Coming back around again

She knew she was being ridiculous even as she explained what her hesitation with coming back to The Hallows was, but as Mercury pointed out the real situation that had led her to his pack in the first place she felt even more silly for ever feeling embarrassed for asking Artorias for a second chance. She felt more sure of herself this time and felt like she had more of a reason than just circumstance now with Mercury at her side to be in The Hallows. He knew Art much better than she did so if he was confident that Art would be understanding about it all then so would she. "You're right," she agreed with a more confident smile, relaxing with his reassurances. She was still nervous about the prospect of attempting to settle back into pack life yet again, but she was willing to give it a shot and make an honest effort to really make it her home.

With how he had asked her if she still needed time on her own she had assumed that he had wanted her to come back to The Hallows with him, but as he easily reassured her only concern she suddenly felt a nervous energy from him. Was that not what he wanted? As he tucked his head into her scruff, she slipped her forelegs around his neck with a little frown, her ears flicking uncertainly as she held onto him gently. She didn't know if there was more she didn't know, but she only wanted this if he did as well. "I don't mind giving it more time if now isn't the right time," she insisted as she rubbed lightly along the back of his neck. "If you need to talk to Art or sort out some things first or... I'm willing to give The Hallows another shot, but only if you want me there."
