Sunset was a beautiful time down in Auster. No matter what shore one was on, they were sure to see a dazzling show of reds, oranges, and pinks. Long rays cast over the water as they slowly faded into a deep navy. Twinkling stars began to litter the sky, lighting up the beach as hints of the bioluminescence also began to show. There was no doubt that Shimmering Shore was one of Bramble's favorite places to be. Even after the harrowing event of the tide nearly washing her, Jack, and Dulla away, she still returned. Day after day. Her own balcony at the top of the castle was on the beach side so that she could look upon it during any type of weather. Distracting herself by admiring the wonderful scenery, she tried not to hear Tate approach until his brassy voice made her ears perk up.

There was no hiding the smile that braced her tawny lips. "Would have stayed, but I don't like to worry my parents," Bramble admits, secretly thankful that he can't see the fire that spread across her cheeks. Once he is closer, she leans over to provide him more room upon the fur blanket. Patting a paw beside her, she invites him to sit or lay or however, he wants to be. "Since you were so generous with your fish, I figured it was my turn to share some of Hearthstone's spoils," her grin grows as her eyes crinkle slightly at the corners. If Bramble was anything, it was proud to be a Carpathian and a Hallowed wolf.

Before she can say anything else, Tate is offering her a small parcel. Her eyes widen and her tail hits the ground a few times. "For me?" She asks quietly as she takes the parcel from him and places it gently in front of her. Opening it slowly, a gasp leaves her at the sight of the leather corded necklace with the two bear canines dangling from it. Her eyes lift up to thank him and it is then that she notices he is wearing a nearly identical version. Matching necklaces? Bramble's heart skyrockets as she is left speechless. "Tate, I-I don't, uhm thank you," she begins but stops as her brain is still frozen, unable to compute what it all means.

"I-I'm doing fine. If I'm being honest, that... was not my first time tangling with a bear," Her grin turns cheeky as she blinks a few times and her brain finally returns. "How're you doing? You could have stayed longer if you had needed," Bramble's expression weakens as she slips on the necklace and looks out to the shore. She understood that he hadn't wanted to overstay his welcome and it was probably better that he didn't until he got a chance to officially meet her father, but part of her had hoped that he wanted to stay. There is also a question at the back of her mind now that she can think clearly. Had he really gone back to retrieve the bear's teeth? Had he found anything out? This wasn't the purpose of her asking him to dinner though. The inner conflict wavers for a moment before she clears her throat.

"Please, eat," Bramble insists as she pushes the basket toward him. "There's honeyed peach juice, smoked lamb, some salted buffalo, and goat cheese as well. I think my mother included some fresh honey and bread too. Didn't get berries though, the grove wasn't quite ready when I checked," her words are fast as she explains what all she had brought. Of course, it sounds fancy, but to her, it is normal. The Hallowed wolves worked hard for their spoils and deserved it.
