In other words

Roza gave her niece a warm smile when the youth told her that her "skills" weren't less helpful. She had never really considered them less helpful than others until she began to experience the life of a loaner. Being a strong leader was only helpful if you had wolves to lead. She was able to hunt for herself fairly well so at the very least she wouldn't starve, but if it came to it she wasn't sure she would be able to protect herself or take care of herself if she was sick. She had been lucky to have Ulric around for the last year or two. Her son had been incredibly kind with sticking with her to make sure she was cared for. It did make a twinge of guilt pang in her gut from time to time to think that he had given up life here just so he could be with her when she decided to leave for a while. All she could hope was that he would be able to enjoy some time to himself and grow on his own now that they were living with Philomena and her children again... as long as he didn't feel the need to be the caretaker for all of them in the end. Being a strong leader was only helpful if you had wolves to lead.

She nodded in understanding while Elizabeth explained that her father had more or less forced her into being a healer. She was happy to hear that the young woman enjoyed the profession either way, but it did make her wonder what her niece would have gravitated toward learning if that hadn't been the case. She had never felt any pressure from her father to learn one thing or another, but he had been an incredibly laid back wolf. He only ever really cared if she - and everyone in his pack for that matter - were happy and healthy. She looked around the garden again with another small nod when she heard that the focus today was on practicing her skills of navigation. "It certainly does. It's one of those places that makes me wonder how it even came to be, you know? There's a lot of places around Auster and Boreas that make me wonder that." Things that were left from a time long forgotten with history they would never really know - it made her curious and imaginative as she tried to decipher them, but at the end of the day fell to the way side behind the other pressing matters in her life.

"Well, I'll leave you to your exploring," she said as she paused and turned to face Elizabeth again, giving her niece a loving smile. She knew they had only just met one another, but it didn't matter. She was a piece of their family's scattered puzzle and that was enough for her to feel a warm connection with the young healer. "I better get back before Ulric comes looking for me. Come find us if you're ever in Auster again! Maybe I'll see you when we go to visit Valhalla, hm?" The older woman chuckled softly and leaned forward to gently press her nose to her niece's cheek "Stay safe, I'm here if you ever need me."
