'cause i'm on the tv

As the large, pale creatures slip and swim within the Sound, she watches them soundlessly. Clicking to each other, like they're speaking. It's almost mesmerizing, though Iscariot wouldn't allow herself to be hypnotized so easily. Studying how they swim and drift, and doing her best to count them from her perch-- worrying that moving closer may push them farther out. It seemed to be ten or twelve of them, though she couldn't be wholly certain from this vantage point. For as often as the belugas haunted the Sound, she'd have plenty of time to collect more complete observational data.

From her perch, the girl is closer to the sultan's eye level. As he approaches, speaks her name, Iscariot's head snaps from her careful study of the sea. "Sephiran." There's a stiff dip of her muzzle, prescribed deference. It's only a heartbeat before her gaze is drawn off by the whales once more, one of the beasts blowing water from its blowhole. Alert to it, though her attention is quick to return to Sephiran. She wouldn't be caught lacking, though the way the beasts communicated was still of great interest.

His question shouldn't come as a surprise. She's arrived, and done what she can to prove her competency near-immediately. Frankly, from where Iscariot stands, she never has to rearrange her personality into something likeable as long as she's useful. Her steady gaze remains on Sephiran's face, tone hanging rather earnestly as she speaks. "The trackers and bounty hunters, mostly." A little shrug of her shoulders, weight shifting over her haunches as she turns to face him more fully.

"Prey animals are easier, but it's the same skill set." Not only that, she'd been diligent about attending lessons, but it's not worth outlining. Sephiran had seen her, he'd been there. There's no need to spell things out, at least the things after her arrival. Stepping up to help meet the needs of the pack, just in her own hyper-competent way.
