While Maera had craved her friends company during the time she was gone, she had held her doubts about her ever coming back. It was an involuntary reaction of her mind that was simply triggered by departures; by goodbyes. Thankfully this had not been a 'goodbye' but a 'see you later', and even more shocking real one. Many times she had heard those condemning words of farewell from her loved ones but it had been even more times that they had been the last she heard from them.

With her head nodding once quickly she set after the white coated female, the tip her tail waving lightly behind her as she trotted beside her. And while the young Sveijarn didn't mind playing 'duckling' while following Scarlett's guide, playing 'daughter' was where she drew the line. Maera had one mother and one alone -- even in her absence or blinding grief she was still solely hers.
But that was not a subject to be touched until it was brought up.

Just like Scarlett seemed to be reluctant to bring up the source of her musky new fragrance. For now, Maera would let it be, hoping the ruby-eyed female would take the same approach when wanting to pry about her family.

She listened to the instructions carefully, not wanting to really ask any questions unless necessary. The chatty-catty that had once loved inside the fiery pup had been covered under thick layers of fear and anxiety that had liked up during the lonely nights, and which residues were hard to clean up.

Alright, no promises I won't bite though She joked lightly, her eyebrows wiggling above her hazel eyes as she retreated, giving her current Caretaker room to go act as an animal as she switched onto predator mode.
