Aww, that's no good! D: Just take your time, no rush! <3

Meeting her son's gaze once more, her face crinkled in response to his, responding in kind to his smile. In her heart, she was saddened that Aro felt he needed to keep secrets from his sister, but in truth, she understood. Back in Italy, in their youth, Savina and Ehno had always been closer to each other than Ghita, and at times the youngest sibling felt almost as if she was cut off from them, and she kept to herself more often than not.

But of course, that had changed with time. Now that Ghita was in Crimson Dreams, and all three siblings safe and alive in Canada, her relationship with her siblings had grown for the better. Perhaps it had taken some tragedies in their lives to support the new understanding of each other. Ghita had lost a litter and a mate, they had all lost a mother, Savina had nearly lost her child twice, and lost a friend, with whom Ehno seemed to stake his loyalties. The family had been divided for some time, but the Marino blood prevailed, as it always would.

Ehno's children were another matter altogether. Their mother, Naniko, didn't want them associating with Crimson Dreams all that much, and so three of them lived in Phoenix Valley, one wandered, and one was pulled towards Dahlia de Mai, but she couldn't hold them forever. Perhaps, after the valuable years of youth had flown by, they would return to Savina's pack, and find happiness here, or at least make an effort to know their Marino kin. She could only hope that what was best for them would come. Ghita didn't want to pressure them one way or another, although she did want to know her nieces and nephews well.

Turning back to her own son, a wave of gratefulness washed over her, and she felt the need to draw him close, just to feel her living, breathing son in her arms, and fully embrace the love she had for him. But that would have to wait; The stars were calling. Nodding, she remembered the tidbit she learned from navigation, and spoke up once more. "I spent a long time making my way through Italy, Europe, and Canada navigating by the stars. As long as you have a fix on where they are, and where they're moving, you can go anywhere."

Blinking, she considered Aro's theory with a warm, motherly smile, all too thrilled by his imagination. Laughing in a bell-like tone along with him, joining her son in tumbling to the ground, rolling over onto her good leg to ensure minimal damage. Lying there for a moment, staring up at the stars from on her back, it almost looked as if Aro could be on to something, perhaps. "Now, wouldn't that be something."
