Things were beginning to settle. Her and Giuseppe were okay as far as their relationship and he seemed to understand, somewhat, of what happened, and Beppe was content with things. With Montidora, as well, tagging along, Maria had her hands full. The child she found on the borders was often rambunctious now that she was warming up to their family and eating healthy again but the more meat she saw appear on her bones, the happier Maria felt. It was like they were all a family again, however, things were not always right. With a deep sigh, walking along the ocean, Maria brushed back her hair. The ocean breeze greeted her with scents she recognized, of her family, of her... "pack" so to speak, something she never thought she had. However, among those scents was one that was unfamiliar, yet she recognized it easily. It was like riding a bike and never forgetting how to.
Her head cautiously turned in the direction the scent had come from and she spun on her heels to face it. Part of her wanted to ignore it and find somewhere else to be, leaving the border to someone else. However, the scent needed to be responded to. She needed to face that part of her life. Her and Giuseppe had agreed to start over in these new lands without the hassling of either of their families and now one of them was here? She thought it might be her sister, but she hadn't seen her in nearly a year and so her memories couldn't exactly pin-point it. Walking in that direction, several minutes later, Maria saw the form of her sister. "Antonella?" she called out, bitting her tongue as she stopped short a few feet away.
