While Ara had wanted to talk to Novella about something when they'd first arrived at the Festival, it seemed the leader of Threar was quite busy with conversing with the others that had arrived too. It was understandable that she might preoccupied, and being who she was, Ara wasn't going to interrupt her conversations with others. However, when some of the commotion died down and she spotted Novella resting on her own, she figured it might be alright to approach her. Stepping away from Novel - knowing she was safe here, amongst family who would do anything to protect her - she would head in Novella's direction. The land, though unfamiliar, was quite pleasant and she felt that the air had a sort of invigorating quality here. The trees were obviously young, and the area was not yet heavily forested, only to the point of being comforting. Her pawsteps were soft as she made her way to Novella, dipping her head in respect to her wife's aunt as she approached. "Good afternoon," she'd greet her, the smallest hint of a smile appearing on her face. Her tail would flick in pleasure where it lay limply at her hocks. "This festival was a good idea," she'd state gently, closing the distance between them with a few more slow steps. "Are there any specific events planned?" she was curious, though figured it was a decent enough way to start a conversation. |

Novella had been nothing but kind to her since she'd known her. She'd listened to her insecurities when she'd been unsure if she ought to tell Novel about her feelings, she'd been there for her when she'd confessed all that Novel had been through. It was rare for Ara to open up to anyway, and knowing that she'd allowed Novella to see that hidden part of herself made her feel quite a bit more comfortable around her. There was still a slight wariness, though. She couldn't help but feel worried that Novella might somehow blame Novel's timidness on her, though she knew Novella wasn't that kind of wolf; still, she wanting her wife's family to think nothing but the best of her. The spars weren't interesting to her at all -- fighting wasn't something she cared for, in fact she hoped she never had to try it, though the healing gathering sounded much more interested. Certainly she and Novel would attend that one. She'd smile gently at the mention of it, nodding with a faint bit of eagerness. "I can't wait for it," she'd tell her, though her excitement was subdued, as was typical of her. Still, her passion was undeniable when it came to healing and it was often difficult for her to contain how much she enjoyed it. "I wanted to ask you something," she began, her voice betraying some of the nervousness she felt. Beneath her, she would shuffle her paws as she searched for the words. "Two things, actually. Novel and I - we've decided to go search for my parents and brother soon," she began her succinct explanation. "We were hoping that Psalm and Hymn might be welcome here while we go?" It was a bit of a strange request. She didn't distrust the wolves of Fiori at all, and yet.. it felt better knowing their sons would be among family. Perhaps some of her fear of the man that had hurt Novel was surfacing, but she'd shake her head gently at the thought. "I also wanted to ask.. since you're sort of.. the head of the Destruction family now," she began. Since Song had left, she seemed the most reasonable head of the family, or so Novel felt. "If I could take the name Destruction. Novel and I never had a formal wedding, and we might never, but.. it'd mean a lot to her, even if she couldn't express it well, and she had no surname of her own to hold onto. |

Being with Novel had forced Ara to be much more outspoken than she normally was. Her wife was timid and often fearful, and she had to help be Novel's voice as well as her own. It would force her out of her shell - and while she preferred to keep to herself, she was genuinely happy to speak to Novella. If anyone, she was probably most comfortable around her than anyone else in Novel's family. Novella seemed glad to welcome Psalm and Hymn when they left. Even if they decided to stay in Fiori on their own, that would be fine too, but it seemed the boys might be happier here amongst family. It might even seem like a vacation of sorts to them. At Novella's next words, though, she felt her tail beginning to wag unconsciously behind her. She did consider the Destructions family, even if she wasn't close to many of them. "Thank you.." she'd begin, obviously quite grateful, unable to put her deep gratitude into words. though she felt she couldn't even put the depth of her gratitude into words. "I couldn't imagine ever being without Novel," she'd comment, though quickly realized it was perhaps a more personal comment than she had intended. It was true, though. She was Ara Destruction, and always would be; she couldn't picture any other sort of life now. "And.. I appreciate being so welcomed by you and everyone else." Honestly, Novel's family was all she had left. She had Mercury, though he had voiced his plans to move far away from these lands with Canta, but she had no clue where her parents and Steel were and her other siblings had disappeared some time ago. |
