RAY
In ancient times
cats were worshipped as gods

Ray caught on quickly and let out a chuckle, eyeing her friend with a teasing grin. "Very discreet, Aurelia." Letting out another chuckle. the herbalist indulged her friend. Letting out a hum, she sat back and spoke, "To a degree, yes. I'll defend Torchline and her people should the time come." She had no interest in conquering or any glory. She just wanted to keep her people safe.
The herbalist shot Aurelia a smile, "But I intend for most of my contribution to be what I do best. Healing injuries and other collateral. It's part of why I've been stocking up on herbs and seeking aid from the Gods. I'm doing what I can to prepare for an influx of patients should the need arise." Her smile turned a bit severe, "And I intend to help anyone who comes to me seeking aid." All of Torchline was welcome, all races, all people. The herbalist gave a small shrug, relaxing once more, "I'm devoted to Rae and Frey, but I'm a healer. I can't turn bear the thought of turning someone away. Where do you stand?"
Aurelia's continuing questions have Ray grinning. It made her happy for her friend to show interest in her work. The hybrid's questions are valid, but the herbalist can't help but snicker. "The truth? Most of the new discoveries show up at my door. Some poor soul mistakes a plant for something else and shows up at my door turning random colors and needing a cure." It had happened far too many times, and each resulted in a mad dash to find the plant and develop a remedy.
"Beyond that though, if I find a new plant, I first observe how other flora and fauna interact with it in nature. Then once I have a rough idea of its capabilities, I take samples and start experimenting. Testing how it reacts to other herbs and such. And if it appears safe enough, I do experiment, on myself or willing volunteers." The admission makes Ray smile sheepishly. It probably wasn't the best method, but she wasn't about to go around experimenting on animals. "Oh, and I document everything."
