WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Ever since the fight with the humans and since they moved to the village, Jacob was grateful for the new peace that came to Snowbound's lands but it wasn't as though they hadn't lost anything. Most of their organic stock that was still left in the tunnels had to be kept there. Most of it was either infected or too deep in to risk sending someone out there when there could still be infected prey. This meant that the vast majority of their herb stock had been wiped out in all the chaos and Jacob and Izuku had been left to build it from the ground up. They both went out constantly but there was only so much that two people could do. To have some extra help would be wonderful, which was exactly why he'd asked Atbash to lead this patrol. Hopefully this would restore more of what they'd lost, especially given how many Snowbounders seemed to be showing up sick or injured. He wanted to be sure they could always be taken care of or, at the very least, that the tools to take care of them were readily available.

With that in mind, he approached the woman with a light smile, settling down for a moment. He figured it'd be best to rest his legs before heading out. They'd been rather shaky all day, despite him having already taken his herbs and done his exercises. He wasn't even sure he'd be heading out if it weren't for the fact he'd hopefully be going with a fairly large group of people. "I'll go out with ya' ta' 'elp look n' identify all the plants n' things we find," he spoke. After all, it was better that either he or Izuku go with them to be sure it wasn't just flowers and weeds coming back. He had confidence in his clanmates' intelligence but it could be difficult to tell between some weeds and herbs if one didn't have any sort of knowledge in the area. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
