When the going gets tough

Rœkia nodded, yes packs tended to be a bit more afflicted by colds and flu. "It's a useful herb, I'm well stocked with boneset. Looking for more exotic plants today…" She debated asking the woman if she had any help to offer but this was a personal quest that Rœkia had been at for quite some time and she was determined to find her quarry herself. Rœ laughed at the woman's question. "Well, I do like grubs but I'm hunting for various medicinal fungus right now. It's hard with winter taking over most of the land." She continued sniffing around, Wolf landing on her back midway for a moment before taking off in a nearby tree.

Rœkia rolled her eyes at the male voice that said 'Boneset'. No shit sherlock. She frowned at the other woman's praise of his knowledge. What healer worth their salt didn't know what boneset was? She, on the other hand, had rarer prizes to find and she continued rooting through the log, paws flinging loose some fungus that she'd found…. white rot. She eyed it uncertain if it was worth anything. Now if one of these wolves knew if any of this stuff had medical properties then she'd ben impressed. The male definitely seemed foreign with his freakish pelt and she wondered if he had any knowledge worth sharing.

Wolf hopped up her back, perching on her head, his beak parted in wonder as he started at the pretty wolf. So…. pretty, oh, oh he really wanted a golden hair. Rœkia ignored him. He wasn't that handsome. Freakish if anything… Her ears flicked up as the woman introduced herself as Amalia. The male was Ankaios. Names noted she looked up from what she was doing, giving Amalia her attention. "You could say that." She grinned at the mention of height. It wasn't often she met wolves shorter than her, especially not in this land where everyone seemed to be a giant.

Ears flicked at the sound of approaching paws and she turned to see a snowy male with blue eyes staring at Ankaios. Amalia would continue to chat away mentioning her specialties, namely the healing of children. She debating if she should honestly word her specialties or not. There were those who would immediately assume the worst of her. "I'm fascinated by the negative effects of various healing herbs as well as plants that are best avoided. I've seen the negative effects of an overdose of boneset first hand but that is not my quarry this morning. I am well stocked of it." She eyed the striped male. "Well? You going to stand there gaping all day or introduce yourself? I'm Magpie."
