Smells Like Rain Spirits

Lydia seemed to seriously consider Aggie's teasing question, but the dusky shewolf was not about to complain. She would be grateful for any amount of knowledge the older woman was willing to depart. She had heard before that agrimony could cause complications, but it was a good confirmation to hear it from another source as well. Asgeira grinned. "I'll keep that in mind." Both women were content with what they had gathered, and with Ylva back up on her shoulders they set out a bit further.

It was a nice change of pace, traveling if only briefly with a likeminded wolf. There were plenty of rogues and travelers in these parts, but it was rare enough that Aggie came across healers. Or at least, healers willing to risk uncovering rare surprises in the company of others. Lydia seemed only to appreciate her company, and so Aggie returned the favor. In fact, it wasn't long until the older woman was calling out. "Aggie, over here! I found some." The younger shewolf approached at a trot, and found Lydia before a small cluster of glossy green leaves.

Luckily, poisons and toxins were a specialty of Ylva's. The pair had gathered a fair share of dangerous herbs in their travels, and most of Aggie's prior knowledge stemmed from from those ventures. The red panda quickly bounded down from her shoulders. "The root holds the most toxins, so be careful of that. That fancy sack of yours ought to help, I'm sure." She gave Aggie a meaningful look, then turned and began plucking large leaves off of a nearby cluster of salal. The leaves were thick and leathery, and she poked small holes near their tip with her claw. Waddling back, she wrapped the leaf around one flowering stalk and tugged. Ylva laid the plant on the ground and fiddled with the leaf until she was able to poke the stem through the hole she had made before.

Looking rather pleased with herself she looked up at Aggie and smirked. The younger wolf grinned and said, "Perfect." She turned and looked to Lydia. "We don't need much more than this, I don't think. But we're more than happy to help grab what you need too?" Aggie assumed that Lydia had her own preferred method of doing things, and as much as she'd love to observe she would feel like a jerk if they didn't at least offer. Wolfsbane was a nasty herb to run amuck of, and Aggie didn't want to risk getting it anywhere near her mouth or paws. Ylva had taught her that while there wasn't any worry if it came into contact with her fur, but its harmful components can be absorbed through her skin.

So she would leave the offer open, but it seemed silly that Lydia might come all the way out looking for something without a good method to gather it on her own. Aggie sat and waited while Ylva worked to wrap a few more salal leaves around her bundle for extra handholds. For now she had been using a temporary den to store her things, but finding a pack like Lydia's sure would make relocating a hell of a lot easier... But that was a project for later.
