Medicine Dance

Getting stung while collecting honey? The woman chortled softly. "Smoke is the key. It makes the bees dormant while you collect. It doesn't harm them. Simply makes them tired." She'd collected honey many, many times. If done properly, there was no stinging involved. Good thing too. If you were stung, the bee that stung you would die. If you were stung a lot, not only would the bees die, but you could possibly die as well.

The boy seemed a little irritated at her continued questioning. He also seemed a little dense in this regard. "You're awfully close to the Ashen territory. Not a very good place for a young wolf to be." She knew that Sirius had abducted young wolves before. She knew that he condoned slavery. She wouldn't put it past him to take a wandering child and try to turn it into a warrior. Iolaire didn't wish to know the boys past at all. She only wished to know what his goal was in these parts.
