Broaden your horizons

Manea's gaze followed the poised young pup as she moved closer and settled near her, though clearly respectful in her distance and manners. She very clearly was being raised well. Her parents must take her upbringing very seriously - something she could certainly appreciate. There was little of more importance in her culture than children and how they are raised. Her ears swiveled forward to listen to the well spoken girl when she listed off her many names, a slight smile of amusement tugging at her lips, but she was still impressed that a girl so young was as eloquent as she was. "Manea Mendacium," she replied with a small dip of her head to her new, young acquaintance. She clearly carried the scent of the pack she had been watching for the last few hours and with the way she carried herself she wouldn't be surprised if this was a child of the pack's alphas. She couldn't imagine that every child was as prim and proper as this girl was.

"You're quite beautiful, Miss Okiku Ikigai Ōritsu Abraxas," she commented with a soft chuckle as she reached out with a feline-like paw, her soft paw pads cupping the girl's chin to turn her head from one side to the other, admiring her delicate markings and now noticing the small nubs where horns would form one day. She heard a shuffle and a low, threatening growl form somewhere behind the girl and she tipped her head to look past Ikigai curiously, spotting the large dog that seemed to be her escort. A couple more of the canines joined its friend, making it very clear that the girl was under their protection. She smirked and let her paw fall away, saying, "Don't worry, dogs. I'd never harm a pup - especially not one as well bred as this one."

Her unwavering aqua gaze remained on them until they settled again and then she refocused her attention on her little guest. "You must be quite important to have such a stringent protection around you," she commented with a curious tilt of her head, resting her leg over her other one once again as she laid elegantly in the shade.
