Skye smiled kindly at the young girl, nodding her head at the raccoon; it was clear that she was giving the hesitant pup permission to eat. Sympathy gnawed its way through Skye's heart; surely this girl came from somewhere where the prey was scarce, or at least not as abundant as it was in Cercatori d'Arte. However, the fact that the girl was waiting for her to eat first was a clear sign of her politeness. Skye wasn't that hungry, suddenly, and wanted the girl to eat first.
Then Windsong asked what was going on. "Nothing, really," she said. The mention of 'scary looking loners' disturbed Skye, but Windsong seemed unhurt; still, she flattened one ear. "Scary looking loners? Windsong, maybe you should stay near Thornbury and Cercatori d'Arte territory for a little while longer. It's dangerous outside of pack territory, especially with all the...loners wandering around," she finished lamely. She had been about to say 'evil people', because Skye knew that there were evil people out there that would do unspeakable things to the innocent young pup, but she didn't want to scare her. Still, she thought that the pup would be safer with an entire pack to protect her than if she was out alone, with no one but herself.
Suddenly, however, Skye's sharp nose caught a familiar scent on the wind; Sankara. She turned her head so that she saw a flash of the grey woman; she also heard her belly grumbling. "Come out, Sankara," she said warmly to the woman. "I know you're there, and this raccoon isn't going to eat itself."
