Settling In

Despite herself Recluse couldn't help but smile as her aunt gave her an answer, she shook her head. "No this if a fine time." She chuckled softly. "In truth I was hoping to talk to you about this as well, but your initiative to seek me out is very much appreciated."

Her expression drew darker for a moment. "I hope you'll forvige my callousness, but I have not had much reason to put faith into our family. The last thing I want is for Habari to become the new locale for my blood to wax poetic about our empire while sitting back on their laurels. Many of your siblings seem particularly guilty of that." The woman sighed settling onto her haunches and glancing down at her swollen abdomen, her children would learn they would not be allowed to coast, they were born into privilege, yes, but they would not grow fat on it.

When her gaze returned to her aunt her expression was softer again, business but not cold. "So yes, your initiative is well noted." The woman leaned back slightly."Please, tell me where you feel your strenghts lie... or where you wish to grow."
