At the first mention of her being a craftswoman the leader's ears perked a bit, but when the words "blade" and "weapon" were used it made that feeling of distrust and unease rise back up in her chest. Savina knew that blades could be useful objects and weapons were fine, so long as they were held in responsible hands, but the implements still made the sable fey nervous. Especially so when there were so many young ones in the pack that could easily hurt themselves if those things were easily accessible. The Consul did not interrupt though, not wanting to be rude and desiring to hear the rest of what Nuki had to say. She could voice her concerns soon enough, after the other woman had given a full account of her skills.
When she spoke of archery though, and how it made particularly winter hunting more easy, Savina was quite intrigued. Though there was a pang of sorrow with her interest. Denali had wished to learn such things. How to hunt in his optime form. She had promised to take him to AniWaya so he could learn. If only he were here now, he could learn from this woman. "We must be careful with blades here, for there are many pups in the pack, but your ability to hunt with your bow is very promising. No one here uses such an instrument, and of course any help to bring more food in in the winter safely is quite welcome." That whisper of suspicion was still in her mind, but she had nothing to ground it on, and so she continued, "You would be a welcome addition to Crimson Dreams Nuki. You will start as a Plebeian and may move up in the ranks as you prove yourself to us." Her words were accented with a wan smile.
Even though she knew the chances were slim, the mother could not help but ask, "Since you were traveling to reach here, I don't suppose you ran across a boy who was on his own, with a coat made up of browns? His name is Denali." There was a small glimmer of hope in her eyes, but it was as weak as candlelight in the wind, just waiting to be extinguished.
