Need to fancy it up

Anthea's brows lifted with curiosity as Mercury told her that he was making a wind chime and stated that it was something everything in his family learned how to make at a young age. For something that was so unique it surprised her and also made total sense that it would be a family tradition. Something like that either felt like a special thing she'd see one artisan making or something that got passed down through generations which is what seemed to be the case with Mercury. She supposed her project wasn't all that different in that regard, but it was a bit less specialized. "I can't wait to hear it when it's done," she said with a smile before she turned her gaze back down to her project, using the knife to carefully cut out strips of the leather that were fairly thin and in even, matching strips, laying the strips out beside each other as she moved on to the next one.
When Mercury asked her what she was working on, she paused and turned her gaze back up to him and giving him another smile. "I'm making a wreath that my pack would make for special occasions. Usually any of the families that had young pups that were coming of age or couples that were celebrating big milestones would end up with a bunch of wreaths hanging on the trees around their dens." She pulled a few of the other supplies closer, picking out a few of the feathers and flowers she wanted to start with as she added, "I've seen some do this as a garland too so they can hang it from branch to branch, but I always liked the wreaths. They were easier to collect and save when the event passed." Her expression grew a bit wistful as she continued her work, starting to match up a few of the pieces of leather and starting to braid it together.
"Does your family live near here?" she asked curiously with a glance toward him. She realized that he had given her his family name and mentioned small things like the wind chimes he was making, but not much else about them.
"Anthea Dásos"
