Though her mind was busy, finding physical goals to work toward helped briefly distract her thoughts. And right now at least she had something to do, even if that something was a relatively small and mundane task - it was still better than doing nothing, at least in her mind. She stretched out her forepaws at Azzurra helped look over her supplies, hopeful for the prospect of some real help. Making a gift that fell apart immediately was hardly better than no gift at all; she wanted to make something a little longer-lasting. Something Theory could remember her by even when she wasn't around. The thought didn't settle well with her but she knew she had to be realistic; the future was unknown and she knew her God worked in ways that she couldn't pretend to comprehend, so she couldn't pretend to know what the future held for either of them.

Thalia watched as Azzurra examined her materials more closely. She explained she knew how to make braids and Thalia's ears perked slightly with interest. "I noticed some of the shells had holes in them. Maybe we could use them to weave the twine through?" She added after a moment of thought. This was so far out of her realm of expertise that she honestly felt at a loss but she was grateful Azzurra was willing to help her, and she'd take advantage of her help as much as she could. "Could you show me how to braid it, then?" Asking for help wasn't something she was good at nut Azzurra's interest made it somehow feel easier. She'd shift so she was sitting a little closer to the other woman, brows furrowed as she focused on the task at hand.
