You Are What You Love

Nayru smiled gently as recognition seemed to flood Shiloh. That they both shared an important person between them seemed to be established and Nayru was glad to have that out of the way. It seemed then that Gideon had spoken about her, though the creamy colored lady added that it had only been a brief mention. And yet the mention was enough to cause Shiloh to pull Nayru in, embracing her, and Nayru returned the greeting warmly and sincerely, although she was confounded at the emotions such kindness caused in her. So rarely did she initiate contact with others, or did others initiate contact with her, the sensation as still unfamiliar though not unpleasant. It seemed as natural as when Bris embraced her, and though Nayru did not share quite the same bond with both woman she could see how one day they might. Without her own family, Gideon and Bris had sucked Nayru into theirs, and that now included Gideon’s other siblings. It seemed only right and normal to care for them as she did the ebony boy and his aunt.

"How great to finally meet you." She pulled back to regard the younger woman, the sweet but timid smile still pulling back her lips. Gideon’s sister was clothed in a way Nayru never was, but so had Tsukiko and the girl no longer found it strange. They were closer now and Nayru noted that the girl seemed cold, and if Nayru focused on her own temperature she found it less than ideal, but was able to ignore it as soon as she moved her mind away from it. "I’m sorry it’s taken so long for our paths to cross, I am often at my home on the eastern borders." And that meant seeing most of the Dahlians less, for so many of them seemed to congregate in Wolfville and the surround area. Yet she was not resentful of the fact when she spoke, only matter of fact, for she loved her home and even her solitude to some extent.

"Gideon was so pleased when you all returned." Gideon seemed a safe subject, and one they commonly shared, as Nayru searched for words to speak, a common ground. What besides their family and friends did they share, if anything? "With Melee and Range, and now Bris’ daughter, it seems your family keeps increasing. Are you staying with Conor and all the others, or did you find yourself a home a little less crowded?"
