As she glanced around the hill, barren grass and trees blanketed in soft crystals of ice, two scents reached her nose. Her body froze for a moment as she turned her honey gaze in their direction. Two wolves, white in fur with black facial markings stood out in the near distance. Their friendly demeanor calmed her body for a moment as her tail wagged nervously. Aurrielle had indeed described Paladin as an older wolf that looked like snow with a semi-face mask marked in black. This was sure to be him. Smiling as he greeted her, Audra made her way down to the pair. "It's a p-pleasure meeting you both, Paladin an-and Legacy," her quiet hum of a voice was like a windchime tinkling on a summer day. With her tail wagging, she nodded in Paladin's direction. "H-how could I say no?" She mused happily, a chuckle in her voice. Looking over to Legacy, Audra's smile widened. "I-it's nice having someone n-new here with me," the small wolf said, hoping that maybe she and the younger vixen could be friends one day. Looking back over to Paladin, there was an eagerness in her eyes. Before coming to Valhalla, she had had to learn all of her healing methods through whispers, overhearing others' conversations, and through her own methods of trial and error. The satchel around her neck was always at least half full of a variety of herbs and plants, some fresh and some dried. Their uses ranged from nausea and anxiety medications to healing salves if she could find the rest of the ingredients. During the winter, it was much harder. The land was dry, typically covered in snow, and most plants were shriveled away from the cold. "I'd love to know how to use the cold to an advantage," Audra spoke a bit more confidently now as her eyes glanced between the two and their surroundings. word count: 318 | total: 1541/1500 |
