Uncomplicated was a good word for their friendship. For Kiela, though, everything is largely uncomplicated. She's perpetually chosen a simple life and she knows she'll keep choosing it, no matter what. She nodded in agreement to his words, glad that they came together more often than not, and glad that if Víðarr wanted to find her she wasn't a difficult one to search down. She let out a small laugh as he moved to look at her formerly-sprained paw. His concern was strangely endearing, and appreciated. Knowing there's someone out there who'd worry for her is comforting in a way that surprises her. Not that she'd ever take advantage of that care even if she needed to, but knowing it's there is enough for her. His question was surprising, and she fell silent for a long moment. As a free spirit, joining anyone in a more permanent way hasn't been something she's considered since she was a child. She trusted her friend to not ask her anything outside of what she could promise him though; he knew she was independent and knew she would never follow anyone blindly. But loyalty she could offer, within reason. "Of course I'll join you," she said finally. "As long as you understand the freedom I need, to tend to my herd," Kiela explained softly. She didn't doubt that Víðarr knew that but she wanted to reiterate it. Her loyalty to the herd would always come before anything else, though she had no reason to believe the two things couldn't coexist very happily, even productively. |
