Hera had spent quite a lot of time in the library since arriving at school; between this, cataloging the flora on the school grounds and tending her gardens, her time had been mostly spent with things involving plants, in fact.
She was learning something new every day and being here was far more exciting than she'd expected it to be when her mother had first said she was going off to school. She'd imagined a boring, musty old place which had nothing to suit her interests and no interesting creeple at all - the truth, she'd quickly found, was quite far from that.
Spending most of her time in the herbology section, she'd seen students come and go, but none had seemed particularly invested in the subject.
Which was why she at first gave no thought to the undead ghoul sitting at the desk until she passed by on her way to get a new book and noticed the notes.
Not that she could read them in passing, of course, but there were drawings and no-one drew something they were not interested in, right?
Unconsciously drawing closer to the desk she forgot about her original purpose, instead peeking more closely at the other ghoul's research. "Are you taking notes for a class?"

She'd drawn close enough to the desk to absently tap her fingers on the surface as she watched the other ghoul for her reply. She made a faint humming noise at the words 'personal research' and blinked languidly as the other ghoul talking about learning the basics.
"I am Hera and no, I don't believe we have." She considered the other ghoul for a moment more before speaking again; "but then I've only recently arrived at school, so it is not such a great wonder." Hesitating, fingers still tapping a small rhythm, she looked from the notes on the desk and back to Sophie, "though I am only an apprentice and no expert myself, should you wish someone to discuss your studies with...?"
She'd have balked at declaring herself less than an expert in anything other than flora, but if there was one thing the druidess took very seriously it was her study of plants and potions-making. In the pursuit of betterment there was to be no ego, her mother had instructed. Be proud of your accomplishments yes, but do not think yourself above learning.

Hera let herself be pulling down to the chair, gracefully taking a seat. Atlas was off in another part of the library - sunbathing in a window last she had seen him, but he was near should she need him, she had no doubt.
The other ghoul's obvious excitement made her crack a smile, unreasonably proud that she'd been able to garner such a reaction. Of course, it was only natural for a Queen, but to find another who shared her passion for flora was always a joy.
At the end of the ramble, she gave a small laugh, before shaking her head; "no, I have nowhere else I need to be. And," her nose wrinkled, "the book I was in the middle of turned out be particularly droll, so no great loss there."
"As for the poppies," she thought for a moment, recalling what she knew about them. "Did you try to grow them indoors? They thrive outside and although you can grow them indoors, it's a bit of a hassle frankly. And you're completely right about the seeds, although I would suggest some caution with the dosage. It can vary greatly depending on the person's size, as well as the potency of the seeds in question, and mistaking the dosage can be quite dangerous."
