The two adults speak, the woman introducing herself as Nephele from Yellowstone. The polite dip of her head was not returned by Arrax despite the good-natured manner of the meeting. He instead was solely focused on the satchel upon the ground and the enticing smells emanating from it. Still, he stands by his father's side obediently right up until the Yellowstone stranger mentions it is a gift, and pushes it towards them.

Rusalka remains where he is, but Arrax isn't so politely restrained, and can't help but lean forward eagerly, even going so far as to take a hesitant couple of steps forward. His expression is flat, but the excitement at the gift is clear by his quivering ear tips and frantically waving tail.

They speak of alliances and trades – things the boy didn't know of nor much less care about – and he edges forward a little more, flattening to the ground as if the two adults can't see him.
