Leith felt curious not only about Towhee's language, but of its conception as well. He couldn't imagine inventing movements that could accurately depict all of the words that his mouth could make- but according to the Chief, she seemed to have figured it out. He could only imagine how much of a relief it must be for her to have others learn how to speak with her- language helped to liberate feelings and ideas.
"Ah," He said, clicking his tongue at his own error. He followed the man until the peak came into view, naturally drawing his eye to its tall, jagged form. A smaller formation of mountains seemed to be the place where Kukutux lived- easy enough to spot if you had the proper vantage point. Leith gazed up at the sky for a moment, calculating the placement of the sun and the rough time of day so that he could get a good enough bearing on what direction the two packs lay in. A third was mentioned, one next to the coast. He sniffed and nodded, taking in all the directions with ease. "I'll have to pay them all a visit in time," He said. His thoughts strayed first between Moonglow and Moonspear, knowing that they might have someone who could trade knowledge with him.
He was relieved to hear that the conflict involving Ariadne might not sour their relationships with the other packs, though his brow lifted when Dutch touted himself as a charming man. The statement surprised him so suddenly that he laughed. "She must," He agreed, giving the man an appraising look for a moment. There was plenty to appreciate about his looks in general, and while his earliest (and foggiest) memories of Dutch painted the picture of a relatively serious man, he learned quickly that he was not without a good sense of humour as well.
He rolled a shoulder, as if to shrug off any bias. He'd only met Ariadne twice, and she had seemed fine- but he was willing to both forgive her for her abandonment, figuring that there must be some reason he must not yet know. "We'll be fine here as we are anyhow, I'm sure," He said. "Who else have we got in the pack? Any other specialists?"
