The warmth was immediate, but not overwhelming, and she stepped forward to push some kindling around to make sure the fire grew larger and larger. It was fairly quick work, but she'd be keeping an eye on it to make sure it stayed sizable enough to attract attention to their little party.
"You made this into a gathering instead of just a big fire. I definitely didn't do all of the work, so thank you for your contributions. They were just as important, if not even more important, than me lugging around piles of wood." she said, eyes crinkling up just a bit at the edges, a rare softness to her tone.
Her eyes moved around the area, scoping out the things that he'd set out. It definitely looked a lot more like something social than she'd probably be able to set up on her own. She still wasn't exactly sure about things that others tended to enjoy in their free time, always caught up in her head with the things she liked. She seemed to lack common interest with many others, most of them craving things that were fun over things that were practical. She wondered if she'd ever really get it, and somehow doubted it. Oh, well. It wasn't as if she were missing out on much. It seemed she were making friends either way.
Turning her head toward the dog at her side, she paused for a small moment before letting another smile through. She lightly placed her paw against Leroy's shoulder, careful not to upset his injuries, before moving it away from him and motioning to their surroundings. "Go enjoy the festivities, and get others involved. Don't worry about managing everything. I'll make sure the flame stays alight. I've never been much for partying, but... Somehow, I get the impression you'd enjoy it."
