Broken Antler Fen Pretty Thoughts

Oh my GOSH OH MY GOSH. Maia's hug was more than a little enthusiastic and likely overbearing, but she didn't care. After the year of ups and downs that she'd had, mostly downs in the family sense, seeing his face was about the best thing she could have possibly hoped for.

Wait, uncle.... OH!! Yeah! Her tail began to wriggle behind her as she thought of getting to actually introduce her family to their uncle. The only dampener on it was that she knew the introductions would only be positive for a few, but she would take what she could get!! I have two now! And three more that we kind of adopted. They're... they're great.

Her finish was clearly genuine and loving, but some of the pure enthusiasm did disappate with that final statement. Talking about their adoption brought to mind Ibis, and that in turn reminded her that there was news Cori didn't know. Stuff that she'd probably have to share. Right this moment didn't exactly feel like the right time, but if she didn't by the time they met Eljay and the rest of them, she would later when they were alone again.

A lot sounds like an understatement. You, taking a vacation, though?! I thought all of that was for us family slackers. She got a little of that glint back, joking with him warmly. Though that twinge of sadness was still there, fresh with the knowledge that the 'us' she referred to was now only herself.

if they don't get to it this thread, you can assume she told him about Wraen/Terance dying and Sarah disappearing - not confirmed dead, but likely so <3
