Amaterasu was a goddess, but she was neither all-knowing nor all-powerful. She could be fooled by illusions as easily as anyone else. But there was no one she wanted to see, apart from Issun, and it would have to take a powerful illusion indeed to make Xion seem like the tiny bug that Issun was. And Amaterasu didn't want to see him that badly. Xion appeared as she did to most others: a teenage girl who smelled of soap, with a whiff of something darker beneath it

Well, that was always a good way to start a conversation. Amaterasu grinned at the compliment, pulling herself forward enough to lay her head on Xion's leg, right above her knee. Surely the girl could admire her better from here - or give her a scratch if she was so inclined. Amaterasu wasn't really that vain, but she knew that she often had to make the first move. It was rare to find a person who was completely comfortable around a wolf straight from the start - she wondered if it would make people easier or warier when they knew she could talk, marking her as no ordinary wolf.

Xion, however, seemed pretty relaxed right now, and Amaterasu exhaled softly, letting the tension go out of her muscles. Despite that bit of...something in the girl's scent, Ammy decided there wasn't anything for her to be wary of either.
