She didn't really know how to process what she'd learned here, it would take time for the depth of the anger welling up within her to make itself known. For now she was tired and uncertain and -though she wouldn't admit it aloud - thankful to be doing these errands she'd set out to do instead of standing around mulling over things. Yes, she was glad she knew the extant of what happened in the raid, but she was pretty irked that she had to hear it from someone other than Dragon himself. If he couldn't open up and share important things with her what was the point? Closing her cerulean eyes she took in a few slow breaths, letting her mind clear so she could cool off. Better to let her knee-jerk reactions subside before she headed back to Auster... For the time being though, she was busy anyways.

Regarding the crimson male, Iskra decided that maybe if she learned more she'd pass it on to him. Her travels would probably take her all over Boreas before she was done. If she learned more and ended up near his pack, she might feel obligated to share. After all, she wasn't sure how many packs had reliable emissaries to send messages. As long as she was fact finding and herb hunting she might be tempted to fill such a role to entertain herself...

"An impressive resume indeed, I'm inclined to think you may just be the perfect man to aid me in this quest for herbs," she said with a smirk, her demeanor mirroring his and becoming more relaxed as he did. She couldn't help but find it irritating to think someone so easy to talk to and get along with was raided seemingly unnecessarily. Their exchanges thus far went well, each of the pair offering information and acting cordially. Ah well, back to the topic at hand. "I'll have to keep an eye out for such wolves in my travels. I want to bring back as many herbs as I can when I finally return to Auster and hopefully make myself invaluable to these Abraxas. I imagine they'll like having someone to aid their healers without taking up space in their ranks." after all, they seemed like smart, calculating individuals. They'd know a good recourse when they saw one.

Her face scrunched up as she considered Regulus' question. Finally she shrugged and admitted, "I don't think it was discussed. But, in hopes of matching the value of unspecified favors, I think I should look for herbs that are less common. Actually, ones that don't grow at all in Auster would be ideal no matter the rarity since it would be a long trip for them to collect such plants... I suppose function doesn't matter a great deal but I imagine they need mostly herbs to help treat wounds, what with their family being bent on conquering. They must get in a lot of fights and do a good deal of sparing and the like." Iskra was pretty proud of her deductions. It made her feel like she was actually out accomplishing things, learning, and getting to exercise her brain for once.
