Sometime after she had drug her head out of the water and returned to playing, jumping around and chasing the birds. Something about stirring them up and watching them take flight in a flurry of feathers around her was exciting. And it brought attention to her, although that was the purpose she had intended for it all. It was just harmless fun to her really.

So when someone had come to her and called out to her she was excited to see a friendly face, even if it was an unknown one. "Oh, hello there!" the wolf calls out and Belle stumbles to a clumsy stop. "Hello!" she replies without any hesitation at all and bounds up to the snowy white female just after startling the birds one last time with a few playful barks as she ran through them.

She maintains some distance between her and the female just as the birds begin settle back down. Their happy sounds filling the air once again, some splashing back down in the shallow pools to clean themselves. "I'm Sway, what's your name?" she inquires and Belle offers a bright smile before answering. "I'm Belle." she says as she fidgets in place for a moment. Tail twitching behind her.

Then unable to stand still for much longer, she begins to hop around in front of the other girl. "Are you from Asteraia, do you know where my family is?" she says almost excitedly. But then she shakes her head silently answering her own questions, hardly giving Sway much time to respond. "Of course not, you smell nothing of there. That places smells so grouchy now. That's why I came here." she stands almost almost proudly for just a moment, but hunches her back and tucks her tail upon talking of her old home.
