The blind woman gave a quick nod to acknowledge Light's announcement and waited for his return. Hotaru was surprisingly calm. At this moment, all of her problems seemed to melt away. Hotaru gently stroked Fawkes and he ruffled his feathers a little in pleasure. With the roar of the river off in the distance the sounds of the forest came to life. Some sort of small animal was rustling through the bushes. Every now and again, the animal would pause. A small scraping sound could be heard as the animal moved quickly up a nearby tree. It must have been a squirrel.

Hotaru's red-grey ears twitched when she herd the sound of approaching footsteps. Hotaru smiled as she listened to the male seat himself before her. Showing an unusual amount of trust the blind woman allowed Light to place the rabbit in her paw. "Thanks." Hotaru bit into the tender rabbit and felt it's hot blood run down her snout. The rabbit warmed her body and the meat gave her new strength. After her first bite, Hotaru tore off a piece and gave it to Fawkes. Fawkes gave out a cheerful cry and quickly snatched the meat.

Before she became to tempted to eat more Hotaru placed the rabbit in her lap. She didn't want to be rude by snacking on a rabbit in front of a stranger. Although the rabbit tasted great. "There is nothing to forgive, plus you gave me a rabbit." She didn't know if it was because of the shock from nearly drowning or because he had saved her, but Hotaru felt completely at ease around Light. For the first time in months Hotaru was not on edge and she allowed her guard to drop. The grey wolf allowed one ear to swivel back and forth, while the other remained forward but relaxed.

Hotaru talked for a while and was almost completely honest with Light. She talked about how she joined Cercatori d'Arte, although she did not mention the circumstances that led her to the pack. She also spoke of her home and her family. However, the blind wolf made a point of leaving out all of the recent tragedy that had befallen her. There was no sense in allowing tragedies to spoil the mood. Anything she told Light was true, but there was no sadness or despair in her stories. Hotaru would also ask Light questions about himself. She learned he too was an artist who loved to draw. From there, their conversation traveled and changed. After several hours the two parted ways with a promise to see each other agian.
