"Why, thank you," she smiled, accepting the freckled girl's gift. She was glad to be getting off to a good start -- not like she doubted her new pack's kindness, but she was a bit intimidated by the whole thought. Fortunately, Portia was generous enough to give her one of her beautiful stones.

"I suppose they couldn't heal physically...but mentally, their appearance does seem to soothe the soul," she muttered, reaching down to nose the stone towards herself. "In a way, I could see how these would make one feel better. Mental healing and physical healing seem to go hand-in-hand," she explained, merely thinking aloud.

"But I doubt that touching a gemstone would solve all your ailments, however pretty it may be," she grinned, studying the oddly marked female a bit more. Her facial markings were intriguing, as was the rest of her.
