The Heartwood Casual Greetings

This thread looked lonely! Let's jazz it up, shall we?

South. There were supposed to be more green things and life to the south. Well wasn't that the truth. She'd hiked for what felt like centuries and climbed more slopes than she cared to admit. Of course, she'd also gone right back down those slopes and ventured into another valley of sorts were the terrain was far more friendlier for her cause. Herb hunting. At least in these parts the forests seemed like they wanted to be here. No lopsided trees or lack of trees to prevent her from finding want she wanted. Perfect.

She skirted the scents of a few pack borders and crossed a stream only to find herself within the heart of a thick wood. In the distance, a white wolf wandered and Citali kept her distance, passing the creature by as he wandered off on his own. She pressed onwards and eventually found herself in the presence of a burly male. My. Wasn't this area quite the hot spot? Seemed her solitary journey would be gaining a few passengers. 

"You see any goldenrod around here?" she asked, cutting to the chase of her personal mission as opposed to going through the tedious ritual of formalities. "Seems like I might could find it around here..." She pondered out loud now, thinking to herself as she scented the air.
