As soon as she heard that the other pack was doing well, her mind set to a different task. Figuring out why Nayru was here. She was a calculating wolf herself, not making a gesture or speaking to another without first thinking about why she ought to do one thing or another. Quiet and thoughtful much of the time, the female simply listened as the other told her of her reason for treading near Anathema's borders.
If she could afford to leave the pack alone to come all the way to Anathema to deliver this gift, then Dahlia had to be doing very well. This was good to hear. Naniko's own pack had been growing with the times, and she often wondered if she ought to promote another wolf to help her with the day to day duties that a leader oversaw. With this many members, it didn't make sense not to promote someone else. She would have to speak with Theodore on it, though...she made no decisions without first consulting him first. She would have to take his judgements into consideration when making her own choice.
She nodded deeply in acceptance of the gifts that Nayru offered her. Nyx had once shown her onyx stones of her own before, so Naniko did know what the beads that adorned the bracelet were made of. At the time she had hoped that she would someday possess a stone with the same dark beauty as the ones that her pack member had shown her. "I don't know what to say. Congratulations on your promotion, and I hope that it came under good circumstances. We have been dealing with the loss of my sister, and these gifts mean much to me. The three stones on that bracelet make me think of my two sisters and I...though one is now walking the realms of the Creator, I know that she is always with me. Thank you, Nayru."
She felt the urge to give the woman something in return for such a precious gift, but had nothing on her but her daggers and fire-starting kit. "I will come to visit you in your lands sometime soon. I am sure that Anathema and Dahlia could be of service to each other in the future if such a situation arose. Your wolves will be welcomed within my caves if your pack should ever find themselves in danger." She promised. Someone who treated her well would be treated equally well in return, this she would make sure of.
