To be continued

Finally she settled down once she was sure she had everything she needed. She wasn't totally confident she could even construct the sort of gift she was envisioning for Theory, but she'd give it her best effort regardless. She slid to her belly and laid out the materials she'd gathered, wrapped up in a strip of hide. Thalia had no clue what she was doing and she paused as she sunk into deep thought, eyes drifting from the dried plant fiber and back to the adornments she'd gathered that might prove useful. Lost in thought, she barely noticed someone approaching until the yearling was upon her, and she looked a bit confused when she finally lifted gaze to meet Azzura.

"Hello," she returned the greeting a little less warmly. It was rare for her voice to demonstrate much emotion at all, let alone warmth; since getting used to life in Abaven she had become a quite a bit more comfortable but she'd yet to lose her guarded edge. She was hardly standoffish though, nodding at the stranger's questions. "I'm Thalia. Sure, you can join me if you'd like. I'm not really sure what I'm doing," Thalia admitted carefully. Showing weakness was difficult for her, even when it came to something as unimportant as making a gift like this, but the prospect of help was nice too. "I'm trying to make a necklace for Theory. I have this twine here--" She lifted a paw to gesture toward the length of the dried plant fiber. "And some shells and bits of leather, and uh..." There was an assortment of things she'd collected but she doubt most would really work, now that she thought about it more. Instead of finishing her sentence she gave a little shrug, glancing toward Azzurra hopefully.
