Arbiter assumed her words got through because her daughter did keep trying, but really she didn't know how much sense was rattling around inside her children's skulls right now -- this trio was different enough from the last that she wasn't entirely sure if she should use her last experience as a benchmark. She really should have stuck around to see her younger siblings, shouldn't she? Naaaah.
Anyway, she'd give the girl some room to work, stepping back a moment to go herd the other two into something that might improve their skills. Encourage a bit of a tussle at the promise of a select treat from the next prey provided to them? The squeak drew her attention back, ears tilting forward as she looked to see what progress had been made. A couple of steps back when the woodrat shot out past Grub.
She was quick to act, pouncing forward at it with a bit of a bark but didn't make an attempt to grab it. They didn't need to catch that particular rat for their survival, so having it as a children's toy sounded like a better solution. It was a good size for Grub... If she could catch it. To a small creature, Arbiter really was some monstrous devil beast, and it spun back and away -- better to take a chance with the smaller monster.

Arbiter is often not a nice person and will think mean things without acting on them.
