This is totally not a kidnapping in progress

Dark ears would fall slightly as he reacted to the question about his family, obviously their memory harbored less than wonderful memories. Still he wasn't about to keep the knowledge from her and from the start he'd warn her that his lineage was complicated. She had no doubt that his upbringing was completely different from her own. She'd lived with her two caring parents for her first two years of life. Unlike her siblings she hadn't set off until her second birthday, finally feeling ready to disembark from that strong parental bond. She missed them sometimes, but felt comfortable where she was. One day she knew that she would need to return to them. She wondered if his family tree looked similar to her own, huge and seemingly boundless. Rhythm didn't even know how many cousins, second cousins, aunts and uncles she had out there.

His demeanor would change as he finished his list, her own features returning to their relaxed state as he seemed to puff out his chest in pride as he announced his offspring. Her own expression would brighten at the thought for a moment as a flash of Shaye's face would materialize her mind, as usual the thought would open the flood gates of her memories of loss. She'd lose her breath for a moment, and she'd try to cover it with a cough as she shook her head of the thoughts. No, they wouldn't erupt here. Looking back up to her giant date her smile would return, obviously thrilled to hear about the tiny little Valens running around, though even more so that he hadn't made any mention of their mother. She had half a mind to ask, but wondered if that was one question better left unasked.

Instead she'd focus on his next question, this time a bit more personal as he queried about her fighting skills.. and passions in general. Her grin would turn more genuine as the thoughts he'd helped her escape in the first place drifted off. "You'd be right. That's more Bass and Motif's specialty." The sea breeze would gust rather suddenly, bringing with it an unusually cold burst for the season. Rhythm's train of thought would be disturbed as she felt a shiver run over her spine and turn into a rather violent cold chill. She'd visibly react before settling back down in the now colder atmosphere. Surely the cold had been brought down suddenly from the not too distant North. "Brrr..." She'd shake her pelt back into place, "Anyway," she'd begin again, though she couldn't seem to rid the cold from her voice. "I try and learn whatever I can to help my family. When I first came here Bass gave me the rank of messenger. It suited me well, I went out on adventures, learned the surrounding areas rather well. I never had any important missions but I enjoyed memorizing the lands." Knowing exactly where you were was important for a messenger, "When Harmony disappeared though I had to take a step back from that and really advance my healing knowledge. My mother taught me all about childbirth and raising, so it was easy to expand that knowledge and become a healer." Had she one thing she really worked for her entire life? No one task could be boasted, but she did everything for her kin.

She hoped the explanation was enough for him, "If that doesn't answer your question I can expand more with out penalty." She'd wink, though it wasn't a way to get free answers, she didn't know if she'd explained well enough. "But first.." she'd shiver again visibly, "Do you mind if I leach off your body heat?" Yes, that was her question. The cold was getting much too distracting to think of a real question.
