Was it sad that this was perhaps the happiest Ryan had been in quite some time? It was a great feeling to know that Anselm was equally as eager to see her – atleast, he presented himself that way. And of course, she didn’t mind at all when he jumped at her to shower her in bloody kisses – the scent was more delectable than anything and she felt easily like a little girl again. It had been a long time since she had felt like a child.
When he backed away from her, she let her crimson gaze take him in. He didn’t look too bad at all, and Ryan was happy that whatever he had done while he was away had treated him well. "Thanks," she smiled, looking down at the food that had been offered to her. It had been awhile since she had last eaten, and she wondered whether or not she should call for Valkyrie to come snag some of grampy’s kill too. "Looks delicious," she suggested, before her face pulled into a frown. Ryan didn’t realize at first what he was apologizing for, but then waved it away once it became clear. "Oh, don’t worry." She grabbed at the hem of her dress, pulling the material away from her body to assess the damage. "Nothing a little cold water can’t get out," she assured him, as there had been plenty of other times when she had had to work out dirt and grime.
She settled onto the ground, crossing her legs beneath her like a pretzel. Though eating like this in Optime was a little messy and odd, she didn’t mind much. She picked at the offerings and raised them to her muzzle all the same, relishing the flavors that greeted her. "How’ve you been?", her words slightly muffled by the food in her mouth. She leaned slightly into him, appreciating the warmth radiating back from her father.
