She could swear the wench was making a show of sidling up to Issun, nibbling his ear and whispering into it as she smiled at Minori. Minori's lips quivered briefly with the temptation to snap at the chocolate furred woman but fortunately for the girl Ruenna showed up and she gave the Beta a look of mixed emotion. First was surprise, then embarrassment and lastly annoyance. Her gaze smoldered hotly at the Beta before she tore her gaze away and allowed herself to be introduced. The way Ruenna mentioned her rank made her stiffen and she looked at the woman from the corners of her eyes before releasing a sigh and focusing on softening her demeanor. She knew the beta, she was kind and never tried to step on anyone's toes. She knew Ruenna didnt get why Minori was upset and pulling rank. She sucked in a slow breath and exhaled just as Kavik arrived. 


The female introduced herself and stated she would love to join, mentioning she had been looking for Issun for a long time. Minori's head swam, a burning, stabbing sort of emotion (jealousy) rising up within her. What was Takara? A sister? A friend? A long lost lover? She studied the woman for a long moment and gave a resigned sigh. It was winter and they needed as many able bodied members as possible, Issun looked happy and it softened her heart, plus the woman was sure as hell no threat to her. She would beat that sly, taunting manner right out of her if need be. So she smiled, the expression tense though no longer hostile. She looked to Kavik and Ruenna "We could always use more eager, loyal helping paws. We have lost one, others are not able to help prepare for winter" she pointed out her eyes getting a sad look as she tossed a silent prayer for Liri to get well. She turned to Takara "Do you have any skills? How is your hunting?" she asked. If Kavik and Ruenna had a problem with her asking some of the nescessary questions, she would listen to their command to step down though she wouldn't be happy with it.
