Moonspear I've seen this room, I've walked this floor

Nikai couldn't help but feel a little caught out when Hydra light-heartedly commented on the happiness falling from his face as realisation dawned. He caught that she didn't mean it that way but part of him couldn't help but feel like he should've handled it a bit better. Anyway -- Nikai hid the awkwardness in a chuckle and stopped himself from apologising for it. Thought you were someone else, he said, even though it had been pretty clear that he'd thought that to her. She must have this all the time, where people would think either of her sisters were her or the other way around.

She mentioned that she had not been able to visit before due to her children, and Nikai nodded with a serious expression on his face. That's alright. I've seen Valette raise a few litters, I imagine it's busy. I've been adjusting alright. He paused briefly. It's... A strange time to arrive. But it's also good to be here for Alya through this. I miss my old home, but it is what it is.
