Ana did not mind the other's curiosity. The black and white patchwork female was a curiosity, three legs and all. They were curious because of her skills, or her physical appearance. Such was her life. This one seemed curious about both for the moment. The dual colored female could not help but smile at Ceres' cocky grin faded some. It was good to be humbled sometimes, even for Ana. She was not all knowing in the ways of plants, but she definitely did well with them and the ones she knew. The ones she didn't, it was either trial and error or finding someone who did know. Where she grew up, it was hard to find someone who knew. Here, the wolfess seemed to be one who knew. It was a strange feeling, a strange thought to have in her head.

Ana hated to have to learn of poisons, but it was a job requirement. In the end though, it was more a matter of were they willing to listen and learn. She didn't care to think so highly of herself that she was above others. She was on the bottom of the totem pole for so much of her young life, Ana often reminded herself anything could change in an instant. Clearly... The slender female was in a new place where she was, for all intents and purposes alone. All the same, her tail waved, glad to see Ceres was willing to be humble and listen, and not maintain a cocky attitude. "A pleasure, Ceres," she said, a proper smile on her maw again, "No, I'm definitely not from around here. Still trying to get my bearings, to be honest. Hence, excitement over a plant since I don't know everything that readily grows here for what I use them for." It wasn't that such an explanation was needed, but it certainly didn't hurt.

The black and white wolf continued to listen, moving a bit closer to the other female, yellow gaze inspecting her a bit further. Job description. Ana nodded slightly. Her brow furrowed a bit. Poisons were used by assassins and their sort. "Not my favorite thing," she admitted, "But, it does have it's uses." The healer eyed Ceres a bit longer, toying with an idea in her head. She certainly wanted to teach others her art, though this one was more inclined to using poisons. Even poisoners needed antidotes. It tore against much of what she believed in, but this could also work to her favor in such a new place. "I may be able to show you a few things," she offered, "But there is a catch..." Of course there would be a catch, there always was. If Ceres was genuinely interested, she'd be willing. If not, no skin of Ana's back, and on they would go with their lives.
