Though she was sure life would never really go back to how it was before the attack normalcy was beginning to return. Ara would help her to recover, and she felt as though she was coming close to being fully restored. Of course, she?d left the den very little in the time that Hymn and Psalm were alive and though she was doing well inside the outside world could have very well been a different story. Her family were all she?d seen thus far and it was unlikely that strangers would gain any warm welcome from the girl.
Ara?s words would warm her heart as their gazes were directed towards the tiny pups at her belly. They were both so beautiful it was hard for her to tear her eyes away from them. They?d quickly become the object of her obsession, her whole world wrapped up in two small packages. She didn?t even want to think about what she would do if Lel decided to return for them. She couldn?t fight, and she knew the pack was devoid of impressive warriors. Though she knew not how to fight she would defend her children with her life if called for. The pregnancy might have been unwanted but more than anything else in the world she wanted them now.
Her bright blue eyes would be drawn back to Ara?s features as she uttered her name. The question that followed was not one that Novel had really put any thought to so she was caught a little off guard. Ara would move back a little as the question settled within her, really she was uncertain how to respond. Ara was very much as big a part of their lives as she was, what title would they bestow upon her? She was right too, they were so curious already how long would it be until they asked of Ara?s position in their lives? ?Who do you want to be to them?? She?d ask softly, she felt strongly that Ara had as much influence on them as she did. Novel didn?t want to place a label on her that she would not appreciate. She was practically their second parent, anything less than that seemed a great injustice. ?You?re already like their second parent. I couldn?t deny you a title like that.? She?d smile softly and nudge her again, the affection having become second nature to her.
