She turned his way and narrowed her eyes in thought. She was slightly suspicious about this one, but she'd keep quiet for now.
"It isn't, no. Aconite is a very poisonous plant, so I don't make use of the ingredient unless I absolutely have to," she responded. Of course this question just made Gabriella even more suspicious, but again she decided to keep quiet. She did, however, give him a questioning look.
Rafe shrugged and couldn't look at her in the eye.
"Well, it's not exactly poisonous to everyone... I just thought it could speed up the process of healing." Rafe looked up and met Healer Ashford's eyes, bad move. It made Rafe feel even more guilty.
"Fiiiine," Rafe was giving in. This woman was a healer after all, and wasn't there some sort of patient healer confidentiality.
"The scratches are from..." Rafe lowered his voice,
"...werewolves." Rafe stared at his feet.
"I know you're probably thinking like everyone else thinks...what a freak?! Especially what happened a couple of terms ago...but, I'm not ashamed of being a...well half..." Rafe stopped. He was still a little upset that his father didn't make him a full werewolf. It was an unusual desire, but he wanted to have that connection with his father.
