If not for her wife's slightly reclusive nature, and her own desire to protect her children and to ensure she had a place in Fiori, she likely wouldn't have spoken to this woman at all. Ara was not a woman that needed to prove her worth, for she knew herself that she had valuable skills and could easily provide for her family, but she needed Fiori to know that she had a place here and that she could contribute as much as others. Only for her wife and sons would she grow bold enough to speak to the Sovereign's daughter, and she smiled gently at her as she approached. Behind her, her tail would wave somewhat bashfully. Where did Amalia know her from? There was really only one option. "No need to be sorry. Were you born in Seracia?" she asked gently, though felt she already knew the answer. This woman was close to her own age, and Epiphron had ruled her previous pack when she'd been young -- that was likely where she'd seen her. Quickly a slight flare of recognition would spark in her own blue gaze, her soft smile widening slightly. When Amalia asked if she studied herbs, the quiet woman nodded eagerly. Only this sort of conversation could get her to relax so fully, and instantly her posture relaxed quite noticeably. "I do," she answered with ease, slowly letting her body drift closer to the ground as she reclined to her hindquarters. "I've been studying healing almost since I was born." Something about herbs had always interested her. Since her father had been taken prisoner, she'd wanted to help heal him and the rest of her family. Time had only strengthened her drive for knowledge, further cementing her purpose in life and certainly what she could contribute to this pack. "My name is Ara," she introduced after a moment, eyes sparkling as she gazed at her with another meek smile. "I was with my wife Novel at the meeting, and our sons, Psalm and Hymn." |
