Ankaios began to feel... Uncomfortable. To begin with, this tiny woman was far too chipper. He certainly preferred it to outright aggression, but only slightly. Her way of speaking was cheery, her expression was eager and kind, and in all it just skewed him a bit off balance. And then there was this other fellow, larger than Kai, and quiet. Him, he liked. Probably. It was hard to tell, seeing as he didn't bring much to the table. Ankaios sniffed, but even he could not say if it were due to his linger cold or if there was a grain of contempt. This was supposed to be his healing lesson, after all. He had never been good at sharing.

The tiny woman spoke, and to her credit one of the first things out of her mouth in regards to him was a compliment. The living ember sat up a bit straighter, ears perking with appreciation and gracious acceptance of the compliment. "She did what she could, Miss Amalia," he purred. "And yes, I've been taking pains to learn the art, but I unfortunately lack for a teacher of any merit." Her spared a moment to look towards the others in their group. A female of smokey pelt, smaller than he, and a man of mixed hues who loomed over him. They made an interesting gathering of course, but Kai had no strong urge to investigate them further. He watched them with a level gaze, waiting to see what they would make of themselves. Perhaps one would be useful, though hoping that both might be seemed to strain against probability.

Once more Amalia would speak, taking time to address the larger man before divulging her own particular interests. Kai did what he could to stifle any sort of sourness he felt inside. If he truly wanted to learn, it was more than likely he would be doing so under the tutelage of gentle souls, so he may as well learn to tolerate them. Her saccharine ways were irksome, but she was clearly a learned creature, and he told himself that he would just have to make do.
