As usual, her favorite food giver spoke her name and babbled some nonsense to her in words she didn't understand. The teal theropod figured out that the food giver's speech probably was how the mammal pack communicated; she'd heard many of the other members of the mammal pack talking with similar sounds and inflections to their voice. They were clearly a different pack, even if as individuals they were often much weaker than even one of her sisters. Yet, even as she realized this, most of the mammals seemed content to leave the raptors alone or give them a wide berth - which suited her just fine.
But Bast liked to talk to her, even though she understood very little besides food and her own name. Usually, this talking resulted in treats of reasonably fresh carrion. So, she could tell that he was trying to get her to do something here; she narrowed her dark eyes, glancing between him and the stones he pointed at. His weird chittering noises only seemed to confuse her, as she tilted her head at him and gave him an annoyed snort in response. Still, she understood that he had food to give; with his weird summoning powers, she knew she needed to solve the puzzle rather than kill or steal it from him.
Her gaze turned to the seven stones, her long and muscular tail lashing behind her. Chuffing, she lowered her head to the ground slowly; her nostrils flared as she smelled the stones. As far as she could tell, the stones seemed the same as every other stone. And what was she supposed to do with them? Shifting on her feet, she remembered that Bast touched a few of the stones as he talked. Perhaps he wanted her to mimic him? Remembering the last stone he touched, she pushed that one with her snoot to roll back towards Bast. "Food?" she babbled back at him, curious whether she solved the puzzle correctly.
