Skye stood in the corner for a while, simply watching the leaders with a slight fascination; the interactions she had had while sitting at the table had been cordial enough, and she was still marveling at how so many wolves with such authority and leadership in their minds and dominance in their stances could mingle about peacefully - she supposed it was the same way that she could; with enough self-control, and social expectations, she supposed that anything was possible. It was, too, partly because of Mahavites and his crew's calming effects and food; she had experienced firsthand that a full belly was more likely to have a calm demeanor come with it - and an empty one was more likely to be harboring a crabby and irritable mood.
Her thoughts were interrupted as a familiar voice sounded, and she turned to it; it was Titania, Shawchert and Orin's child, who had gone to create a new pack with her presumed mate. Although she had been short in Cercatori d'Arte, seemingly taking after Orin, it was prominent that Shawchert's genes were also very present; she stood taller than the Capitana, although not as much as Shawchert had. And, although Titania held herself very tall and proud, Skye could not help but feel a twinge of amusement, and although she tried, she could not see the girl as anything more than a pup. It was more akin to a pup playing leader to her than anything, although she did not allow her emotions to betray her too much; even then, the memories of Titania being born and romping around the packlands as a pup, and even disobeying her elders and throwing a temper tantrum, were prominent in her mind.
"Hello, Titania," she said cordially, her own stance and facial expression forming a more casual and relaxed demeanor than Titania's more rigid, polite one. "I am doing well, as is Cercatori d'Arte." Her pack was doing well enough now - although after Titania left, much had happened. She did not withdraw the tidbits of news that she thought were important, however, and with New Dawn being so far from Cercatori, she did not take them as a threat, nor did she think Titania or Zalen to be one to attack them. And Cercatori was small, but not weak.
She felt no need to remind Titania of the incident with Liam, which she still had been in Cercatori to witness; rather, she gave information that she thought she should know - and information that gave Cercatori d'Arte the appearance of a strong pack, which they were, and were climbing to become. "We have built a boat, and it has proven to sail; we are hoping to be able to trade with oversea packs and lands quite soon; we already have picked up some trinkets from lands over the bay," she said happily. It had been true; the boat was a success, and Skye could not be happier about it. She then deemed it well to tell Titania of her family - she deserved to know if she did not already. Pain racked Skye as she thought of what had happened to Titania's family, to her own sister... and sympathy went out for Orin from her. "Orin is doing well," she said, stretching the truth slightly; Orin's obsession over Taliesin's guilt as a killer was growing each day, but she did not think it was necessary to divulge that information with Titania. "Shawchert has left Cercatori d'Arte - perhaps you have seen him?" she asked. It was no use delaying the real information that Juliet's sister deserved to know, however. "And Juliet... Orin has sent Juliet to the neighboring pack, Casa di Cavalieri," she said delicately. "Juliet had a run-in with a... horrible man, when she was outside the packlands," she said, cursing the man and herself for not being more vigilant for one of the youngest members of the pack. She felt that everything in her pack was wrong.. but she was determined to make it right. She was determined to make it a safe place for pups, not the horror that everyone saw it as. Poor Juliet seemed to feel safe in Casa for now, which was all that Skye wanted for her at the moment, for her to be happy and safe.
