Ara had never really been one to share her feelings so openly, though Novel was an obvious exception to that rule. But even with her, their feelings had always been implied - their relationship had developed naturally, almost as though there had been no other possible conclusion. The familiarity of it all was something she'd always found comfort in, but after Novel had been gone for so long she couldn't fight the urge to discuss certain things now, even if she knew it might be easier to say nothing at all. Perhaps the subject might be a heavy one, but she wasn't sure they could continue on together without properly addressing their time spent apart.

"I don't blame you for wanting to stay. I'm sure it was lovely seeing your mother again." And the rest of the Destructions that had left these lands behind, surely they had returned to Ahlon too to live out the rest of their days. Gently she lowered herself to her stomach, and pressed her nose to Novel's cheek. "I do have a question. If you don't want to answer, I understand." There was an obvious hesitation in her voice as she spoke, trying to figure out how to say what she was wondering. "When we were apart, were there... any others?" Would she get what she was implying? In their younger years it would've been impossible to imagine Novel being with another woman, but time had clearly changed the both of them, so she wasn't sure now. "I'm only wondering," she assured her after a moment. Truly, she wouldn't be upset, but she wanted to know. The truth was that she hoped Novel had been happy, no matter what she had been doing - that was all she'd ever wanted.
