Auster had many useful things to use for healing, but the trees were not exactly what she was looking for. There was a place in Boreas that she remembered had the specific tree she needed. Her trip up north was calm and refreshing. A different sort of air compared to the salty breezes of Auster. Taking her time, she finally arrived at the grove of willows she had been looking for. Inhaling deeply, she approached a rather large and old appearing willow. Its boughs drooped over the ground and its buds clung to her coat. Taking out a small blade that she had rudimentary crafted, Tenshi began stripping the bark from the tree. Craft Healing Item (Bandages) - 1/3

Noelle decided that she needed to expand her horizons again beyond Valhallan borders. She hadn't really left them since she joined, finding it easier to be able to walk freely without the fear of something attacking her considering her limited eyesight. Although she had been a loner roaming the wilds for a couple of years before joining, she much rather preferred the feeling of safety within the pack's borders. But as she had gone through her stores, she realized there were some materials that she needed that weren't available within Valhallan lands. So she set out towards the Weeping Woods, a spot she had passed through before and that Amorielle had said would have what she needed. The other woman offered to accompany her, but Noelle didn't want to feel like a burden nor take up her packmate's time, so she went alone. Her journey here was a little slow going all things considered. But she had made it safely, and all she needed was some bark from the trees here so that she could use them for bandaging up wounds. She didn't know when she would need them since Valhalla was fairly quiet, but she always preferred to be prepared. Approaching the nearest willow, she poked and prodded at it until she found a bit of bark that was already starting to lift, and gently she grabbed it in her teeth and carefully stripped it away from the tree. She knew this way would be more time-consuming...but she had forgotten to bring her harvesting tools, and she didn't want to go back now that she was already here. Ears perked at the sound of something else nearby, hearing the same sound she had just made, but a few yards further ahead. Curious, she stashed the strip of bark into her satchel and moved to find the source, only to come across a rather tall she-wolf with a coat of varying shades of grays and yellow oranges. And of course, as she turned her head a little more, she could see the antlers atop the stranger's head. The woman also seemed to be stripping the bark the same as herself, only...she had a tool. "Hello, are you harvesting willow bark as well?" She asked politely, her voice soft as it usually was. "Speak"

Immersed in the peeling of bark, Tenshi laid each piece upon the ground. If it would begin to curl at one end, she would place a rock to help lay it flat. The thinner the piece of bark, the better, and if it would lay flat, the easier it would for her non-dextrous paws to manipulate it. Placing a rock upon her latest piece, she moved to turn back to the old tree. As her paws reached up with her tool, she heard the noise of someone behind her. Freezing in place for a moment, she turned an ear into the movement as the stranger approached. Small, dainty steps crinkled in the grass that finally made her head swivel over her shoulder to peer at the girl who spoke. Someone very tiny and white in color, she almost appeared ethereal to Tenshi. As if she hadn't been paying attention, she might have thought the girl was a ghost. Placing her paws onto the ground, she moved the tool so that it lay on the dewy grass between them. "Greetings. Yes, I am going to start soaking it so that I may use it for bandages later," her deep timbre is thickly accented as she catches the scent of the girl. Noticing there was a strong pack scent, Tenshi wondered where she belonged to. "You can use my tool if you would like," the mountainous woman states before leaning over to pick up a piece of bark to dip it into the stream that ran beneath the willow's roots.
