As she lay herself onto the ground it wouldn't take long for foot steps to be heard approaching. She would swivel her pale head to the source of the sound, pale fur glinting through the bare limbs of the trees above them. A smile would appear on her features as she realized Novella was the one to approach her side. Quickly the girl would be there, her mother making no move to stand. She'd just gotten to the ground she had no intentions of standing so soon. However she would be open for an embrace, and a quick kiss on her daughter's cheek. "Novella! It's so good to see you well," her tail would wag as she looked up into the girl's bicolored gaze, happiness apparent in her chocolatey gaze. "How have you been, while i was.. ill?" she was curious, she had little other than Dutiron's guidance on how the pack was. Besides, Novella would tell her of the events leading up to the mystery plague.
