It seemed that her wish would be true as Song emerged from the den alone. Novella would have expected to see the children rush out to greet her as well had they been present, and even Cherokee would have said hello. As much as she may have been intruding on Song's moment of peace and quiet, for Novella personally, she couldn't have arrived at a better time. Returning the nuzzle in greeting, it was only as Song questioned her that she realised she hadn't exactly prepared herself. She had no idea really what to say.
"That's ok I just wanted to see you actually." Song's statement about the children not being present certainly allowed Novella to find a place to start though with the easy bit out of the way it was time to start explaining and asking questions of her own. "Mum taught you how to fight, right?" Almost straight to the point, it was actually going better than she expected. "Well she didn't teach the rest of us and with everything that's happening I thought maybe I should learn something. I was wondering if you'd help me?" She hoped she said yes. She hadn't actually prepared any alternative for if she said no.
