The ash-furred hybrid enjoyed having a runner to and from the city more than anything. They had needed things, to be certain, and the coyote woman was too shit-scared to do it herself. There was the possibility of running into Haku again weighing heavily on her mind, and the ash-furred coyote did not think that another encounter with him would end with her walking away. She was scared to death of him above all, and she restricted herself to Inferni territory and near Inferni territory for the most par now. The northern territories were mostly safe, only because he would have had to circle all the way around Inferni to get up there and it was unlikely she'd find him there.
The other canine ceased eating, and appeared at attention, responding affirmatively. Kaena was becoming used to the answers. The Quintus inquired as to what Kaena wanted, and the hybrid contemplated a moment before responding. "A few more blankets would be good. Candles. Matches or a lighter's good, if you can find it," the hybrid said. She had her two chunks of sparking rock, and that was a safety net, but it was much easier to light candles with the lighter or matches. "I think you ought to grab something for yourself, too," the hybrid said, giving the other canine permission to seek whatever she pleased in the wasteland of the city. Kaena was curious to see what Vieira returned with.
"Maybe a chain and collar," she teased impulsively, trying a joke out on the tawny-furred canine. The silvery hybrid had a poor sense of humor at best, and she hardly realized Vieira might not really comprehend it as a joke, but a literal instruction. The air of comfort between them had relaxed her quite effectively, and she grinned to show it was good natured, but as was the usual case with the hybrid woman's smile, her scars marred it and made it generally terrifying.
