........Cambria had thought that all the pain associated with what had happened to her was gone. Perhaps not gone, but at least buried enough that it wouldn't trouble her any more than it already had. With the revelation of her uncle's acts, however, it had all come rushing to the surface again. She once again felt all the pain her body and psyche had suffered through and she couldn't contain her anger and hurt at Ehno. She couldn't believe that he had done what he had. He had always been so careful with her, with all of the family. It seemed so out of character for him to do something so damaging, but she knew that it was true. Her mother wouldn't have told her that if it weren't true and she knew that it had hurt her as well. She had absorbed all the pain of it and shielded Cambria for as long as she could. There hadn't been a moment that she was resentful for her mother's decision to keep the news from her, for she knew that it had only been out of her desire to protect her. Her mother only wanted the best for her, and Cambria knew that. Unfortunately she hadn't been able to protect her forever.
........The chocolaty girl sobbed as her aunt leaned against her, offering as much comfort as she could in their two separate forms. Cambria wanted to be held, but she knew that Ghita couldn't shift right now. So instead she laid herself down on the floor next to her aunt, pressing her face against her soft fur just as she had months and months ago when she had still been a small pup. Her mother's sister hadn't been around in her life for as long as her uncle had, but she felt closer to the elder Marino, even before all of this had come to light. Perhaps it was attributed to the fact that she most often felt more comfortable in the company of females, but there was more to it than that. It felt like Ghita had that same urge to always protect her just as her mother had and she trusted the woman to never do anything to hurt her. She would have thought the same thing of her uncle, but had proved her trust false.
........Cambria sniffled, tears still running freely from her salty sea orbs. Her folded ears straightened slightly as her aunt spoke, curiosity filling her at the words that came forth. "Lei...Lei fa?" There was so much of her aunt's life that was a mystery to her, so much she didn't know, and so she supposed she shouldn't be surprised that Ghita had gone through more than her fair share of hardships. There had always seemed to be something a little sad about the timber hued woman, a pain that she kept well hidden from the world. Savina had never told her any of her aunt's hardships. It would have been too much for a young girl to understand and really not her place to divulge such personal and painful information. For a moment she wasn't sure if she would be able to bear hearing what had happened, but in the end decided that it could only strengthen their bond.
........The story her aunt told was even sadder than she had imagined. She hadn't had clue that Ghita had had a mate back in Italy, or that she had been pregnant before and lost her puppies. It must have been the worst hurt in the world, much worse than what she was feeling now. The girl didn't feel as if her own feelings were being belittled in any way though. Ghita was only showing that she understood her ambiguous feelings towards her unknown cousins. That made her feel a little better. She hadn't wanted to be upset with the pups, but she couldn't help but feel weird towards them. They were the outcome of the action that hurt her so much. She wasn't sure what to say to her aunt, but she tried the best she could. "Sono...così spiacente, Ghita. Neanche posso immaginare quanto che deve averla doluta." The silence settled between the two feys again for a moment before Cambria spoke again. "Come lei ha preso dopo esso?" Maybe whatever had helped Ghita could help her. The two situations were radically different, for Cambria would eventually have to face her uncle again, but any advice she could get she would take.
