Manea was always curious to see her family's reaction to the news of her children when they found out for the first time about the twins. There had been a bit of mixed feelings or distrust at first from some until they actually saw the twins and saw their glowing markings that they shared. She understood the disbelief and the criticism she opened herself up to in making the call on her own as the Matriarch for the validity of her twins in fact being twins, but it was incredibly hard to deny once they were actually presented with the evidence and any concerns had been quelled pretty quickly. Larisa luckily didn't say anything of the sort and Manea smiled softly as she spoke of how she was looking forward to seeing them as well as the others. She was even more pleased when Larisa easily agreed to the idea of leaving the past in the past, though they both new only actions could truly back up those words.
As the attention was turned to the quickly approaching move Manea nodded in agreement to the offer of help. "Of course," she agreed easily, smiling a bit more easily. "I'll take all the help I can get when it comes to this move. I'm hoping to start heading out in a few days, but it will depend on how quickly we prepare. The hunting was pretty scarce for a bit because of a strange illness that a lot of the animals around here had contracted, but it's since cleared out so I've been working on replenishing our store of cured meats for the trip." She gave a nod toward the campsite she had walked away from and beckoned Larisa to follow, bringing her over to the cart they had been using to transport most of their supplies. There were a few bags that some of them had been carrying separately with smaller items like basic herbs and the like, but the furs, meats, and larger items they had collected along the way all went onto this cart. "Any help you can give with hunting or gathering food items would be appreciated. Or perhaps if you have a better way or organize this stuff to make it a bit easier to travel with... I'm all ears."
