Willam felt the opposite of what Ithiel did. She found herself at ease around Ithiel. But then again she didn't feel the pressure to curb her tongue as he was a practitioner of religion as well. because of that she felt she could speak freely around him and didn't worry whether her beliefs showed through or not. Not that it was hard to guess that she was religious with the accessories that she always wore. Still, she felt like Ithiel would be the only one to not prosecute her since he shared in the same beliefs.

But no, she didn't recognize his awkwardness as she had never seen him interact with anyone else before so she had no idea that he was treating her differently. She would have never guessed that he didn't feel the exact same ease and peace of mind that she felt in his presence. Had she known then she would have most likely kept her distance but so far she saw no reason to. She trusted Ithiel completely, not that such was hard for her to do. She always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. She had to for in her version of religion that she had been taught her coyote God had been crucified by the heretic wolves when all her God had wanted was to unite them all. So she treated even wolves pleasantly simply because it was what her God would have done. At least until they showed that they meant harm, that was when Willam's graciousness ran out.

The large coyote female examined the arrow that was handed to her. "These are longer than the ones I use." She remarked before she moved over to her pack that was still slung across Châtiment's back since she had yet to take up residence in any certain place but just slept wherever she happened to be at the time. Willam pulled out the shorter dart from her pack, the shaft only being about a foot long. She brought the dart over to show it to Ithiel, as well as to pass back his arrow.

Willam couldn't help looking relieved, and even a bit happy as she was told that she was right. She wasn't used to hearing such praise all that often. Her own mind sought to always penalize her for any small wrongdoing so it felt good to hear someone else say that she had done something correctly. "I had only assumed so because it was unable to move it." Already she was downplaying her correct judgment by saying it was nothing more than a lucky guess.

Willam knelt down next to Ithiel with her hands rested lightly on her thighs. "Where do we begin?" She made it even more obvious that she was waiting on him for further instruction. He had come across the bird first and so she saw this as being his project and she was only there to offer help. That meant it was up to him to take the lead and tell her exactly what he wanted her to do.
