Ravensblood Forest Calling to join them, the wretched and joyful

She feels herself sighing in relief unbidden, almost against her will. Despite her attempts to remain her composure, Lia is unable to remain aloof. A dazzling smile and wagging tail reveal her joy at being accepted into this new Teaghlaigh, even as a mere associate.

"Thank you," she dips her head in gratitude. It is not a usual thing she is sure, to ask for a demotion. It must be a first for Arturo, of this Lia is sure. 

The idea of remaining a Comhlach is a far more joyous occasion than if she had been granted a higher rank. Lia cannot help but think that if she were immediately admitted to The Family that she could not be content there. This is a completely new Teaghlaigh and she has not earned any such rights to its inner workings. 

"I will try to make you proud," the doyenne promises sincerely. Lia will put forth her utmost effort to make not only Arturo proud but this new Family and the past Teaghlaigh.
