Skye smiled and padded along as the two wolves slowly entered the territory with her. It had been a long time since she had brought someone into the pack, and the feeling was refreshing, almost renewing. She was happy to see the girl's instant curiousity as she was accepted, and saw her unfold into a still respectful but now more confident demeanor, asking questions and seeming happy and curious about her surroundings. Skye did not interrupt Hotaru's answering the questions, seeing it as a good way to get her more involved; she could sense a visible and sensational difference in Hotaru's personality now, and was glad to see her smile.
Hotaru's smile was something Skye did not see very often at all, and seeing it now lifted Skye's spirits even further. She admired the blind member of the pack and to see her truly happy for this moment was something special indeed; she valued the happiness of all in her pack and having seen Hotaru do many creative and inspiring things, her happiness brought the alphess's as well.
"You are correct; I'd say that maybe three fourths of the pack live in Thornbury; it certainly is a sociable place," she said warmly. She perked her ears at the thought of this new member being a teacher to those in the pack - it would be excellent to reiterate what the pack was about; learning, trading, creating. She also thought it may help strengthen relations within the pack; that certainly was never something that went amiss. She continued to listen to the conversation as they padded along the territory.
The upper part of her lips curled up in a small smile as Dara showed great admiration for Hotaru's wooden creations. The blind woodworker had always sparked inspiration within Skye herself, reminding her that any and all could create beautiful art, even those who could not do something most took for granted.
