Iolaire's response was possibly the last thing Aggie had expected. Most wolves would have blinked in confusion. Some might have passed her off with a polite 'Oh, well.. that's nice.' A few might have left her presence in a hurry. But this woman seemed delighted... Aggie grinned. This was turning into a fortuitous day indeed. Of course the first words out of Io's mouth made a brow quirk. "Two women express a mutual interest in poisons, and one invites the other to a meal. Should I be concerned?" But of course she followed the other woman anyways. If she was going to be murdered, it might as well be by someone who knows what they're doing. By accident would just be embarrassing. She watched with poorly concealed fascination as the woman's unusually deft paws freed the caribou and retrieved a satchel of goods with ease. Spirits! Would she sprout wings next? Aggie kept her comments to herself, made easier by a goods Iolaire produced. Fortuitous day indeed. Aggie was quick to scoop up a sliced bit of meat, chewing thoughtfully while she pondered. "I fancy myself a healer of sorts, though in recent seasons I'll admit to being more preoccupied with traveling and seeking out unusual herbs more than actually practicing the craft." She watched as Ylva, bold as a bull left her perch, sauntered up and plucked up a strawberry for herself. Looking back at Io, Aggie continued. "I was raised to look at the art of healing a bit differently than most natives here, or at least it has seemed so thus far. It's not healing every bruise and scrape you come across but rather the art of protecting life, and honoring the spirits of the land. Making use of every tool the Spirits have granted us. Should an opportunity arise to protect many lives at the expense of a few, it would dishonor the Spirits not to use the gifts they have given us to keep the balance." Aggie shrugged. It seemed pretty straightforward to her. She really didn't understand why so many others found the concept abhorrent! It just made sense. Nodding towards Ylva, who was very much enjoying her fruit and not terribly keen on contributing, Aggie added on. "Ylva used to assist an old sage woman that I was apprenticed to as a pup, and after the woman passed she took me under her wing to finish my training. Most of what I know comes from her, and a bit of experimenting along the way." She paused for another piece of meat. It truly was delicious, but she didn't want to be rude or take more than had been offered to her. "That's the short version of my story. What of you? I doubt I need to tell you how rare it is to find others who are interested in pursuing these practices." Not if her eager reaction had been anything to judge by, anyways. "Talk" "Listen" Think |
