Manea!

Manea couldn't help but grin as Ricin's attempts at being serious slipped for a moment with an eager wag and smile at her praise before he could catch himself. He really was adorable and she hoped he never lost that sweet spark he had as he grew older. Her ears perked with interest as he signaled for her to be quiet and she listened intently as he brought her attention to the sounds of the small animals that were scampering, hidden around the catacombs of the cellar. She hummed at the idea of corralling some of them to create a breeding spot for the small creatures to create a constant supply of food. It wasn't something she would have ever considered, but it wasn't a bad idea at all. At the very least she did think he was right that they would need to clear this place out if they were going to use this as storage for anything edible.
At his beaconing, she followed him deeper into the underground cellar, looking around curiously at what he had found and nodding occasionally as he pointed out certain things. Eventually he reached a room that she actually hadn't found in her initial search of the place. Her brows lifted with interest as she walked around and inspected the various jars and curiosities. Now she would certainly need to bring Irilyth here for sure so that the little healer could make heads or tails out of all of this stuff. At the very least they looked helpful and like things she had seen Irilyth make before so surely she could make use of them. Manea turned back toward Ricin as he explained his ideas for how to make this place a viable hideout with a little grin.
When he turned to face her with that eager look in his eye she smiled, stepping closer so that she could gently ruffle the fur on his head with her paw. "You did very well. Congratulations, Rimor. You're hired." She grinned and chuckled, letting Ricin have a moment of celebration before she nodded back the way they came. "Come on, lets get back to the island. I think you've earned a good dinner and some celebration." She started leading the way out of the cellar to start heading back, already making plans to come back with some of the others so they could start taking advantage of this treasure trove of supplies sooner rather than later.
