Nikkal nodded her monotone face almost absently as her niece explained how long she had been here, it lined up with when the flood destroyed their home. A flash of subtle interest raced across Nikkal's face as Sorine mentioned her sister and her heart felt a little more full with the news. "So Adhira is here. Good. Once I find my brother, we will come join her." Nikkal stated, her blue and green eyes burning with determination. She made no indication of whether or not she was happy to hear that her other nieces were here as well. Nikkal had no idea where their loyalties lay in the months prior to the flood but she sure as hell would sniff it out when Adhira took her rightful place as Queen. This time Nikkal would not tolerate any doubt in the Old Ways and she was sure her sister would feel the same.
The older Amanta masked the disappointment and kept her face neutral when her niece told her she had not paid more attention to the strange night sky phenomenon. Though the black and storm woman nodded when Sorine said she thought the nights were stretching longer and longer. "I have. I have a feeling that something is about to happen. The air just.... feels off." she replied, a subtle growl lacing her words as her dark hackles rose between her shoulders and up her neck. Her glaring dual colored eyes took a slow scan of their surroundings, half expecting to find some monster glowering at them, waiting for them to lower their guard. The woman then gracefully shook out her pelt and lowered her hackles and turned her attention back fully on Sorine.
"Come, I caught a second fish just before you arrived. Achilleus still hasn't caught up so you can have it." she said. While she was distant and slightly cold to her family, she was not a monster and she would share a meal or help shelter those who were loyal to the Amanta. Nikkal turned to point out the fish and a snarl thundered from her chest as she took a step back. The fish she had caught a moment ago was glowing like the moon itself with small blueish white glowing mushrooms sprouting around it. "It was not glowing when I caught it." she growled, her muzzle wrinkling and showed the bottom part of her fangs. Quickly, she glanced herself over but she was still the same as she was before and her stomach felt fine with no trace of feeling like the beginnings of poison.
