"Oh?" Jo'rashaad said curiously, while S'ajira perked up her ears to show her interest. "Jo'rashaad does not think he has heard this story. Was it during that ambush outside of Senchal, or some other time?"

Ahnasha smiled at Leaps. Even if the situation they had been in had not been a particularly pleasant one, it had at least shown a glimpse of what Leaps might be able to do in the future. Not to mention, it demonstrated quite clearly that Leaps' mind did hold some connection to the pack. Wamasu were not domestic creatures, so Leaps was tamed at best. For all the time they had been raising him, there had always been the question of how safe it would be to be around him as he aged. "This was before we arrived in Elsweyr. Just north of the Imperial City, on the shores of Lake Rumare. Some of us went down to the lake for a swim, but evidently, there had been some bandits tracking us. We outnumbered them, but with us split up and distracted, they took their chances. Well, Leaps noticed. I stayed back at camp and wasn't by the shore, so I don't know [i]exactly[/i] what happened."

By her expression, Ma'tanza was genuinely surprised with Tzirret's gift. It was simple, clever, and surprisingly meaningful. Ma'tanza was actually rather touched by the fact that Tzirret was giving her a gift not as a show of his own affection, but to help serve as a reminder of her own family. It was not a "selfish" gift in any sense. 

Clutching both her and S'nishi's pieces in her hand, she quickly gave Tzirret another hug. "Thank you, Tzirret. This is very thoughtful." She said before putting her piece around her neck, wearing it as an amulet. Turning to S'nishi, she glanced down to the other piece contemplatively. S'nishi was not wearing anything at the moment, so it could not actually be tied to her. "Hmm...we can probably make this one into an amulet too. We just need a bigger cord, or we can tie it to your armor once you get that on."

M'ibasa put on his piece as soon as it was handed to him, though after a few seconds, S'nishi gave him a quick, stern look, which he immediately understood. "Oh, thank you." He said, with only a slight hint of reluctance.
