After tending to her wounds Lukina focused on settling into Insomnia. As the weeks went on she learned of Medusa's desire to expand the pack into a nearby territory called the Whistling Willows and as a Necromancer she was asked to lead a group of healers into the territory to see what options there were for herb gathering. While Lukina's specialty was combat medicine she had enough knowledge of herbs to be successful at this venture and she was eager to make herself useful so that she could repay her debt.

As the sun rose above the horizon Lukina gathered her knapsack and called for her fellow healers to join her on an herb hunting expedition. Summer would be a good time to hunt and as she arrived at the willows it seemed like a lush territory. Lukina set about scouting the territory, wandering along the southern border and as she neared the southeastern edge she spied a lovely flowering plant. It stood about a foot high with small white flowers nestled in amongst the fuzzy leaves. White Horehound!

Lukina let out a call to the others that she'd found something. Carefully she began to harvest the leaves as her antlered arctic fox companion wrapped around her front leg. "What is this one for?" Lukina set down the leaves onto a square of hide that she'd wrap up and store in her knapsack. "White horehound tea and syrup are excellent for coughs and colds. Something we'll need for the upcoming winter season."

ooc: We need to gather 4 herbs total. I figure each healer can be in charge of finding an herb unless someone wants me to do another.

Her mother mentioned there was a new healer among the ranks. Thank God, because she was tired of being the only healer in the pack that was worth their salt. She obviously hadn't met this new healer yet, but part of her was eager to find out who it was. Luckily, an unfamiliar voice was calling from the nearby Willows, and Rue had a feeling it was the very same healer she was thinking about. She wasted no time in arriving, pausing for a few moments to scan the area, and she spotted the pale coat of who she assumed was one of Insomnia's newer members. The other woman was tending to a plant that Rue had seen a handful of times, but she hadn't yet discovered what its uses were. So she was pleasantly surprised upon approach to hear that it was good for something. Approaching the alabaster wolf, she dipped her head in greeting. "Hello. I'm Rougarou. I'm glad Insomnia has another healer. It was becoming quite tedious being the only one." She stated with her usual monotony. She looked past Lukina then, spotting the familiar leaves of a water garlic plant closer to the waters edge. Without hesitation, she walked over to it, checking the plants over before selecting one for harvest, carefully digging away at the base to expose the bulb. Carefully pulling it out of the ground, she wiped off the excess dirt and checked it over, pleased to find that it was in fact, ready for harvest. "Rue was hoping they'd be ready. Looks like she was right." Now she had to dig up several more to ensure she had a decent stock before the heat killed everything off. "Speak"

he had been filled already, aware of the packs expansions. he branched off early from medusa's den, her scent all over him as he assumed duty for insomnia. hearing a call, he followed it to the willows. a beautiful place and certainly the right one to pick. with a busy trot, Érebos found himself upon two women. why was it that men left out the necessities of bodily knowledge? his own father had been skilled in anatomy and herbs. with such a skill.. anything was possible.

"I assume we're all doing the same thing then?" he greeted them both with a brief nod. he recognized rou but not the other as he glanced between them for a moment before looking for useful herb. it was then after some searching and uncovering that he did spot a pale white flower. sniffing it, he confirmed aloud, "And I've found boneset. good for reducing fevers and join pain." his eyes skimmed the ground, looking for more.
