It wasn't so much of a pull to socialize that brought her to the leader meeting, or even the fact that it would remain in her best interest with the other leaders to go. No, a large reason that the leader of Cercatori d'Arte was here was to observe; the mechanics and way that the market and festival worked were remarkable to her, and as the leader of the pack whose focus was art and trade, she thought it in her - and the pack's - best interest to observe how it worked so that perhaps, some day, they could set up something similar.
Mahavite's leader meeting and feast was no different. Not one to ignore etiquette, Skye had brought along a rather enormous hunk of meat, seasoned with spices and herbs from the garden that her own pack had grown by hand. Setting it down at a table, she scanned the area for the leaders; she recognized Titania, the extremely young leader, although she did not forget that she was not too old when she started Cercatori d'Arte with the more experienced Shawchert. The white woman was with who Skye presumed to be Zalen; although she had never met the male personally, she recognized him from what Titania had said before she left.
She smelled a strong scent of Inferni, and saw a coyote with a bow and arrow; the tell-tale red stripe down his nose told her that he could be of Lykoi blood. Scanning the room some more, she saw a white woman she knew as Naniko; remembering her from a time past when she had been looking for her own parents in the Halycon Mountains, she didn't forget the woman's kindness to her in helping her find them. The last leader she did not recognize; all black with yellow symbols near his eye, he smelled of the pack that had taken up residence quite near Cercatori d'Arte. She inched away from the coyote man who was directly next to the door and settled in her own corner, not quite as apart from the crowd as he seemed.
