You Take What Is Yours And I'll Take Mine

Relm seemed... entirely different than Manea. Relm could wash away her anxious emotions, but definitely was more odd than not. Manea on the other hand seemed more sturdy and confident, at least through the emotions she showed her. Relm could hold up physically of course and really mentally too. It was just these smaller interactions with others, those that weren't Kichi or Alastor or like the conversation she was having with Manea now that just set her off balance. They may have never really communicated the best together because Relm did communicate as Alastor knew, physically and emotionally and more so when she was comfortable. She would have to get over it here to get Manea to understand just how important staying here with the ones she cared about was to her.

Relm wasn't surprised when Manea apologized, just somewhere around that sense. They were back walking up the mountain trail but Relm had a hard time looking directly at Manea even if it was just the side of her face. That was typical of her. Still she managed some kind of awkward smile as she responded, "I know I'm not... easy. But I appreciate it." Easy to talk to, easy to get to know, easy to be around. Everything. She wasn't easy, not like this. Relm couldn't know what Alastor had told Manea about her past, but really none of that mattered to her. Things were tough growing up but could have been much worse. More so recently had it been the hardest but with her father dead she felt like she could finally move on. She didn't really know how or where, but at least she could breathe again.

Relm wasn't fluent with the ways of any relationship, and she may have been a little naive to think just how better her's and Manea's was from the way they walked together. It may have been true, or at least to some extent. She at least wouldn't jump up tomorrow morning and be right in Manea's face ready to frolic through the flowers or anything. She was sure the struggles would still come and go, but she would still do everything she could to live beside Alastor and Kichi until she couldn't anymore.
