You Take What Is Yours And I'll Take Mine

Manea smiled softly as Relm took her apology and the two of them fell into an easy silence—or at least easier than it had ever been for the two of them. Knowing what she knew now about Relm's past she felt like she could understand Relm better or could give her more leeway when it came to her behavior. In the same way she understood that Alastor was just Alastor and he would forever just act the way that he did, Relm was just Relm. She valued Alastor's opinion more than anyone else's and if Relm truly meant something to him then Manea would find a way to make this work. The longer she was with the younger woman the more she was beginning to recognize how harsh she had been on her at first and even if they would never be the best of friends she was still pleased that they were civil. Relm's loyalty to her still baffled her a bit, but she decided not to question it. She just needed to take these small victories where she could find them.

Finally they reached the cave and she went over to the lounge area of plush furs just inside the entrance and laid down with a relieved sigh. She was going to be so grateful when this portion of her pregnancy was finally over and she wasn't so utterly exhausted all of the time. She just kept reminding herself how it would all be worth it when their new son or daughter joined their family. She looked up at Relm with a small smile. "Thank you for walking with me. Perhaps once these little darlings are no longer behaving like parasites I'll take you up on your offer of a hunt." There was plenty of prey in the mountain range on the island that made for very fun hunts and she was oh so eager to get back to that as soon as her body allowed. She paused for just a moment, studying the younger wolf as she considered something, but ultimately pushed the thought to the side. She didn't want to move too far too fast just incase this momentary peace between them was still fragile enough to be broken. "Have a good evening, Relm," she said as she settled her head on her paws to rest for a while.
