Hideaway Strath and there's no remedy for memory

Amphitere was not a simpleton. She keenly felt the weight of the information Hemlock had entrusted her with, and wondered if she had an automatic leg up over any other would-be Associates by sheer virtue of being older, and wiser, than the usual dispersal wolf. Was the trust born of some (misplaced) desire to appeal to her maternal instincts, or did the Leifteanant see some use in her that Amphitere was unable to define with her little knowledge of Teaghlaigh? Whatever the reason, she devoted her attention to the task, and the company, all the same.

Her ears twisted back comfortably against her flowing ruff as a serene smile settled upon her lips again. "We may yet learn much from one another." Amphitere agreed with a friendly wave of her tail. There was that everpresent part of her that wanted nothing more than to hermit away in solitude, and cloister herself from the dull minds of lesser wolves. But in these genuine moments of affiability, Amphitere was grateful to be in the company of someone not only tolerable, but intelligent as well. 

The interest in her own peculiar brand of healing and spiritualism is once more called into question. She hadn't expected it to come up again so soon, but she shakes her head and moves to explain, "It is... complicated. The legitimacy of it is debated which is why I also take a practical approach to healing." she admitted with a slight frown. "But my healing is derived from the idea that there are other, greater, forces at work in the world beyond what our conscious can detect. Nature is one, and the Astral is the other." 

"Nature, Gaia, Mother Earth—it has many names. It heavily documented in the few cultures I've encountered, because we have all experienced a time where there is unexplained phenomena in our lives. That feeling when your neck prickles like someone is watching? That is Nature. The manifestation of energy. The controlling force behind the rain, the movement of the heavens, and the changing of the seasons. The herbal approach is closely tied to this, because it is nature that gifts these boons to us."

She drew a breath and paused, allowing the information to sink in and giving Hemlock the chance to weigh in.
