Synys had followed along the rest of them as they transferred from ship to the smaller boat and from there to port.  She still remains silent, since she has nothing to say.  Besides, it was always interesting to listen to other people talking; you learn a lot from listening.  Dusk had remained on the ship after absolutely refusing to even try getting on the longboat.  She had had enough trouble on the Swiftwind to care getting on the crowded smaller craft.  Synys hadn't objected, knowing the creature had another way to join them.<br/><br/>Climbing out of the boat, Synys glances around to take it their surrounding before the two newcomers catch her eye.  Specifically, Ryla.  Her eyes stick to the other kitsune and she doesn't even think to try hiding her potentially uncomfortable gaze.  She hasn't seen another of her own kind in...she doesn't even know how long.  Though, Ryla's more humanoid appearance does surprise her a little, it's unmistakable that she's kitsune.  Subconsciously, her mind starts running through the differences and similarities between the two as she notices them.  First to Synys' atention were the nine silvery tails so obviously swaying behind Ryla, compared to her own two.  Still not knowing exactly how to earn the additional seven she finds herself considering the teachings that only more powerful kitsune earn more, and wonders how powerful a creature they're dealing with.  She also notices how smooth and slick the fur on every tail is.  It's not too hard to determine that she has been in the city for some time, giving her the time to properly groom her tails.  Synys hasn't had that desire or luxury, letting her fur take on a more rugged look.  Her fur is still clean and smooth, but sticks out in small patches like a minor bad-hair day.  Next, her attention is drawn to the other woman's dress and what she's saying about how she can help.  Perhaps this vixen is not far from what her own line of work had been in the past.  And then the final major difference: Ryla's voice.  It sounds like it belongs in song with its natural smooth melody; a voice that can command quiet attention without effort.  On the other hand, Synys' voice, while keeping her race's supernaturally soothing voice, does not carry nearly as much power as Ryla's.  She continues to remain silent, however, keeping the latter part of her last observation from the other kitsune's attention.<br/><br/>It's at that point that Dusk coalesces to Synys' left, fading into reality from nothing, and glances about.
