Miyako smiled at his willingness to help her find the caches. In a pack where she had found few members so far--let alone friends--it was nice to have an ally in her formative days as a resident of the Vale.

"Lead the way, boss," she mumbled through her mouthful of flesh and bone, eyes sparkling with mirth.
