Finding the way back

As she relaxed and just let her mind go blank with the sound of the water lightly lapping at the shore, she completely missed the presence of someone behind her until she heard someone ask about her being gloomy. The voice surprised her and made her jump slightly with a quiet gasp, turning her head to see Cerberus standing behind her with a slight grin on his lips. She sighed from the unexpected surprise and chuckled quietly as she gave him a soft smile in return and let herself settle again. "I suppose you could say that," she agreed, nodding to the spot on the rock beside her with a silent invitation to join her if he wished. She wasn't sure how she felt about socializing with anyone outside of her direct relatives just yet, but she had to start slowly returning to normal somehow so this felt like a good enough way to start.

Despite how long Cerberus and his siblings had been living in Elysium, she had very little experience or contact with Cerberus himself. They simply had not crossed paths much outside of the general passing of shifts for patrols and the like before she separated from Albion and since then she had mostly been avoiding the group of Kleins. It was certainly nothing against Cerberus by any means, she just wasn't sure what the best way to handle this kind of social interaction was. "How have you been?" An attempt at small talk, at least, since it would do her some good to focus on someone other than herself and she did always want to make sure that everyone in the pack was doing well regardless of her own situation.
