Do you want to wrap it up with them heading off in the search of adventure? <3 Wc: 440~ Looking down at her niece, Ghita couldn't help but feel as if she was looking at a tinier, more silver-tipped version of herself as a pup. A wave of nostalgia crashed over her, the fae missing something she was unable to put a claw on. If she could give herself advice when she was Artemis' age, what would she say? Would she warn herself of the future to come or leave her to her own devices? She'd turned out alright, as all of Ghita's family would, she knew. But was it worth all of the heartache and pain to get there? Smiling at Artemis, the girl had provided the aunt with a much-needed distraction from the past's haunting 'what ifs'. Allowing her tail to begin to twitch, wagging excitedly, she nodded, turquoise optics visualizing the country in her mind. The circumstances Ghita had lived in weren't as good as the life she had in Crimson Dreams, but the land itself was beautiful. The huntress had no intention of bringing any of her family - including herself - back to visit her estranged paternal family, but perhaps a trip back to Italy for a visit would be nice. Perhaps not worth the inherent risk, but nice all the same. "Italy was beautiful, caro. Green lands and hills like you wouldn't believe - and fascinating ruins all around. Perhaps one day we can return for a visit... but it is risky to cross the ocean." Vocalizing the thoughts she'd had not moments before, honesty was the best policy with her family, Ghita found, and no matter how old the child was, everyone deserved some aspects of the truth, if they could handle it. And Ghita knew her niece could. Humming to herself, the fae racked her brain, searching for something on the Crimson Dreams territory that would capture the girl's interest. There was the windmill - that might work, along with the Lenape falls and many more sights along the way. Rabbit Lake was even a splendid sight to see - even though it initially appeared plain, there were hidden joys along it, if you looked hard enough. But maybe, perhaps, Artemis would take interest in the very ocean that brought her family to this patch of land. Bearing her pearly teeth in a toothy grin, the fae rose to her paws slowly, tail wagging slowly at first then growing faster with time. "Artemis, I know just the place." If the two girls timed it just right, Ghita could treat her niece to the splendor of the sun setting over the ocean, and maybe even a scavenger hunt for seashells along the shore. |
