Large ears swivelled around as the call of a meeting rose, a look of confusion touching her features for a brief moment. She was sure it had yet to be a week and it seemed most had structured their meetings as such, but rather than question Jericho's actions, for he had shown himself a capable leader thus far, she merely rose upon unsteady legs.
The first steps were the hardest, trying to bring her down but Ishayu merely continued, forcing her body to move, still adjusting to the fact she was much smaller than she had once been. Uneven, and somewhat uncertain, was the tread which she took up for the lack of a limb was familiar to her but not to this degree, a grumble of annoyance parting her lips. It had been a hassle to learn to walk without trouble the first time and now it seemed she would have to repeat the process.
A faint smile curled her lips as her gaze settled upon first Stella and then Jericho, the only faces she recognised from the group, yet it grew stiff and unsure as her name left the Helion's lips. She had been here for less than a week and had done little for the group, thinking to leave within the next month once she had grown accustomed to this body, the only thing keeping her here the forge she had slowly been making, and possibly a few here she had come to like.
“I...uh, fuck,” the word slipped past her lips before Ishayu had the chance to realise exactly what it was she was saying, surprise crossing her features before she quickly forced a smile, pretending as though she had not just cursed for the first time in a few years. “Thank you Jericho.” Strained was her voice now as she struggled to find the right response. It was only a small thing, a stepping stone if anything, but she felt a swell of pride. Never had another trusted her within any position of authority and she had no wish to disappoint Jericho when he had been so kind to allow her to stay, a stranger who might have posed a threat.
“Congratulations,” calling out once all had been said she offered Stella a larger smile than the first, teeth shown this time and her maroon toned eyes reflected the joy within the gesture for once, before she sought the others who had been called, specifically Pele for she had come to rather like the child.
