Novella wouldn't notice Frith's watchful gaze as they walked, her own lingered upon the views ahead of her. She had long since gotten her emotions back into check from the near breakdown at the Falls, though still she hadn't really looked back at him yet as they quietly travelled together. She would once more lean into his touch as he nuzzled her though as he spoke she would finally cast a brief glance his direction.
Perhaps normally this would have turned into some game of sorts between them, maybe full of playful questions about this girl he spoke of or even tales of her own wonderful man. She didn't have the heart to make such jokes now however it could be blamed upon the serene shrine though it was her own mood still, that much she knew. Novella remained silent, no immediate verbal response instead leaning back into him, nuzzling gently into his fur.
"I'm sorry." Were the hushed words that eventually left her lips as she remained nestled into her mate's side. "I don't know what's wrong with me." It was stressful and perhaps only dampened her spirits further, if she at least had some idea of how to get better maybe it would help her feel better.
