The eager healer trotted along side her sister as they made their way back to the Avian Estuary - the place that had given them their first taste of that Boreas would have in store for them. So far she hadn't traveled too much farther than the lands that Valhalla held, but she was fairly pleased with it so far. Winter had been a bit of a bore since there was not many herbs to gather or prey to hunt and no one, including herself, really wanted to be out in the cold doing spars. Now that spring had fully sprung, she was extremely excited to come back to this place that had been so fruitful in herbs before.

She wasn't sure what exactly she was looking for today, but she knew Aslaug was wanting to do some hunting so she was more than happy to help her sister out with that task and just see what she found to gather along the way or when they were on their way back. As they passed through the trees that made homes for all the birds that were chirping away wildly overhead, Elba happened to spot a couple honey bees drifting past as they made their way back to their hive. It made her slow her steps and her curious, dual-toned gaze followed them till her eyes had finally found the hive in question. It was built into the crook made of a large branch and the trunk of the tree. There were a few other bees busily working around the hive's surface, but there was no telling how many were inside.

A drip of honey that had begun to form along the bark of the tree got her thinking and she finally came to a full stop as she examined it for a moment. She knew honey was sweet and delicious so it was incredibly tempting... but how would they get it? "Hey, sis," she said softly, unsure if bees could hear them or not. Did bees have ears? How else did they communicate if they didn't? "Can you think of a way of maybe getting some of that honey without getting ourselves stung all over?"
