s'my job! Big Grin 500+



     The one thing that had probably allowed her to get any rest at all was knowing that Mati hadn't been hurt. That was something that had brought her some amount of peace when she had been trapped in that failing building. Her panic had greatly overwhelmed it, but she was glad that Mati wasn't stuck with her. It would have been awful if she had. Or if the roof had fallen on her instead of in front of her. The thought had made her shudder and made her want to throw up. Already she couldn't imagine, didn't want to imagine, her life without the Church wolfess. Already the other fey was rooted deeply in her heart and losing her was something she couldn't imagine. It would be a pain like she had never felt before. Cambria had a feeling that that was what Mati had felt while she hadn't known how she was. She hated to have caused her that pain, but at least everything was alright now. Neither of them would have to face that despairing future.



     The knowledge that her own parents had been there for Mati made her feel good. It didn't surprise her either, though. Both her mother and her father were very caring people. Of course kids usually thought that of their parents unless given a reason not to, but she had never seen any evidence that her parents weren't as caring towards others as they were towards her and her siblings. Her mom was the leader of the pack after all, and she knew she cared deeply for everyone in the pack. It was why she worked so hard to keep everyone safe and happy. "I'm glad to hear that, that they've helped you." It was not only important that their parents got along, but also that they liked Mati, and that Anu liked her. There was still some nervousness about what the reactions would be when and if they ever came forward with their budding relationship, but she trusted that all of their parents would be happy for them. The ones that lived here, anyway. Anu would definitely understand, and her father too, and there was no reason for her to think that her mother would be against it in any way. Everything would work out, she just needed to think and believe that.



     Cambria had had a feeling that Mati might understand the confused feelings that whirled inside of her when it came to the pups that had been born between Ehno and Naniko. It must have been just as much, if not more, awkward for Mati to know that her birth mother had had new puppies. She tried to think about what it would feel like, but it was impossible for her to imagine her mother or father doing anything of the sort and not being together. It was one of the solid facts that held her life together and she was unwilling to break it, even hypothetically. Mati's words and the soft kiss on her palm sent a calming warmth through her battered form and her eyes fluttered closed momentarily, breathing in deeply. Her head turned, and looked back towards Mati as she spoke of one of the girls, one of her unknown cousins. "What's...what's she like?" Hearing the pup's name and even such little about her opened up an unexpected curiosity about her. "What was it like for you...meeting her?" Maybe if Mati had made it through such an encounter alright there was hope for her too. Cambria didn't want to leave herself out of any more family gatherings, it had been painful enough the first time.
