Balls of steel, what an excellent way to put it. Nirvana didn't care for the trappings of politics, or really any other trappings at all. Freedom... tightly clutched to her breast. It wasn't much, but it was all she had. No, that wasn't quite true. She had her freedom, she had her name, she had her mother's blood as it ran through her veins. It was enough. She had the drive. That was enough too. Confident in who she is, and who she's going to be. The girl, shit nearly a woman now, could rest on her confidence and sense of self. There was no need to impress anyone. Sleep had come easier here than it had anywhere else. Just over the boundary of packlands, she could be confident that she was safe here. It was a promise that came really nowhere else. The nap was restful, and her batteries were allowed to recharge in the sunlight. Damn, some kind of plant or something. Nirvana could be pleased with that. She didn't catch Alastor's scent on the wind, or hear his steps-- he'd been a silent predator. But her eyes peeled open to his voice, ultraviolet gaze dancing across his face. It had been a long time since they'd seen each other, but it was true they were family all the same. Nirvana climbed to her feet in a singular, fluid motion. A rakish grin drew across her face as she stretched the sleep from her muscles. "Maybe not, but it worked out this time." The girl's gaze glimmered with mischief, maybe a bit of a contrarian streak. A girl can have her follies, after all. "Uncle Alastor, how could I forget? It seems that congratulations are in order," she gestured broadly with her muzzle. There was comfort in him appearing as he did, here. Though he hadn't been a part of her life long before she departed, he was important to Manea. To see that he'd made it through the long night in one piece... it was good. Her beloved aunt couldn't be too worse for wear either, if she'd taken the lead of a pack. She settles to a comfortable seat by his side in the shade, glad to be in the company of family at long last. |
