Herbalists' Cache Rocky start

No worries, take all the time you need I don't stress reply times.

The way the Aloe and garlic gooped together in his mouth was absolutely unpalatable, it wasn't hard to tell that something about the mixture was wrong. Even so it was the only thing he knew aside from loading up on Poppy so he kept chewing until the garlic no longer crunched in with the Aloe. Just as Valour was spitting the smelly mixture out onto his paws to attempt rubbing them over the wounds on his face someone came up on his blind side and he responded instinctively with startled aggression leaping to his paws and whirling around so he could see her with his good eye. The remaining mixture in his mouth pooled out in a long unpleasant string of drool as his lips curled over his teeth, bared and ready to snap as what she'd said finally sunk through the rush of panic. 

Standing there with his hackles raised he spat the rest of the herbs to the ground momentarily pausing while his eye roamed over her examining her posture, injuries and everything to analyze whether the words were actually mocking him....and finally he relaxed his ears flicking backwards and hindquarters lowering to the ground ,all aggression fading away as he decided that she looked too messed up herself to be here for any reason other than healing.  "Intimidation has never failed to save me before" he said and lifted one goo coated paw to his face awkwardly rubbing it over his wounds, hissing at the stinging pain and setting it down again "Damnit".
