Ana certainly wasn't upset by his concern. In fact, she was rather flattered and perhaps even happy about it. She didn't remember a day when there was genuine worry over her. To a degree perhaps, for a pack to lose its healer could be devastating. Yet, her roving ways had seemed to prove a little bit more beneficial for her own well-being. Even now, she had been researching mental illnesses. Those were harder to work with when your potential patients didn't always follow instructions or want to take something that changed who they inherently were. She would figure that out eventually.

The patchwork female shook her head. "A stray wolf here or there needing a wound patched up, but nothing of extreme note. Not even many mothers this past spring out in the wilds," she said. That had definitely been worth noting, she recalled. Most of the litters born this year had been within the packs from what she could tell. Either that, or there simply fewer litters to be had.

Ana nodded in agreement in terms of the revolving door of changes. Such changes could most certainly bring about trouble. The black and white female liked to think her scent alone was off-putting enough for those who might mean her harm. After all, as a wolf who smelled strongly of bitter herbs meant one of two things. She either healed, or she knew how to poison. Ana knew both, though she was better versed in the former and hated to use the latter. Her tail waved as she smiled at him. "I am glad for that, Mithos. It is heart-warming to know you really do care," she said.

At his soft hhmm, she tilted her head. The dual colored woman wondered what his thoughts might be. Her yellow eyes lit up with a grin. "Of course you would be welcome. I can teach you some of the basics, and we'd have a bit of muscle around to deter those who might hurt those we are helping," she said rather excitedly. Even if Mithos wasn't a fighter, his mere presence and stature would be plenty to deter a foul beast trying to encroach on a band of healers. Ana wasn't completely certain how she would go about this, but it was a start.
