why are you following me?

"Nice to meet you!" The woman, Addison, didn't seem super interested in the ointment so Gossamer let it be. The flowers might mess up the woman's sense of smell anyway and she probably needed it to help find her way around. "Do you live around here?"

As she talked the fox tended the tea, eventually pulling it from the fire and mixing in some cooler water so it was safe enough for the pup and blind woman to drink, if she wanted any. "Tea's ready!" She scooted the bowls over to each canid. "Addison, if you want you can have some otherwise I can drink it." Gossamer bent her head and quickly started to drink the tea. It was warm and mild tasting so the pup didn't mind too much. Ásta picked up a stick and poked at the fire, breaking it down a bit more too coals and small flames.
