The smaller, younger woman seemed to be absolutely terrified of her for some reason, but she was pretty sure it wasn't specifically her she was afraid of, just other wolves in general. It made Daelos sad to see her so timid, but she was also a complete stranger so it was hard for to guess why she could possibly be like this. Even after she reasured the two toned woman she still seemed incredibly unsure about coming to collect the honey she had been offered. Daelos tried to keep from watching her so closely so perhaps she wouldn't feel so threatened, but then she heard the stranger ask about the herbs she had found. It brought her two-toned gaze back up to the young woman and she smiled brightly. Any chance to talk about herbs and medicines was a thrill for her. It was one of the reasons why she had been happy that Elba had ended up having a love for healing as well so she almost always had someone to talk about the subject with. Ochre would listen to her ramblings well enough, but she could tell he didn't enjoy it in the same way that she did. Before she could start explaining what it was she heard an apology for asking and a little frown crossed her muzzle. "No need to apologize - I love talking about herbs and sharing knowledge about them! It's one of my favorite things." Her smile returned and her tail wagged gently behind her before she gave the marshmallow plant a nod and began to explain. "This is marshmallow. It's a little hard to find, but it's a great herb to have on hand. It's perfect for sort throats and coughs as well as soothing teething pups! I thought it would be an amazing herb to pair with the honey since honey can help with sore throats as well so combined it would be a powerhouse for a cold. Well, at least that's what I'm hoping!" She grinned excitedly before going back to collecting several bunches of the stuff and tucking it into her bag. Even if it didn't actually go very well with the honey it was still a good thing to keep with her. She left a small bunch of it out of the bag and carried it over to where the honey was sitting. "Do you want to try some with me?" she offered, as she placed the marshmallow leaves she had collected between them. "It can have a very medicinal taste to it so I'm not sure how it's going to pair with the honey, but the honey's sweetness tends to overpower everything." She sat back on her haunches so that she could scoop up some of the honey into her paw before picking up a few of the marshmallow leaves between her teeth. She placed the leaves into the honey that was glistening on her paw pads and used her other paw to mush the two things together into a paste of sorts. Once that was done she licked the concoction off of her paw and began to taste it curiously like someone would taste a new wine. "Hm! Not bad!" she decided after a moment of consideration. It really just added a bit of sweetness to the strong taste of the herb and she imagined she could probably adjust the ratio for a pup to make it even sweeter. Total WC: 1753/1500 |
