Swiftcurrent Creek strong bones

aria was quiet as constantine arrived. she viewed the small child with jealousy and longing. she'd always wanted a family-- that was one thing that had never changed, not ever in her life had aria not wanted a family. but she had not met constantine's children yet, as she'd tried to hard to distance herself from them to avoid any conflict-- conflict that had not been definite but... aria had an inkling of a feeling that it was present. 

she didn't wish that this was her child, that it was her and constantine's child, she merely wished she had one. some. a pang of regret that she had been to stubborn in her lifetime to settle down, to flimsy with her morals, perhaps. or maybe she had tried, with that floki man. aria simply couldn't remember. 

she mustered a soft smile for the burly little girl, ears angled forwards, and then looked up towards constantine. "i will leave you two, there's plenty to catch up on, i imagine," she said, before dipping her head and removing herself from the situation.
