Phoenix Maplewood stoned at the nail salon

The young woman apologized, to Rye it appeared honest enough but her name, the way she phrased it left the man unsure at the authenticity. His eyebrows furrowed, agouti tail twitching with agitation as he thought about his next words. "It's thataway'," Rye, coincidentally, gestured in the direction 'Suricate' had come from, most likely giving away his lie. Moving on with giving his name next, the hotah opted to give his real name, seeing no danger in giving that truth. "And I'm Rye. Where are you from? Are you from a pack near here?" Perhaps hostilities could end if she turned out to be from a neighboring pack Duskfire was allied with. Rye hadn't personally visited their allies and knew next to nothing of their pack members, hopefully she would turn out to be one of theirs.
