---> I'm NOT with stupid (vaguely points to hanako)

She was eagerly gathered into Basilisk's arms, which elicited a giggle as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek while they were introduced. She was about to remind Citadel to keep his paws to himself but Bas took care of it.

Ignita couldn't help but smile as Makara elaborated on her journey! When all was said and done, she waited patiently for Makara to finish, Ignita reached out a golden paw to lift her sister-in-law's booted one. Her golden eyes gleamed with joy and warmth. She had been trying to ignore the strange red sky since they got back, but she could see the hue still marks everything in its light.

"Welcome home Makara. You must be so tired! Let's get you a nice place to sleep! We can check to see if your old den is occupied or we can get you a new one!" She exclaimed.

She peeled herself from Bas's embrace, but not without a sweet kiss over his lips, and beckoned Makara to the storage den.

"Your goggles are delightful! Very protective!" She said as she led them, "I just use mine to stay focused on what I'm doing, do yours have lenses in them? I love the spikes!" It was her turn to babble on, " And the boots! Are they still comfortable? You must have worn them the whole time! Do you need a fresh set? I can fix up any tears or worn spots for you! Or make you a new pair! -Here we are!" She was absolutely enthralled with the idea of helping her out, and wondering how she got her goggles! Did they make them here in the forge, did they make the lenses here? Did they find them? It was all so fascinating! And meeting one of Basilisk's Siblings! And one less cranky than Levi!

Ignita gestured to "her" shelves, "Why don't you pick out your favorite furs, and we can set them aside for when you've picked your den. No rush. - Selene, you put one more paw on that shelf and you'll be reorganizing it. - Hopefully, when Bal and Jamie are doing better you can meet them too! Kids! I swear we all got a cold after we returned from the Hallows!" She mused. She was... trying her best to be the image of grace her station required, but inside she wanted to jump on her toes and dash around as fast as Selene was with excitement! She could hardly sit still in her own way!
