Satu couldn't stop her tail from wagging or the grin that kept breaking free. Novella's enthusiasm was really refreshing after so long, and talking with her, it felt like Satu was finally finding her equilibrium again. The news of her finding Song didn't really spark more than polite interest - Satu hadn't really been close to her older cousin, what with her being raised the way she was - but Novella's excitement was contagious.
"That's great, Novella! An aunt, that's great! You'll have to tell me all about them!" Just as long as no one tried to get her to babysit them, that is. Though it might be nice to have such an enthusiastic audience again... It didn't really surprise her that Song was a higher-ranking wolf. She'd been groomed for leadership long enough that no matter how much she rebelled, it would probably always be part of her personality. It was only surprising that she wasn't alpha yet. "How is Song, then? And the rest of the family? Maybe I should come visit them some time." She grinned happily at Novella, delighted - and guilty - once again by the very fact that she could go visit where ever and whenever she wanted. Free as a bird, Satu was.
Though it would be nice to have someone to go home to.
