Here We Are

Walk | Talk | Think

Tahlia said nothing as Loccian excused herself but continued to watch the grey woman as she padded out of sight, internally fretting over the boy who was not present. Was the healer right? Had he injured himself and was attempting to keep it from her? She hoped it was true that any injury he had was miniscule and easily fixed. He might not have been her own flesh and blood but he was still under her care and her protection, and naturally she felt responsible for him and anything that should happen to him inside the pack. Hopefully it is nothing serious, she worried, letting her attention turn first upon her pups and then upon the company she only just noticed had arrived.

"Destruction," she said, a little touch of surprise in her voice though a pleasantness all the same. Of all those within the pack, the dark colored woman had been one of the most hospitable to not only herself but her entire family as well, estranged husband included. Her tolerance and kindness were not things that Tahlia could take lightly and so she had immediately felt a kinship with the woman from the start, even managing to smile now as she attempted to put her thoughts away from her absent step-son.

It became apparent rather quickly that the woman's visit was not simply out of cordiality. She came bearing a message from Bane, something that had been discussed between the two of them that she seemed to find appropriate to share. Knowing the history the two wolves shared, there was admittedly as mall twinge of worry and perhaps even a little jealousy that sparked within Tahlia's being, but she hit it all behind a curious expression, opting for silence as the woman explained. Godmother. It was certainly not what she had expected, though honestly she had not the slightest clue what to expect at all. But at the same time, she was comforted by the words, knowing that her family had a friend in which to call on in troubling times, someone to count on no matter what.

She could hardly find the right words to answer at first, though with the pups at her paws eagerly requesting an explanation of their own she was able to. "A godmother is someone who promises to help take care of a parent's children," she stated, glancing at little Jakart lying upon his back and then Anais still seated beside her. "Sometimes when the parents are not there." Allowing her gaze to shift to Destruction, she smiled gratefully, sincerely. "And thank you. I am glad Bane appointed you godmother."
