Talking to strangers was completely exhausting, even if they were family and even if they were pups. The constant analyzing and trying to match words with what emotions lie behind them, trying to study facial expressions and tell if they were genuine or forced... at least with kids it was a little easier, since they usually wore their hearts on their sleeve much more, which Tethys appreciated. Ursa's tail was wagging and she was smiling, obvious signs that she was enjoying their time together so far, even in the first brief moments.

"I thought so," she acknowledged their relation with a nod. She was always glad to get to know family, even if interacting with most wolves was more draining for her than it was for others. At least the girl was doing plenty of talking, which left her happy to observe more than anything, watching as she pulled out a big shell and pushed it her way. Tethys studied it, nudging it with a paw to get it to flip over to examine its opposite side. She'd never really taken time to study shells like this before and they were admittedly pretty, even if this wasn't an activity she'd choose on her own.

"These are pretty cool," she admitted, watching as a few more were taken out to show her. Ursa explained her mom was Halo - oh, Tethys had spent some time with her before - and she nodded again in understanding. "Using them for storage sounds like a great idea." For healing things like... poultices, weren't they called? Or just old dried herbs. She didn't know much about all that, but using these for storage made sense to her, and showed Ursa had an inventive mind. Color Tethys impressed.

"Uh. I was just watching the sunset," she admitted, sounding a little embarrassed to even be admitting it. "I'm not sure I've ever seen one so colorful before." Though her attention drifted to the sky, watching the way the darker sections were starting to overtake the sun's rays and cast a wide arch of sky in deep purple, she quickly brought her gaze back to the shells being shown to her.
