A New World

Acere would explain, though Heloise's eyes drifted over the girl and not to him for once. once everyone was done speaking, she would pause for a moment before walking up to the girl. there was no hesitation as she dipped her nose to rest upon the crown of Altair's head. "then that means you are my kin too" the alabaster woman said simply, a happy smile crossing her features as she removed her affectionate gesture. she shot her mate a look of joy. she knew he had family, but they were nieces and nephews. none to call her own.

but with Altair... she could call her daughter. she could be someone to help and hold. Acere was providing family to someone who had long had her own taken from her. not just the girl, but Heloise as well. she was proud of her mate for his actions, but loved him for his simple little gestures like this. "yes, I would like that very much, Altair" her voice thick with emotion she didn't bother to hide. Heloise only knew her ambition to be a leader, and she understood that well. she only abandoned her ambition to lead once her mate accepted her.
