Coming Home

Manea was quick to give a dismissive shake of her head as Nirvana spoke of her regret for being away too long and how she hadn't felt that she was ready when she had come around Elysium the first time. There was no hard feelings or concerns from Manea's side of things for the absence her niece had taken. It certainly wasn't uncommon for the younger wolves of their family to strike out on their own to find their place in the world, even if it seemed that tradition might fade away now that they had a permanent residence here in Elysium. She was more than happy to give Nirvana whatever space she felt like she needed until she decided she was ready to rejoin their family. Luckily, it seemed like that day was today. Nirvana spoke of how she felt that she was ready now, ready to grow with their family, and Manea's grin grew more proud as she went on. Nirvana really had grown up from the young girl that she had raised and in a way that made her wistful, but at the same time she was proud of her the same way she was proud to see her own children grow and come into their own.

"Of course I will," she replied with a chuckle when Nirvana asked if she'd have her. "That's should never be a a question in your mind, dear." She nodded for Nirvana to follow, bringing the pale woman across the border and into the pack lands proper as she started to lead her around the edge of the lake and toward the path that would bring them to the island on the other side. As they walked she looked to Nirvana, asking, "Did your travels bring you anywhere interesting? Or to anyone interesting?" She had to imagine if Nirvana found anyone worthy of capturing her attention then she would have brought them with her, but she didn't know if perhaps her potential mate would be waiting for her to let them know it was a good time for them to follow her into Elysium. There was certainly no pressure from her to find a good match—after all, it was far better to take her time than settle. Still, Manea wanted to get up to speed on her niece's life.
