now the aftermath will ring with songs you've sung

For a moment, Thorax half-questions her own decision. Her name won't have any weight here- not that it had as much as her family would have liked before- and the last thing she wants is to get into an immediate fight. It's something she pushes aside straight away, because she has no reason to second guess herself like this, really. She's done nothing wrong, and if the other canine meets her with aggression, then that says more about them than it does her, doesn't it?

It still doesn't stop her from releasing a mental sigh of relief when the other wolf is indeed friendly, making room for Thorax- which she gladly moves to take- and....flirting? For a moment, Thorax's brain blue-screens; she hadn't expected this from the first wolf she met (not that she minded), and a little voice in the back of her mind reminded her that she was still...Technically? Bethrothed? But the other woman seems powerful, and she's sure they won't meet again, at least not so soon.

Before she can come up with a good enough line- something about helping pretty ladies, maybe?- before someone else shows up, bigger than the pretty lady and, from what Thorax could tell, older than the both of them. And holy shit, does she want to wither up and die from pure disgust at the newcomer's words. For the record, somehow, she doesn't snarl up her nose in disgust, no matter how much restraint it takes her, and instead eyes the man with as much interest as she would the common crow.

"I'm sure we've been through worse than just rain." It's an agreement to the horned wolf's words, and she has half a mind to send him on his way. Maybe it's the remaining prickling at her skin from his opening line, but she already knows, for a fact, that she doesn't like him. The other woman seems more reasonable, though, and takes the help offered.

"While you gather them, I can sort them." The last thing they need is the whole roof falling because of one bad branch, after all- and even with her shorter height, Thorax still needs to do something.
