She hums softly to herself as the boy speaks. A tea, eh? It had been a long time since she made one of those, but the concept was not too complicated. She'd figure it out. Her icy blue gaze flicks up from her work as he continues on, giving a small shake of her head. As far as she knew Juniper berries weren't used to treat a cold, but if he had any advice she wouldn't say no. Couldn't afford to with her current situation. "Iðunn Trygg," she says briskly, and then after a slight pause, "no, are they used for a cold?"
Her brief language switch seems to confuse him, but the boy is smart and he gives her the English name of the herb. It sounds wrong to her. "Ah yes, Boneset." She sounds it out carefully, the consonants struggling to roll smoothly off her tongue. "Used for cold and fever symptoms, and it can ease muscle pains." Iðunn finally finishes grinding up the Boneset, but stops her work there. She had had no real plans for the exact concoction she wanted to make, figuring diluting the contents into a paste she could eat would be suitable enough. But perhaps Strix could help her out.
"Show me how to make a tea with the Boneset?" She couldn't see why this herb would not be able to be steeped to make a tea, but Strix had more knowledge than her in this instance.
