As Elizabeth filled her in on Heather’s fate, the names of her siblings, what brought them here, and more Roza remained quiet and attentive. She was honestly happy to sit and listen while the young woman filled her in on pieces of her life. There was so much that she didn’t know about her niece yet and she was thrilled to get the chance to know her. She just wished that she had gotten a chance to see Heather again before it was all said and done.
”I’ll definitely have to keep an eye out for her then - and your other siblings too.” She gave her niece a warm smile, adding, ”Thank you for seeking me out. It’s not news I want to hear, but I’m happy to know that she was loved and had such wonderful children... You say this must be hard for me, but I can’t begin to imagine how it has been for all of you.” She was familiar with what loss felt like and it certainly wasn’t a feeling that she wished on anyone. It was something they all had to face eventually, but to have to experience it so young was hard to imagine.
She looked at the solid white woman thoughtfully for a moment before she spoke again. ”You know, I’m sure you do look like your father, but you take after the Adravendi side of our bloodline quite a bit too. Mine and Heather’s grandmother was almost completely white with just little bit of a russet color on her paw and ear. Plus, blue eyes are a staple in our family. Heather actually took more after your grandmother. You and I are more similar to my father and grandmother.” She wasn’t sure what all Heather had covered in her story telling, but Roza was happy to fill in any gaps that may have been left and to offer Elizabeth any connections she might desire to know.
”Oh! By the way, my two children, Ulric and Philomena, are not too far from here. I’ve been staying here with them in Auster for a little bit now. Philomena has two daughters here as well, Nausicaa and Memento. If you ever want to stay with us please don’t hesitate to find us.” She paused, feeling like she was the one rambling on a bit now, but she was truly enjoying getting to talk with family again. ”If you or any of your siblings ever need anything at all - please let me know. If there’s anything I can do I want to be here for you.”
