To be continued

Azzurra grinned gratefully as she settled back onto her haunches once Thalia introduced herself and agreed she could join her. She lowered herself down to the ground with a soft, relieved sigh. Her legs were achey and she knew she'd need to go back to the den soon before she was too tired and would have to get Balthier to help her back, but for now she could lay down and relax while she examined the supplies and odds and ends that were spread out between them. Her ears perked with curiosity as she heard that this was things that were meant to be made into a necklace for Theory. She knew that Theory led the pack and she knew that she was a relative to her of some sort, but she wasn't sure that she had actually met her at any point. If she had she couldn't remember. But even still, the idea of making a necklace was exciting and it made her small nub of a tail wag while her sapphire gaze showed her interest.

She looked through the various things from the twine to the shells to the bits of leather as they were pointed out to her, humming thoughtfully as she reached over to turn over one of the shells to look at it more closely. She did have a good amount of the twine here and it reminded her of some of the things her father would give her to keep her occupied when she wasn't quite well enough to leave the den, but she was well enough to think clearly and wanted a task to do. Dainty paws lifted the twine, unrolling it to see how much there was. "I know how to make a pretty braid from this kind of stuff," she suggested. "Dad would give it to me to make ropes out of, but I never wanted to make ropes - I wanted to make braids and bracelets." Her smile grew a little sad for a moment before she tried to brush the thought away, quickly adding, "I think we could probably weave some of the other things into it too. Like a thin strip of leather down the middle or maybe some of the shells."
