hold me to the light, let me shine

Since they were free to come and go as they pleased, she knew they were due to visit Novel's family there. Still, she knew there was likely some hesitation there -- so many of her close family had vanished when they'd been taken prisoner, and though Novel didn't vocalize how much their disappearance had hurt her, Ara knew it had affected her. "What sort of things are you interested in? Fighting, healing? If you don't mind me asking," she would add quickly. She felt her tail wagging gently behind her again, pleased to meet one of Novel's cousins. She only wished she was here with her now. Perhaps they could share some of their knowledge with Threar, or vice versa. At the very least, it would give them more of an excuse to spend time with wolves she considered family now. "It can," she agreed with Felicien's sentiment that change was hard. He explained that Novella hadn't been doing well either since her most recent birth. She didn't even know she'd had more children. "I didn't realize she had more children," Ara admitted a bit bashfully, suddenly feeling ashamed they hadn't gone to Threar together to check up on the Destructions that were left there. "I feel guilty for not having visited sooner, but Novel's been struggling still since... everything happened." She didn't know who knew about what had happened to Novel, about being hurt by the man that had impregnated her, but she didn't think about it much right now. She found herself shrugging slightly, feeling guilty weigh upon her shoulders heavily. The news that Novel's grandparents had passed away made her frown slightly. "I'm sorry to hear that," she said, her voice lowering a bit as sadness touched her soft tones. She wasn't looking forward to having to tell Novel that -- and she couldn't help but reminded of the mortality of her own parents and feel even more guilty building in her heart, for having not gone to find them just yet. "It seems like so many of your family have gone. I hope they are okay, wherever they are." |
