Takara took in the scene playing out before her with a smile that never faltered, which was almost as mysterious to Rue as Minori's behavior. If her and Takara's roles were reversed, Rue would have been absolutely scrambling to remove herself from this border as quickly as posssible (indeed, she wished she could do exactly that this very moment). And speaking of hasty retreats, the mercenary who-- moments before-- had been eager to engage the new recruit was now withdrawing herself rapidly. Rue felt completely lost in this interaction; like she was the only one present who was missing some piece of vital information. 

Rue's ears lifted as Takara mentioned her skills in entertainment. A spark of something hopeful dashed across her otherwise dubious expression. She was a  bard? "How delightful!" Rue complimeted earnestly, "And just in time for Yule." Truly, Rue was willing to offer a home to Takara simply because Issun vouched for her. Even if the bard had no hunting or fighting skills whatsoever, it would have made no difference in Rue's opinion. If Issun was prepared to take responsibility for Takara, for be it from Rue that she should vote to keep a packmate apart from his long lost friend. The beta met Kavik's gaze and nodded, signaling her approval of the new recruit.
