Her response to his gift was pleasing, soothing some of the male's metaphorically ruffled feathers. Her hand grazed his again as she took the leather thong from him, but this time the contact merely left him uneasy once more. She was a witch - To be respected, but not trusted, and only this for as long as she acted compliantly. At the first sign of danger to himself or his Family, the Hunter would come for her. It would be the same way with any Luperci of great power, be they a warrior or an assassin. If the power could be used against him, it had to be most carefully monitored.
It worried him deeply that Eris had recruited another one of her Sisters, but apart from the fact that they were growing in number, he couldn't pinpoint the reason for his deep and gut-churning worry. Never would Sirius succumb to the self-knowledge that he feared their magic - Fear was not a viable reaction to such a thing. The magic was the women's realm, and not his to worry over. A healthy doubt of cynicism would do him well.
Her deep stoop and lowered head were met with impassive silence, although approval lingered in his posture. She would know, as all mind-reading women did, that he regarded such antics highly.
Still tumultuous with uncertainty over the problems Salsola's new member presented to him, Sirius smoothly swung up onto the deep green leather blanketing Luna's back. The mare jostled and champed at her reins, filled with a nervous energy from the challenging presence of the old mare, the strange leather flapping at her legs, and the uneasy presence of her master. "Yes, I expect that you will," The handsome tenor of his voice was careful to hide all traces of disarray. Without further contact, he wheeled the mare about and rode her away.
