The girl whimpered happily and freely sobbed into Arlette's furs as they met each other in an embrace shared only by long lost loved ones.
Sovereign did not offer her own words in response just yet, until Arlette addressed Ensio, who the yearling knew stood close by. 

At this, Sov detached herself from her aunt and backed up a few steps to introduce the two.
"Ensio, this is my aunt, Arlette, from back home. Arlette, this is my companion and friend, Ensio." She aid, passing a foreleg between them from one to the other respectively. 
Looking to her aunt now, she tried to explain the dynamic between herself and Ensio, "He and I found each other after everything with Hildibrandr happened...he promised he wouldn't leave my side, and I vowed the same to him." She said this with genuine gratitude traced into her voice, looking now to Ensio so he could confirm or add to her words, or whatever he wanted to do, now that Sovereign was drying her tears and regaining herself.
