Lúta grinned as she realized that this was indeed an elderberry plant. Perfect! She shifted her weight to her hind legs, balancing as she reached up with her teeth and snipped off a few of the leaves. This was the perfect time to gather them. She was about to grab more when an unfamiliar woman appeared. She had a lovely pelt and unusual adornment.

"Hello, there. I don't mind at all." The stranger was also looking for medicinal plants! Lúta was more than happy to share with a fellow healer. "As it happens this is a medicinal plant right here. It's an Elder I'm gathering the leaves to make a green elder ointment. Do you want some to? There's plenty." She reached up again and grabbed a few more leaves. She'd gather some berries to when she was done.

She carefully unwrapped the deer hide that held her gathering of deer fat. She peeled off the leaves that helped to insulate it in the hide before taking her paw and scraping half of it into a pile on the hide. Ideally she would boil the leaves but such a thing was difficult without Ragna's help. Besides, she wanted to run an experiment using chewed herbs instead to measure the differences in effectiveness. "My name is Lúta by the way. I take it you're new to this area as well?"
