Our Future within the Young Eyes

It wasn't long before Novel joined her, and as always she basked in her familiar company. It was easy to notice how at ease Novel seemed here, as enthralled by the lovely willow trees as she herself was - the easy, quiet atmosphere of Lirim was valuable to the aging couple and she found herself smiling as she watched the children funnel in. The two of them had always had a soft spot for children, and to be in the presence of so many once again made her heart feel lighter. Her mood lightened further when Novel spoke up, noting the confidence that she'd once lacked now seeming to appear in her old age. It was funny, how time softened those traits, noting that she herself was rarely as inhibited as she'd once been. Her days were too short to spend worrying about what others thought of her, or her... wife. Mate. Whatever they could be considered now. Labels mattered less to her now then they once had, and she wouldn't dwell on it for long.

Her smile widened as Frostbite introduced his children, her tail wagging gently behind her. Torin was the next to speak, a man she'd spoken with briefly already. Her eyes were locked on him patiently as he spoke, introduction himself and offering guidance to members of Lirim and inviting them to speak with her or Frostbite if needed. The warm atmosphere was appreciated, and she relaxed against Novel, leaning against her instinctively. Much of what was spoken of didn't involve her, or Novel - regular things like demotions and promotions, which didn't interest her personally. She would contribute as best as she could, with no interest in climbing ranks. Save that sort of aspiration for the younger folk, she thought. Ara was quiet as she waited for the others to speak up, finding no need to include her voice, happily quiet and observant.
