Nayru let the words of Liliana soak in, turning them over and trying to imagine the man that would become her friend's mate. Perhaps one day she would meet Nayati, be able to compare the image she came up with to the real man. Whoever he was, surely he was a good soul for Nayru trusted the judgment of Liliana. The woman only had kind things to say about her future mate and Nayru then tried to compare the traits Liliana listed to those Nayru knew. Gideon, Saluce, Aro, Conor. Were any of them handsome? Nayru had never considered it, but she suppose none of them were bad looking. No one she knew was bad looking… Nayru had never judged another based on their physical appearance before, never thought of her own. Was she beautiful? Did it matter? Nayru did not care if she was or not, did not care if those she had in her life were or not. That had never mattered before and it didn't matter now, she let the thought go and went on to the other traits. None of the people she thought of were traditional, but all were kind and caring, and none were particularly funny. Fun, Aro and Gideon were both fun, but in different ways. Yet no matter how many times she went over them she did not think she felt for any of them the way Liliana felt for Nayati. Perhaps she would only understand when it finally happened to her.

“He sounds wonderful Liliana, I'm really glad you've found someone to share your life with.” And have children and make a home. Nayru did not think she needed someone to have children with, she had Range and Melee in her life and they were enough. And she had a home, by herself, but it was her's and she loved it. And the girl was pleased when Liliana expressed interest in seeing the greenhouse, explaining that she didn't even know what a green house was. Nayru smiled, remembering when she had showed Liliana the vineyards and the garabage dump. So accusomted to Dahlia de Mai's lands the girl took for granted others did not always know the wonders that the human population had left on this earth. She was eager to share it with her AniWaya visitor. “Alright. I would love to show you, but it's across the packlands, all the way on the eastern border. You don't mind walking do you?”

Of course Liliana could ride Grace, but the idea did not cross Nayru's mind as she turned east, looking over her shoulder to make sure the pair was following her, They would have to move through most of Berwick, part of Wolfville and over all the lands between there and the garden. Liliana would see the woods and the springs and the fields of Dahlia de Mai and Nayru was happy to share more than just the remnants of the human land with the woman. Dahlia de Mai had so much to offer and Nayru never grew tired of wandering her home. “If you'd like to stop and rest or look at something, just say so. I live on the eastern end because no one else does, and I like to keep the borders over there secure. Plus it's a little more secluded and I enjoy the quiet,” Nayru smiled, admitting her solitary life style, All of Dahlia de Mai knew she was a loner, among them but mostly as a shadow. Liliana would only know because Nayru shared this with her friend, but she said it with joy, there was no resentment in her loneliness.
