Neela's eyes flashed to her guitar at its mention; the guitar was possibly the most valuable and hard to replace of her possessions. However despite Shiloh's worries the guitar was unharmed, aside from the usual dings and scratches anything surviving from the human era bore.

Nope, my guitar looks fine to me," Neela said, smiling and stepping forward as she took the offered hand, shaking it briefly as she introduced herself, "Nice to meet you and Sarian, Shiloh, I'm Neel and my companion-" Neela cast her gaze to the shop window, wondering where Grynn had gotten to, "-whenever she turns up again, is Grynn." As Neela was about to step back she felt something nudging her leg and looked down to see the puppy, Sarian she reminded herself, was pawing her. Smiling at the child's total lack of fear around strangers Neela bent down, putting her face level with the puppies, amber eyes warm as she looked at the child.

While the sight of the puppy did send a small pulse of sorrow running through her it was nothing like that which had been brought about by the sight of Jace's child, which was brought about by not seeing any puppies for a long time. "Hello there, little one" She said softly, giving the puppy a sniff and a lick in the ear before she straightened up once more.

Neela shook her head lightly at Shiloh's offer, "Thanks for the offer, but I;ve never found much use for clothes with my fur," She gestured down to her long, thick fur, "Perhaps you could help m-" Before Neela could finish a loud screech echoed through the building and Grynn swooped in through the open window. The falcon landed elegantly on top of Neela's guitar and scanned her head around the room, her eyes resting on the puppy for several seconds as she did so, before she transferred her gaze to Neela.

Opening her beak wide for a second Grynn seemed to struggle before words came out of her beak, her voice oddly scratchy "Neela" The falcon paused and Neela raised a brow; while Grynn was perfectly capably of understanding high speech and speaking it fairly well for her species she tended not to, preferring to speak her low speech dialect which Neela could understand. While she waited for Grynn to continue Neela turned her head to Shiloh slightly, "That’s Grynn, don’t worry about her; she's a bit grumpy and looks fierce but she's safe." Neela didn’t want Shiloh to worry about Grynn, especially as the bird wasn't far off from Sarian's size.

With a quick glare at Neela to stop her talking Grynn continued, "Neela… found knowedthing… buildermake, outside." Builder was what Grynn called humans when she talked about them in high speech, and knowedthing meant that the bird had seen something that she had seen Neela using, but didn’t know the name for; the bird often had trouble naming tools and equipment in high speech as bird low speech had no words for tools.

Making a mental note of the fishing line's location so that she could come back for it later Neela turned once again to Shiloh, remembering the woman's offer of help, "Sounds like Grynn has found something useful, would you like to come along and see what it is?"
