Ivy returned the warm smile to Branch as he greeted her silently, though it wilted into a much more serious expression when she cast her gaze to Sephira once again. She was the type to take charge, and always do what needed to be done despite it not being her place - and joining Branch in this call was a perfect example of that. She knew though - or at least she hoped - he wouldn't fault her. She had an air of professionalism that she knew most in their family couldn't match, or at least that was what she'd tell herself.
She was silent as her brother spoke up, noting the thinly veiled layer of enthusiasm beneath his words. It wasn't enough to discredit him in the eyes of a stranger, but it earned a slightly larger smile from her nonetheless. Typical Branch. His excitement was charming rather than over-the-top and she found a surge of fondness in her heart for her littermate in that moment. It was easy enough to focus back on Sephira when she spoke, deciding she was easily one of the most visually appealing wolves she'd ever met. Honestly, she'd never even seen wolves with coats that color, and that wasn't even including the colorful markings that trailed down her back. She was certainly a stark contrast to the far more natural coats of her own family. At least it gave her something to look at, though she was quickly reeled back in when Sephira questioned her, catch her briefly off-guard. If she faltered, it was only inwardly, though it felt like a much more obvious thing to herself. What had she been saying to Branch, again?
"A Ferari is a crafter, essentially," Ivy answered curtly, lifting a single brow as she regarded her. "I'm good at making things." She had no doubt she'd be at home in these lands, too, with the amount of useful trinkets she'd already seen lying about since her arrival in Boreas. Ivy could only hope that settle down wouldn't hinder her craft; wandering had always suited her lifestyle better but she hadn't been able to rest knowing Branch and the other half of her siblings were following him here. No, she felt much more at ease knowing she was here to support him, even if his idea still didn't seem like the greatest one in her mind.
