This wolf was so different than the ones she knew from back home. He was so inviting and warm, friendly in a way that couldn't be taken as anything but genuine, and yet she couldn't help but be a little skeptical of his demeanor. Respect was always a given until someone gave a reason to not deserve it, but being so open and nice seemed a gift that ought to be reserved for few others. Maybe this was just how wolves of different cultures were? Her head tilted to the side as she continued to examine him, though she was wary of coming across as overly interested. Nosiness wasn't a good look on anyone.
"Interesting," Seiko mused softly. For a moment the young wolf found herself wondering just how inheriting those traits worked - might his children have wings, too? - but she let the thought go as quickly as it arrived, filing it away to ask someone wiser later.
She certainly hadn't expected a gift, especially not one so personal. She felt a sort of embarrassed heat rise to her cheeks, though it was covered by the splotchy dark markings around her face. "Thank you," she replied, carefully tucking the feather near her paw, ensuring it would make it back home safely with her. Though she wasn't exactly sure how she felt about the unprompted gesture, it did seem quite respectful and she wouldn't dare diminish the importance of that - she just wished she had something of her own to give him in exchange.
He explained further that the Armada was far, far north from these lands. His question did give her pause though. How much information was she to divulge? She knew most of the packs in these lands were at least aware of Tojo-Kai's existence, if little else. "My home is the bamboo maze, on Auster's southern coast." Maybe he knew of Tojo-Kai's existence? She'd wait and see.

Their companion - a female tabby cat with antlers, named Herajika - is often hanging around.
