She listened, reserving judgement, as the young wolf spoke. She didn't have any formal training as a healer, nor did she ever chose to resort to poisons even as a mercenary when her skills had been hired for assassination, so she did not recognize the names of the herbs the girl spoke of, neither the one she wanted nor the one she offered. She considered calling for one of the pack's healers, but both Maximous and Adelaide had been scarce lately and she'd yet to speak with Maximous about their sole remaining healer-trainee's skills assessment so she was loathe to depend on Callisto either. "I be Katja Finnvi, alpha to this pack," she spoke finally in a clipped tone when the girl fell silent. "As close ally of our own ally the pack Abaven I do trust Ludicael wolves to be of an honorable cant." She did not, truly, trust anyone to always act in a forthright manner, for to expect that could mean death if they were not true, but it was near enough the truth. "I will escort you where you need go that you may gather this herb you speak of without... misunderstanding." The meaning was double - her presence would assure her pack that the girl was not trespassing, and also allow her to watch that she did only what she had asked, and then left. The dark alpha gestured for the stranger to lead the way.
