The mortal woman asked if she could take a closer look and in response Malleus nodded. "Not at all." He stepped back so the ginseng wasn't hidden in his shadow and the woman could look without feeling like he was right on top of her.
Her interest in the plant made him curious. Perhaps she was a healer too? Who else would take an interest in a boring little plant like this?
"Well, Ara, it's a pleasure. The name's Malleus Abraxas and ginseng..." he eyed the plant for a moment as he considered the plant's uses. "Is invaluable to fighters. It boosts energy, lowers stress and protects the individual from illness." His eyes rolled heavenward as he tried to bring to mind its other uses. "If I remember correctly, it's also good for inflammation and existing infections."

Malleus has a barbary macaque companion named Pascal. Unless he is mentioned IC it's safe to assume he's not with Malleus.

While he tried to be unobtrusive, Malleus couldn't help but study the woman as she looked the ginseng plant over. Even without knowing her age Ara was quite possibly the oldest wolf he'd ever met. Abraxas weren't exactly known for their longevity so Malleus didn't have much experience with elderly wolves. The weak and the old tended to be cut from the lot as soon as it was clear they'd outlived their usefulness. Ara seemed to defy what he thought an old person should look like. Although her body showed signs of an advanced age, she didn't strike him as a fragile, tottering old crone. Her eyes were bright and her voice was strong, and it was quite clear in the short amount of time that they'd been talking that she was sharp as a tack.
Malleus nodded in agreement with her assessment and filed the bit about shock away for later use. In response to her question he nodded again, then said, "Quite a bit, actually." He smiled, chuckled softly, and ran a paw over the plant's cheery red flowers before seeking out Ara's gaze again. "My family seems to be made up of the 'fight first, ask questions later' types. You might say I cut my teeth on tending battle wounds."
He eyed the plant again, then said, "I've never used ginseng in my treatments of fighters, though. It's one of those plants that's never on hand when I need it."

His ears pricked as she mentioned previous encounters with Abraxas. He wondered who she could be taking about. Her demeanor had him thinking she'd met one of his milder relatives otherwise she would have run for the hills upon learning his name. Malleus couldn't think of any Abraxas who'd said they were heading this way, but the rouges didn't keep anyone in the loop so it was entirely possible she'd met one of them. "That sounds like my kin alright," he joked. "The familial hard head probably saved his life."
The woman was a wealth of wisdom, it seemed. She cautioned him to guard the plant carefully. Malleus took her words to heart. Perhaps some kind of fencing, or netting, would be a good idea. He'd have to see if Pascal could whip something up for him. He grinned and dipped his head appreciatively. "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind."
Ever so gently Malleus pried the plant loose. With care he gently worked the root ball into the pouch he'd made and once it was in he carefully pulled the cattails tight around it so it wouldn't dribble dirt as he walked. Once done, he straightened ad fixed Ara with a smile. He was pleased not only with what he'd collected, but with the conversation he was having. Malleus was so pleased, in fact, that he was unwilling to leave just yet. "I bet if we look around we can find another if you'd like a plant of your own. I doubt this one grows all by itself."
