"No, you didn't wake me. The nightmares tend to keep me awake at night anyways..." How strange that he would choose to tell a stranger that, but part of her felt...glad? Her ear twitched when he said it, her head lifting just a bit more. "I...understand," She replied, offering the smallest of smiles. She understood all too well...but Valor had changed the subject all too quickly which was fine by her. "Did you want any help hunting for herbs? I'm not familiar with them, but if you tell me what you're looking for I can help." She thought about it for a moment but decided she'd be a fool to not accept the help. Wandering in the dark nearly blind wasn't the greatest idea, especially with how heavy the snow clung to the lands...but she wouldn't be able to sleep until she got the herbs she needed for the pain. She just wasn't sure where exactly to find it, or if they'd even be able to in these conditions. "Thank you for the offer, I greatly appreciate it." She said tiredly, which was also when she realized she didn't stutter or speak with fear that time...though perhaps it was because she was tired and in pain..."I'm...looking for Lavender...and Wintergreen berries...they help me with my...pain," And with the nightmares... she thought bitterly. She cleared her throat before continuing. Lavender is easy to identify, small clusters of purple flowers on longer stems. Wintergreen berries are red and grow in small clusters low to the ground usually...though I'm not sure if we'll have much luck with the weather...
