cure Chili's (color blindness - as a guess). I bet she'll make an amazing healer once she can tell what she's mixing together.

Ah yes, such a good idea to just straight up tell a child "yeah you poisoned your chief and I almost didn't make it to save him", veeeeery smart ma'am

No, Luna's right to tell Chili exactly that. Chili screwed up badly, even if she didn't mean to, and even if she knows how bad she screwed up it'd be stupid to expect a child to grasp the full gravity of her actions without someone saying so. Chili deserves the honest, full, truth, about her actions and the consequences that could have come about because of them. That will help her be better going forward.

As far as the dialogue goes, it's just a Callback to Mino straight-out warning Chili that she could wind up poisoning somebody just a few pages prior, but that's actually how you have to talk to children in a situation like this. We were all kids, we all know damn-well that 'Because I said so', or 'Because God' never works because when our parents told us that we just went ahead and did it anyway, but if we were told why we probably never would have stuck that fork in the outlet, or put our hand in the garbage disposal, or grabbed a hot cookie sheet without a glove. Kids can handle the truth better than adults can, let 'em have it.

Well said!

And Luna tells her without putting any blame or anger into it, merely stating it as a fact.
SO much better at handling it than that teacher.

Poor Chili :'(
