If the Creek and their disagreements with the Sunspire had not been so glaringly fresh in the forefront of her mind, she may not have thought too much about the similarities between the two wolves. She was wondering, briefly, if perhaps they were related.. although a more up sampling of her smell seemed to lean towards most likely not.
Ame was pleased to not be reminded much of the Creek, beyond the appearances, which she was coming to see the differences now that she looked closely. They were subtle enough.
So, with that much gathered, she was prepared to regard this loner with vague interest -- the fact she lurked so close to the Sunspire warranted the natural protectiveness of home, hence the upward tilt of her tail, while her expression was not overly serious or aggressive as it would have been with a Creek resident. However this all changed, suddenly, when she heard the greeting.
Ame's ears pricked, then quivered curiously at the sound of something so rare yet alarmingly familiar she almost believed she had misheard at first. She was reminded of many things suddenly. It was just a hello.. yet much else as well.
Her stoicism had stumbled here, leaving her confused, surprised and then tenfold more interested. The use of "us", too, spurred a great many questions. そうか...
she breathed with a narrowing squint down at the wolf, having loomed another step or two closer by now. She spoke more delicately this way as she was horrifically out of practice, and sure to trip if she was not careful. There were no others to speak this way with here. At best bits and pieces of her mother's tongue slipped, usually when she was exited, but no one ever spoke back. The last time she had enjoyed that luxury was nearly a year ago. 方法をご存知ですか？
she then asked suspiciously, sniffing at the fox-wolf more obviously now with an outstretched nose.
