Aurelia's gaze shifted from Caedes' face to the bundle he had pushed towards her. A sense of anticipation filled her as she leaned forward, her keen gaze studying the generous offering before her. With delicate care, she lifted a paw and gently unwrapped the cloth, revealing an assortment of toxic herbs. As her breath caught in recognition, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement - each one of these plants were rare and potent, highly sought after by those who knew them for their uses. She cast a grateful glance towards him, her eyes shimmering in the soft light. "Caedes," she started, her voice warm but still holding firm. "This is more than just a humble gift. These are all so hard to find." Her remark held genuine appreciation, as she leaned away, recovering the bundle with care.

As she realigned her attention, his later statement registered. “You’ll have to let me know how successful your application is.” She would have never attempted using a sedative in conjuncture with a weapon. It honestly left her questioning how effective it would be in that specific context.
