The canid spoke, her soft words quite unlike what Cearney had been anticipating. She visibly relaxed, her ears returning to their inquisitive posture yet nothing could shake the feelings of confinement that gripped her mind as she settled herself in a more comfortable position on the cave floor.

She did not know if the woman in front of her knew of her father, yet it shouldn't hurt to mention him.
