The colorful, glittering lights in the sky continued to hold Rio’s attention, though she was listening to Kiara, too. The clouds were fluffy, too, in cordate shapes slowly sweeping around in the sky. They made the night look pretty, and the lights did reflect off of them when they were in a certain position in the sky. She smiled and nodded hearing the femme beside her speak clearly about the lights. She had obviously felt more comfortable around Rio, and she was secretly glad. She was just as afraid of things as Kiara was, sometimes. Especially when she found herself in a situation that she wouldn’t be able to escape… Rio shivered slightly, thinking of one that was so fresh in her mind; it was like it happened yesterday.
”Well, true or not, that’s a nice way to think of it.” Rio understood that others had different beliefs than she, and she didn’t judge them. If it got them through the day without hurting anyone else, it was fine with her. She would’ve fell asleep better if her mother told her that there was spirits watching over her, too. ”Extra protection, while you sleep.” She said it with a smile, still looking up at the ‘Northern Lights’.
As the topic of packs came up, though, Rio looked away from the phenomenon. Ichika no Ho-en was a pack she had heard of here and there. They weren’t a threat, or so she thought, to her- not like Infernians were. ”I’m from Anathema.” She was proud of her roots, even though they’re only recently her roots. Well, it was her mother’s pack and will always be somewhere she could return back to, she was pretty sure of it.
She wasn’t sure if Anathema would be her ‘forever home’, as she explained to her sister once, but it was her home right now and she was content with living there. She had most of her immediate family at her fingertips and had everything she needed. Anathema lands made her feel the safest because she knew she lived around people that cared about her and wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her ever again. It was the only place she ever felt that safe.
