Sif's jaw almost dropped at the stranger's question. Xan had told her they were friends! She nearly tripped over herself trying to confirm this, tail wagging double-time as if to make up for the other's lack of enthusiasm. "Friends! Ja," she agreed with a bob of her head and a little bow of excitement. "I'm Sif," she added, in case Xan had not shared that, and also because it usually prompted others to share names as well.

"Are you kona?" she asked curiously. "Um - Xan kona?" She'd forgotten the word for wife again. Speaking almost exclusively with Wardruna and Poet was becoming something of a problem, in that regard. She would have to practice extra hard to learn the language of this pack.
