Wait, was Shaye.. helping him cheat? Then again, there hadn't really been rules laid out. Catch the most fireflies you could in the allotted time, and you'd get rewarded. At least it made him feel some sort of camaraderie between Shaye and himself - more than usual, not that he had much reason to not feel that way about his family member and leader. "Thanks," he said softly, his faint grin returning.
He nodded at her direction, using a paw to gently guide the fireflies into his bag. They definitely were pretty, and there was something weird about scooping them all up, but... he hadn't come up with his game. Hopefully at the end they'd set them all free? It seemed a bit pointless otherwise.
"I've been thinking a little about my role as Blackthorn," he said, a bit hesitantly, after a moment. He didn't want Shaye to think he only cared about fun and distractions. Truthfully, he didn't spend all that much time enjoying himself, even if he probably needed to focus a bit more on his duties. "Sorry if it's Rhyme I should be talking to about this, but I remember you saying I needed to mentor someone. I know you've been working with Poem and Theory, but I'd be happy to help mentor one of them if you wanted."
