Hey-ho! Hear me now!

If pressed to hazard a guess, Cael would say that Shaye looked pleased, which made Cael feel pretty good about her choice to call the alpha. The sense of pride she suddenly had made her sit up a little bit straighter, awaiting whatever suggestion Shaye might give her. Extra care went into paying close attention to everything Shaye would go on to say. Caelestis didn't want to miss any of it. Doing well felt important all of a sudden, so fucking up at the very beginning was definitely unacceptable.

First Shaye said she wanted for Cael to go around the hot springs and look for a herd of deer that was supposed to be there and see if they'd remained or moved on. Hm… the springs were… south… west? Yeah, southwest of Abaven by a ways. Next Shaye would go on to say that a wolf had recently entered the territory and was being pursued? Woah, that was an interesting bit of news. Frowning deeply, she decided she might prefer to have a companion at her side if there was the potential for hostile figures outside. Normally she felt quite confident in her own ability to protect herself, but if there was any potential for her to find herself outnumbered, she'd really like to even the odds. Maybe she should do a little searching and see if she could find Asharya before she got too far?

"Okay," she began, head tilting ever so slightly as she went back over what Shaye said and then repeated it back, "Circle the hot springs and check to see if the deer herd is still around, and keep an eye out for slavers that might be in the area. Got it. I can do that." with a firm nod, her smile would return with a look of determination. Suddenly she wanted do better than good. Maybe she could surprise and impress Shaye with what she accomplished.

If it were possible Cael might actually be glowing, she was so relieved and excited to find herself being praised. "No problem!" she answered quickly, rising to her paws and lifting the right front to glance down at the thick leather bracelet on her arm. The little red needle behind the glass spun several times, swinging around haphazardly until it seemed drawn to one direction in particular. Nodding to herself, Cael took a step towards the water. "Guess I'm off then, see you later Shaye!"
