The coyote woman nodded in response to the thanks, another faint smile darting across her face. It was difficult to dislike Vieira when everything she spoke was perfect politeness, when she completed every task the grizzled hybrid commanded wonderfully. The coyote woman once more considered her good fortune in Eris sending the coyote here. The sable-furred canine was a mystery; she had abandoned her mother for dead and Vieira had not come with an explanation for that act, merely an apology. It was Kae's first instinct to distrust Viei and everything she said, but if the other canine had been sent here with another motive or a hidden purpose, Kaena could sense nothing of it. After all, they were living together in rather tight quarters, and anytime Kaena wanted she could have stuck her head in Viei's dwelling and checked over it, just to make sure the smaller canine was hiding nothing.
The Quintus spoke, and the silver-furred hybrid looked over at her and the items she'd scrounged from the city. "Pass the candles and the matches here, hm? Two blankets, too. The rest of it you can put on the outer shelf or something, I suppose," the hybrid said, eyeing the chain and collar for a moment. The chain was slightly rusty, but the collar was in pretty good shape, it seemed. The spare blanket was for someone else who needed it—the coyote did not know how well Rikka had settled into her cave, and she worried about Razekiel. He was thin; perhaps he would do well to receive a random gift? The problem there, however, was that the silver-furred canine had no idea where exactly Razekiel had taken up residence. In a moment the hybrid wished she'd instructed Vieira to bring back an entire boatload of blankets for all of Inferni, for she worried about all of them—except for perhaps Halo and Cotl, who no-doubt were well-prepared to the cold season with their insulated rooms and ample resources inside of the mansion.
