She wasn't offended at all by the girls question, it only made her grin at her and nod her head up and down. "I promise I am! Maybe if you listen close enough you can hear my joints squeaking," she said with a giggle. It was nice to see that the little one was so inviting, it wasn't often that she met other wolves her size! But then she said that she didn't want to be small, everyone was bigger than her and she was at the point where she should be done growing. "Being small isn't all that bad. We can snuggle up to the big wolves to steal their heat, and we are really fast! No one thinks we are good fighters but we are far too quick for the big, heavy wolves. Dodging moves is easy, you can pounce, bite, and then get right out!" At least that's what Athena told her, Amalia hated fighting herself. "You shouldn't be sad about being small, that's just who you are! I bet they all still love you for it. Height shouldn't matter, it's all inside that counts," she said softly, leaning to touch her nose to her heart.
She said that she was Charm Ancora, which made her ears perk. Who was it that had that last name? She couldn't put her paw on it before the girl went on, saying that her dad passed away. Letting out a soft whimper, she tried to comfort the girl with a soft lick to the top of her head. "I am so sorry to hear that Charm, it can be very hard..." She didn't know her own father too well, he vanished before they had grown up much. The darker marked girl went on to talk about Aunty Athena, which made her perk right back up. "Oh! You are Avalon's little girl! Athena is my mate, which makes me your auntie too!" Amalia's little rabbit tail patted on the cold ground behind her, a big smile on her maw. It didn't stop when she said that there were no healers in Ivalice, and she took it all in stride. "I bet if we talk to your momma I could come up here for a few lessons. I am the head healer back in Fiori, and I would just love to show you the ropes," There was obvious excitement in her voice, all the aspiring healers in Fiori were rather quiet. Maybe she needed to drag their butts up here and teach them all.
