Novella knew nothing at all of Gargoyle's reign nor the man himself. A sad truth perhaps though one that perhaps in time with Odette's help would be amended for Novella and other's like herself. From recent experience she knew full well it was important to remember respected figures. The Adravendi name, whilst not Odette's by blood was still a claim for the girl and the members of it her family. The recognition would spread across her features as Guinevere's name was mentioned and Novella would smile at the reaction and news. "My nephew Dhiren is rather fond of her. He's been raising her daughter as his own." She explained now her own little connection with the other Adravendi woman.
Odette seemed to share Novella's thoughts upon the packs. There certainly was a potential for them to get along one that would only grow stronger still as the Glaciem alphess went on to mention allies. Now it was Novella's turn for a pleasantly surprised look to cross her features. She wouldn't interrupt just yet, for Odette had found her own little question to ask, once more on the topic of families. Such a small world it seemed.
"Bass is my nephew." She responded with a warm smile. "Abaven in fact are currently our only allies as well. Though I have to say, I don't think I would mind allying with Glaciem as well." Whilst family alone wasn't a reason to trust someone, the description of the pack was certainly tempting and the fact that they were allied with Abaven was enough for Novella to accept the offer.
