Ásvor noted he seemed pleased to be invited, thanking her and moving near to where she'd gestured he could sit. She twisted around just slightly to face him a bit better, angling herself and the hive so that he could get a better look at what she was doing. Maybe he'd learn something from her - maybe not. She didn't really care either way, but likewise she didn't feel like she had any reason to keep what she was doing a secret. A little company never hurt anyway. She nodded at his question. "Precisely. A lot of herbs taste pretty bad on their own. Very bitter," she explained, in case he wasn't familiar with many herbs. Most of them had a similar bitter component to them, regardless of how they tasted otherwise. "I'm not sure the taste would compliment every herb but... most common ones, I think it'd be fine." Ásvor had no doubt there were herbs she'd never even heard of, so she couldn't really say that definitively, but honey was a taste that went pretty well with all different kinds of flavors as far as she knew. "I mostly just wanted to try it, just in case.. my son ever needs a treatment." Her son, that was what Ulfr had said to her, but she'd never really verbalized it out loud. Motherhood wasn't coming to her easily but she was slowly adjusting in her own way. Apparently this was part of the process. The younger male asked also if honey could be used for other treatments, and she nodded easily. "Apparently it can be used to help heal burns, though I've never tried it myself." Carefully she managed to pry a large piece of the hive away, though actually extracting the honey looked a bit tricky. Glancing over to her pile of herbs, she snagged a few stray leaves of something and pulled them over, sliding a section of hive on top of the leaves. Using her paw she began to crush the hive, hoping that by doing so some of the honey trapped between the cells would be deposited beneath, onto the herbs. "Eating honey in general is supposed to be good for you, I've heard. Helps with your immune system." And probably a plethora of other things, but she didn't know every single benefit. "Here, try if you'd like." Ásvor leaned over back toward her little herb bundle, grabbing a few sprigs of lavender. While she didn't find the flowers themselves too bitter, the leaves were, and when it came to ingested herbs often the leaves were good to consume as well. Likewise she grabbed a sliver of honeycomb, pushing the two of them toward him. "That's lavender, if you didn't know. It's good for relaxing, especially for sleeping."
