Neela's floppy ears twitched in Dalgina's direction as the puppy appeared through the trees and she offered the pup a sweet smile, the good mood generated by her playing enduring as she called over to the pup, her voice soft and sweet,"Hello there sweetie." Neela stayed still as the puppy approached but Grynn shifted on her perch and took off, remembering the brave little pup from before.
Worried about a repeat of last time if Jace were present Neela called out to Grynn in low speech, the language passing her lips as a short whistle followed by several clicks. Heeding Neela's words Grynn changed her course and landed awkwardly on the ground near the two, close enough to be near to Dalgina without appearing threatening if Jace were to happen upon them. Staying in than position Grynn stared intently at Dalgina, making a curious crooning noise as she examined the pup. Neela turned back just in time to witness Dalgina prod the guitar strings with her nose, prompting a laugh from the collie as Dalgina drew backwards from the lingering vibrations.
"It’s a guitar sweetie. An instrument, for making music." Neela explained in response to Dalgina's question, her hands once more strumming up a simple tune once she was sure Dalgina was clear of the instrument. This time Neela was playing an upbeat, jumpy tune for the puppy, though one that had no accompanying words. As she played Neela watched Dalgina's reaction to the music; if the puppy was enjoying it then she would carry on for a while, if not then she would cut her playing short.
