Juniper nodded along as Ray spoke, smiling a little. She could tell from Ray's words and the emotion behind them that the herbalist really cared about helping people. After all, she was doing this whole quest for an item that would primarily benefit others, not herself.
"I hope you do receive something truly powerful," Juniper said. "The world can always use more healers."
Especially in the coming war, but Juniper didn't want to insert that into the conversation. She also didn't want to mention the other question that rose to mind: whether Ray's healing item would work on Ascended. Juniper would tend to assume not, since they didn't function biologically like other people ... but whatever the answer was, Juniper didn't really mind if Ascended happened to benefit from Ray's quest as well. They needed healers too, didn't they?
Juniper poured a couple handfuls of pebbles into Ray's bag, then glanced down to see how full it was. "Do you think that's enough?"
