Ying's friendliness earned a smile and a wiggle of the yearling's tail. She felt a little bashful at the praise, especially since she hadn't really done much, but she didn't refute it. Harps dipped her head in acknowledgement and returned the nudge, before returning her attention to the darker woman.
She didn't offer a name, nor did she give the name of the wife she mentioned. Harps had some guesses, though she bit her lip uncertainly. Would it be awkward to ask for both? Her copper eyes skipped back to Ying for a second, comforted by the brief but solid familiarity, before deciding to start by answering the questions put to her.
"I've just been trying to get familiar with the borders and the caches," she said, "since I've never really dealt with either. I grew up a nomad," Harps explained. "It's pretty novel, having a home base like this. We have land, food, company. It feels..." She trailed off as she tried to come up with a way to describe the sense of insulation she experienced here. "I guess it feels like home." She laughed self-consciously, thinking of all those months on the road. "I never want to leave the plateau now."
