Skye let the interaction between new member and old play out; her lips curled up in a slight smile and her eyes warmed as she lagged behind, watching the two. She admired Hotaru's staff along with the new member, Dara; she agreed that it was quite masterfully carved, and beautifully made, even though Hotaru could not see. She guessed that she used her sense of touch to carve, and ran her hands along the wood as she cut it. Yes, the staff was beautiful, and it seemed that Dara agreed; she also said that the lands were beautiful. A surge of pride ran through Skye as she looked about the packlands, looking at what she and Shawchert had taken as theirs, and that she had been leading through the good times as well as the bad.
Her thoughts shifted as Dara's stomach audibly growled. She could see that the female was embarrassed, but she couldn't help a light chuckle; it was in good humor, however, and she nodded as Hotaru offered her food; she had never seen Hotaru as hospitable as she was being, but she was glad of the fact. Perhaps this experience would bring her and the rest of the pack together as one.
Still not saying much, her posture more relaxed, Skye listened as Dara asked about Hotaru's bird. Skye had always admired the bird; she was a fan of them, and found their plumage as well as their ability to soar in the air beautiful. She never inquired about Hotaru's bird, however, and wondered if she would open up in front of the inquisitive young girl.
