The creamy white female had known it was a special event - a very special event that was the first that Cercatori d'Arte had partaken in in such a manner. They would have an ally, a forged friendship that would not cease. Casa di Cavalieri's weaponry and strength, she thought, combined with Cercatori d'Arte's resources and modes of transportation, would be quite the force to reckon with indeed.

The event was formal, so Skye chose to wear a dress, complimenting the large blue necklace that she wore, along with the many silver-colored bangles and necklaces she wore on top of that. Her visage was startling; her creamy, pale fur juxtaposed sharply against her flaming hair, which complimented the blue, thin dress nicely. She looked as well-dressed and personable as Jazper to her left, who was wearing quite nice attire as well.

Jazper then began to speak to the canines out in the audience, and there were a lot of them indeed; all of Cercatori d'Arte and all of Casa di Cavalieri stood in the floor. He spoke of alliances and friendships, family and togetherness. Then he ceased to speak, and a few members decided to speak, and to give gifts.

First was Aylu; he gave Jazper a long staff, which he said represented times of peace and friendship. It was well-crafted; Skye gave a nod of appreciation to Aylu, thankful that he had spent so much time on this meaningful gift to the alpha of their new friends. Next was a wolf from Casa di Cavalieri; he seemed quite timid and in a rush, but gave gifts to both Skye and to Taliesin, who she considered her functional right-hand man; she was appreciative of his inclusion, and thanked the timid wolf before he had rushed back to his place in the crowd.

Last came another Cavalieri wolf, who handed her a pendant; "Thank you - it is beautiful," she said, her voice warm with appreciation. Taliesin then presented his gift to his brother. As the members of the two packs mingled with the others, Skye decided it was time to make her own speech.

She looked out to the members of Casa di Cavalieri and the members of her own beloved pack; so many wolves, in such a concentrated area, was something she hadn't seen since the winter festival. Clearing her throat, she stood up to the stage and began to speak -

"D'Arte now stands not simply in the heart of another pack, but in that of friends and family," she said proudly, spotting Juliet in the crowd and smiling faintly. "A friendship, an alliance, lasts far longer than the ball that we are attending now - so enjoy it and cherish it as you do this celebration, as we do our new friendship!" she exclaimed with a flourish. Finished with her short speech, she looked to Jazper and smiled - "And of course, I created a gift for our new friends," she said, slightly tongue-in-cheek.

She took out the small chandelier she had crafted herself; she was not a craftsman, but her time with Bangle had allowed her to learn some things about creating, and she had learned enough to make this gift. It was made out of Cercatori d'Arte clay, with its curved details decorated with gems from a necklace that Terra of de Miracles had traded to her. Each end of the chandelier held a candle, made from beeswax; she held it out to Jazper with a grin.

I am with you, I will carry you through it all, I won't leave you, I will catch you. When you feel like letting go, 'Cause you're not, you're not alone
