Moonspear we were always so damn insecure

The alpha watched her react, adjust, and from the start, at least she had the courtesy to begin with something that Ame could agree on: a compliment towards her home, and proof enough that she had the better sense to notice, as well as appreciate it. She didn't ease off the rigidity of her expression just yet, but did not suggest anything more intense than such right here right now. A start. A small one. Instead she nodded her silent thanks, happy to at least be in the company of someone of good taste.

Another plus followed. A naturalist, of the sky and earth, all delivered neatly and spearheading into an unexpected point that kept this short and sweet. They had just bled out a notable chunk of their membership, leaving a lot of niches opened these days, and she liked being able to nurture (and learn alongside) naturalists here..  plus a healer may have something Lyra could gain from.

But, suspicions were at a height here. New blood had the potential to work well for them.. almost as much as they had the chance to abandon at a moment's notice as well. Despite this, Ame's ears softened their tilt, phasing very gently towards less demand, more curiosity. She glanced her over again, savoring a blink and quickly back to consideration. Without much prompting, it seemed she already had much of the information she would need; all of her typical questions were already answered.

"This is Moonspear." As always, it was first, but clearly hers. "I am Amekaze. Where did you come from before here?" she asked, looking to suss out any baggage that could be on her heels, or distractions to lure her away one day. The fewer, the better.
