The other woman introduced herself, and proceeded to explain what, exactly, coyotes were. Tola tried to think back on seeing smaller, pointed wolves around. She couldn't remember it happening; but perhaps she'd simply been more sheltered than she thought. At the speculation that wolves didn't seem to like them much, Tola smirked, thinking to herself that if wolves didn't like coyotes, she could possibly count them among her compatriots. She reached up to brush her long hair back from her neck, and had to pause and scratch Aljan's head from where the cat lay sleeping on her shoulder. She took a moment to share a glance with Aleksei, somewhat questioning, but the larger male shrugged his indifference, and she gave him a tight-lipped sneer before turning back to Cassandra.
By the time she had, the woman was much closer, and reaching to stroke Chantrea's nose. The mare snorted softly, and then bumped her nose into the woman's hand, her eyes placid and calm. "That is Chantrea. I call her Chant, or Moonlight." The latter nickname was most likely not obvious in its meaning, considering she was a dark horse, but Tola couldn't help but smile and move to gently pat her neck. Chantrea whickered softly, and Aleksei huffed from somewhere off to the side. He didn't truly appreciate animals unless they could be harvested in some way; horses, to him, were useless, most especially because even one as large and strong as Chantrea could hardly carry his bulk.
Tola thought he was mostly jealous; all he had were his weasels, and they were more food than companions.
