In the same way that Novella had stuck by Song when Howl hadn't exactly been too pleased to see her again, the young Destruction girl was going to stick by Symphony now. Why her sister couldn't have stayed was still somewhat a mystery to her of course, couldn't this Gitan fellow had joined them in Ludicael? All the same though it wouldn't affect how much she cared for her sister and she most definitely would still have Symphony's back.
For such a simple little question, Novella received a far more detailed answer than she had actually anticipated. With the weather being the very reason she hadn't expected any visits from family, it was a bit of a surprise to hear just how bad it was, that it had actually driven Symphony here instead. The news brought a rather grave look to her face, though she was here and safe now it was terrible to think what could have happened if her sister hadn't been able to get here and had remained trapped on the island. The expression was only fleeting however, soon replaced with one of complete shock, a hint of joy managing to peek through despite the problems they were still faced with.
"I'm glad you made it here safely then." Novella responded, it certainly couldn't have been an easy journey even without carrying pups and it was rather lucky really that it seemed no harm had come to her sister. "And that is brilliant!" She added, happy for her sister. There were of course plenty of other questions she wished to ask, though now was hardly the time, and Symphony was waiting on a reply to a question of her own.
"Satu's been ill. We've mostly tried to keep sheltered and safe really, it's been really quiet." It made her feel rather guilty that she hadn't yet visited the dens of each family member because she hadn't felt quite right and yet here was Symphony having travelled all this distance to see them. "They'll be really pleased to see you again though." She would certainly make sure they saw Symphony whilst she was here, it was an excuse to get the family together, one that Novella suddenly felt she really needed to not feel quite so distant from the others at the moment.
