The healer journeyed by the Rio Grande for the first time, keeping an experienced eye on herbs and growing things as she passed. Occasionally she would see a salmon break the water, little tail wavering before it landed once more with a soft splash. She already knew what lunch was going to look like, with the fish practically begging to be caught. She hadn’t done much fishing in her life, and relished the challenge.

She was just considering a spot to sit and wait for her chosen prey, when the scent of a wolf caught her attention. She glanced about, at first seeing nothing and no one, before she realised that the shape of grey by the rivers edge had nothing to do with rocks.

She dropped the bait she had been carrying in her maw, and leaped forward, instinct telling her there was nothing natural about the way the wolf lay there. Had she been washed ashore? But no, her coat was mostly dry, just the occasional spray from the river peppered her fur. She slowed as she reached the wolf, sniffing cautiously. The woman was alive, her nose told her that. It also told her this Lady was old, her coat held a lackluster sheen, dulled and brittle. Riva gently nosed her chin, mind already flicking to what herbs she could provide, and why this Lady was here all alone when she should have family around her, caring for her. Already Riva felt a squeezing in her gut at finding someone so fragile so very alone. “Lady?’ she murmured gently as she waited for the woman to wake.

She had some dried Gingeng Root, a rare herb she offered mixed with others to create her desired effect, and spread out its usefulness. She carefully pried some free of her ribbon now, knowing the woman would need the energy. In the long term this woman would need a mixture of things like Juniper..
