Lifting her head slowly she smiled at Marina and took the root from her. "I only need the little that you gathered, I am most thankful to you both," she leaned over and took up a small metal cup and emptying it she stuffed the roots and berries into it, then filled it with water from the water skin she'd received earlier and set it close enough to the fire that the flames would lick the side of the cup and heat the water. After a short time steam flowed from the top of the and the roots soon secreted their essence and mixed with the water to create the concoction she needed. Easing the cup away she let it cool off. The others were speaking while she concentrated upon her task. Drawing out the used roots she sipped at the liquid earnestly, wrinkling her nose to find the berries did little to rid the liquid of its bitter taste. Gritting her teeth she drank the liquid down quickly, swallowing it and coughing a little when she was finished. Covering her mouth she closed her eyes and when she reopened then and looked up she could already tell it was working, she felt her strength regaining. She smiled at Marina and nodded. "It was my pleasure" was all she said and looked once more at the fire, there was much to think about now, what plans the others had made or ideas they'd come up with so turning herself around she faced the others. Her soft eyes roaming over each individual before resting on Tess.
