Settling In

SHIBA KLEIN

She was in luck, as it seemed she’d come at just the right time to catch her niece as she was waking up. She smiled, walking over and sitting near the young Klein woman. "I’ve taken some time to get settled in, and I realized I never spoke to you about my place here. I was hoping you had a moment to talk, but I can come back later if you’re busy." When she had found Recluse, she’d been focused on finding her family and getting home, so wrapped up in all of that, the thought that Recluse didn’t know her or her skillset had fallen to the back of her mind.

She was sorry she’d missed out on watching the newer generation grow, and had lost the chance to know them when they were young. That would be different going forward, and she was more determined now than ever before to prove herself and to earn a place in the lives of her family again. She wanted to be someone they could rely on, and she far she’d done a crappy job of that.
