Aris rolled her eyes at the Ashen girl's attempt at diplomacy. It wasn't about Ashen, or the girl herself, who Aris didn't know and probably wouldn't have been any fun to hang out with anyway, so Ari didn't bother answering her. Nor did she bother with any more of Sedna's excuses, having already tuned her out completely. Not having a rank in something didn't excuse someone from offering their skill in it if their pack needed them. Hiding behind rank structure was either sheer laziness or complete obliviousness to the pack's needs, neither of which was acceptable as far as Ari was concerned, considering that it was her who'd suffered for it.
"Yeah, sure," she said to both Gossamer and the Ashen girl's requests from her, grouchily turning to follow the Ashen girl to their provided supplies. She picked through them before finding the tincture with the root, as Goss had asked for. She took a moment to sniff at it and poke at the root to make it swirl around so she could see it better and fix the scent and sight of the root in her mind. Wasn't the same as seeing the whole plant, but at least she'd be able to recognize it in stores now. She used a paw to tilt the container to measure a dose - she was pretty sure the Ashen girl would stop her before she measured out too much - but she jerked her head up when the dik dik screeched at Sedna's mishandling and slopped a bit of the tincture on the ground and her paw. Muttering curses under her breath she shook off the worst of it and wiped the rest on her hip. The noise and subsequent soaking of her paw had unfortunately drawn her attention back to their "instructor", and Aris made a face at the supposed lesson. Ick. That was the point of the exercise? Not like... teaching them how to heal, just teaching them that sometimes they should just give up?
"When you're a pack wolf you don't get to decide you want to die just because it hurts," she said, rolling her eyes. "If the pack needs you, you suck it up and deal with it and do what has to be done." It was a snide, backhanded jab at Sedna's reasoning for not teaching them to be healers, but it was what Aris believed too. Pack wolves don't get to make selfish decisions - they needed to be decisions for the good of the whole pack, not yourself. "Anyway," she added, bringing the valerian tincture over to Goss, swirling it to show the amount in it that she was pretty sure was properly measured, "You don't really know who you can save if you aren't willing to see the battle through to the end. You always lose if you quit. Hey Goss, you think you can show me how to make this tincture later?" she added conversationally, as she tilted the semi-conscious dik dik's head to a reasonable angle and began administering the watery meds. This much at least she knew how to do without drowning the patient, after so much time spent as a kid force feeding random potions to small animals. The potions might have inevitably killed the animal, but at least she'd learned not to drown them. She also let the last little bit of the concoction rest under the wounded prey animal's tongue where it could be absorbed that much faster than through the stomach to give them a little bit of a head start in the pain killing department.
