WC: 300+it's no problem at all medear! And ooo, sounds exciting. Kind of :]
It seemed he was quick to put her at her ease and smooth over the downsides of the structure. Caprica could appreciate a thoughtful word: it took more guts to be nice to a stranger than to act defensive or try to outface them, in her experience. This wolf had an assurance about him and she liked it. Good thing he seemed happy to keep on talking, and seemed honestly to be interested in her and what she'd made. Seemed she wouldn't have to settle for just being proud of herself for once. "It's called weaving, just winding bendy sticks around bigger ones," she explained. "Learned it from a human book about baskets, but its so simple once you try. I'm not planning to start doing cloth or anything, though." Sticks and rushes were complicated enough at her beginner level, for sure.
His words were very fine to her ears, reminding her of the stately way her mother could talk sometimes. She hadn't inherited, or learnt, that trick. Her vocabulary tended towards the unpolished, and compared to his eloquence, it was more than a tendency. Caprica would have been surprised to learn that Shandom was the one doubting his clear intelligence - she'd had her whole life as a luperci practicing her prehensile skills, so her ability was unsurprising, at least to herself. His home was a Miraculous place, or at least it sounded something like that, and he wondered how she enjoyed hers. "Sure do. Anathema ain't like nowhere else," she answered with feeling. "I don't hate getting away, though... always good to see a new face." Her tail wagged appreciatively. "How do you find your new pack? Worth the journey?" She wondered where he'd come from, now - and why he'd left. It always seemed a shame to the talkative girl that one couldn't fit more than one or two questions at a time into polite conversation.
