Cambria, as any loving cousin would, had been forever curious about Conor's past. She knew it wasn't anything pleasant, that was clear to see. It had been obvious to her even as a young pup. Out of respect though, she had never asked Conor about the areas of his life that caused him pain. The Marino knew what it was like to have a painful event in your past and she liked to just avoid the subject of her accident as much as possible. Talking about it had never made her feel better. It was something terrible that had happened to her, and she just had to live with it. She had a feeling Conor felt the same way regarding the skeletons in his closet and she wasn't going to be the one to uncover those old wounds. If he ever wished to tell her about it, she would listen, but she wasn't going to go poking her nose about in his shadows.
Her cousin's happiness didn't diminish a jot as she went into detail about her three little siblings. Cambria loved them each dearly, though she worried after Artemis. So far the silver tinted pup had been lucky and hadn't hurt herself, but her healer's intuition told her that it was only a matter of time before she would be patching up her little sister. The slight fey only prayed that whatever it was would be minor and easily recovered from. She didn't know how her nerves would hold up if Artemis ever got severely hurt. Conor's deep voice brought her out of her silent brooding though. "They are, you'll have to come see them whenever you can manage to get away," she said, tail wagging. Cambi knew they would love to meet him. Silvano would likely be fascinated that he was already a leader at his age.
His sudden and unexpected confession caught her somewhat off guard. He envied her? Cambria had never considered herself someone to be envied. When he amended the statement, talking about her family it made more sense. Of the few pieces of information she had been able to collect, Conor was more or less on his own, and nearly always had been. Her smile turned sympathetic and she rubbed her face against his strong neck. "You know you're always welcome in Crimson Dreams, and we'd all do whatever we could for you." She said this without hesitation or second thought. Her parents would always be there to help Conor, and so would she.
