Ambient plant magic? It wasn't something that she'd ever head of before, but she didn't doubt the woman. Rosethorn's attitude seemed straightforward enough and that Alanna liked about her, even if the mage's rough tone still made her bristle a bit. No games. It was something that she appreciated.

She'd always been more interested in the fighting arts then magic and that still remained true, even though she was much more comfortable with magic now then she had been when she'd been a girl. But, she enjoyed leaning new things. Only a fool chooses ignorance over knowledge. "I've never heard of ambient magic before," she commented, meeting Rosethorn's gaze. "May I ask how it works?"
