They left together, although Aria wasn't quite sure why Osprey had come. She assumed it had something to do with herself, which made her feel even worse. She walked beside the older Gamma with her tail flicking anxiously and lowly behind her. Her head was raised as proudly as it usually was, but her ears were stuck half-raised. "You did not have to leave," she told her quietly, glancing at the larger female with large white eyes. She turned back to the ground in front of her, walking forward still. "Seana appears to trust you," she adds.

The girl nods as they go, listening and absorbing at least half of what the woman is telling her. It's not that she doesn't care, she's frustrated. "Lasher is a good man," she replies, tuning more fully in at the last part. "I can see why she'd be more comfortable with him," she adds, looking at Osprey with a flick of her ears. "Well-- thank you then, Osprey," she says, nosing the gray woman with her black nose, giving her a small smile.

"I just wish I could've stayed. I'm not learning anything but sitting on the sidelines and being told bits and pieces," she tells the other, her tail flicking behind her. "Not that it's truly any of my business, I suppose, but still,"

"I would never judge someone for being cautious," the girl replies, glancing to Osprey. "I'm sure she's going through a lot." 

Aria continues to walk beside the woman, her tail waving back and forth. She smiles, looking down at her feet before she focuses back to the land in front of them. "Thank you, it means a lot," she says. "I guess I just feel like I need to be a part of some situations to truly understand them though-- you know?"

"Well," Aria begins slowly, her head dipping slightly as she spoke. "It'd be nice to know what's going on around us. If I'm in the dark I won't be useful in any situation," she explains, her tail waving. "I mostly just want to know how Lasher handles it. How should I react to different things? I should know this stuff," she tells the other. Her white eyes look up to the sky, squinting at the sun as a handful of white clouds passed over it.

Her tail wags, and she nods to Osprey. "Right," she replies, "I appreciate that." She sniffs at the ground curiously for a moment, breathing in the scents around them. She then glanced to the other woman, thinking for a second before she turns her attention back in front of her. "I'll learn," she says, "I'll get better." 

Osprey suddenly fell, her back aching-- it seemed-- and winced before letting up. She reassured the young Alpha that she was okay, but Aria shook her head violently. "Osprey-- n-no! That's not okay. Your back shouldn't do that... Have you talked to Blue? Or Eilidh? They can figure out what's wrong," she almost began to ramble, it fell just short of such a name. Worries flooded through her mind as she searched through possible problems. Not once did the poor girl think of the fact that Osprey might be pregnant-- she'd long forgotten about the conversation they'd had weeks prior.

"Oh... Right-- sorry I completely forgot you were pregnant," she says, shaking her head with embarressment. Moron. She smiles gently though, glancing to Osprey's stomach before looking at her face. "I guess that wouldn't be very pleasant but-- isn't it a wonderful thing? Having children?" she asks her, her tail beginning to wag excitedly behind her. 

The girl frowns at the mention of sickness, but is not surprised in the slightest. That's how pregnancy works-- that's how it's always worked. Somehow though, it bothers her that such a kind and wise woman such as Osprey had been burdened with such side-effects. As Osprey continues, her tail begins to wag with excitement. Puppies in Donnelaith again... the thought made her heart pound. She thought briefly to what Lasher had told her-- about being garuntueed children-- and her  body ran hot. She shoved the thoughts away best she could, trying to focus on Osprey once again.

"They will be lovely-- you and Dante are both rather handsome," she says, nudging the woman gently. "I suppose it's a bit early-- but do you have any names in mind?" she asks, smiling eagerly. 

The girl listens quietly as Osprey shares her families naming history, and finds she disagrees wholly with the situation. Naming after other people? "Perhaps this is narrow-minded-- but that sounds like a recipe for disappointment," she shares, somewhat bluntly. Sure, this Peregrine might had been a wonderful wolf and grand in all his ways-- but what happens when 'Perry Jr.' fucks up later in life and becomes the family tragedy? Peregrine probably wouldn't have appreciated it then. 

"I think that's a brilliant idea. Personalities do make the name fit," she tells the other with a smile. "But I've always been a fan of unique names. Not after anyone or anything, just a name. My sisters and I were not named after anything specific-- my father simply liked the names. Aria, Kiara and Lea," she adds the last part mostly for an example, in case her explanation had been less than satisfactory. 

"I don't remember where I'd heard the name before-- but I'd always liked the name Colin."

The girl's ears perk. "Really? Were you named after them, then?" she asks, her head tilting gently to the side. "And March Owl is a beautiful name..." she adds, smiling to her feet as the went. Having the last name January herself, it was almost obvious why the pale girl would be fond of being named after a month. The alpha dips her head to the ground and sniffs quietly at it. No wolves nearby, no prey nearby-- pity. She raises her head back up and continues to move through the grass with the older woman, her tail waving behind her.

Aria giggles-- a girly one that she usually hides away. It's child-sounding and giddy, and it takes an edge off of her maturity. She doesn't appear to care, but it bothers her a good bit. It makes her feel young and unfit for her rank-- so she dials it back and pulls her lips into a tight smile, but makes no sound. "To be fair, I've never heard of a March Owl either," she says, roping her facade together again. "But that is pretty funny-- perhaps her mother knew of it?" she suggests, her head tilting to the side.

"I suppose not," Aria says quietly, her gaze falling to the ground. Her ears perk and she glances to Osprey quickly, a small smile forming on her lips. "Thank you, Osprey. I needed this walk," she tells the elder, nudging her shoulder with her nose kindly.
