It felt a bit strange to be part of a pack that was mostly family, but in a way it felt reassuring and safe, too. Her parents had told her how large her family was. Admittedly, she did not remember the names of all of her family, and she knew she would not meet many of them... if any at all. Her older siblings were not from these lands, and as far as she knew, had families and lives of their own. Her small family here was more than enough to satisfy her, but she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be with them now.
Ara watched with inquisitive blue eyes as Novella seemed to note what they looked like, hopefully storing it away in case she ran across them. She knew Faolan had no trouble making friends, but Mercury was often more withdrawn like herself, and meeting some friendly faces would not do him any harm. Her tail waved behind her a few times as Novella questioned where they came from.
"The Kingdom of Seracia," she proclaimed. It was all she had ever known, but she knew her parents didn't associate it with home as strongly as she did. It had been a place they had found refuge in, and the place they had reunited in. But she knew her parents found home wherever their family was, regardless of who ruled or the lands that they lived in. A smile graced her features. "Leadership there changed, and I don't think they liked my parents liked it much. They didn't hate it, but my mother is very fond of Song, and thought we would be happier here." She knew she'd been very grateful to spend so much time with Novel, and Novella was proving to be a nice companion as well. "I like it better here, too."
