His sibling’s hesitant request saddened him. Suddenly his separation from his children was more real and he missed them greatly. After spending so much time with them around, he knew it would take some adjusting to the quiet of his home in Crimson Dreams. Yet he had his family in this pack to take their place around him, and he knew he wouldn’t be completely alone. Savina’s eyes drifted from him, adding to the potency of her hesitant words. With this entire convoluted situation, he could understand why she would be so uncertain about meeting her nieces and nephew. Ehno certainly wanted his sister to be able to get to know his children. The situation was difficult enough as it was for him without imagining the possibility of the two sides of his family forever being separated. "Certo," he said gently, almost soothingly. "La voglio li incontrare." He smiled then, a little shakily at first.
Finding a way for his onyx-hued sibling to meet his puppies would be quite the task, he could sense it already. Bringing Savina to the Valley pack to meet them was absurdly out of the question; the two women would have no choice but to cross paths, and Naniko would never allow his sister into her home. The same could be said for a reverse situation. While Savina had never outright exiled the D’Angelo woman from the packlands, he knew she would still be quite unwelcome in her old home. Simply put, the only possible remedy for this situation would be for Naniko to remain at home while Ehno temporarily brought the little ones on a trip to Crimson Dreams. But to simply take them from their mother and their home, for even just a short trip… He would have to discuss it with Naniko whenever the time came for him to venture back to Phoenix Valley. It couldn’t be that hard to persuade her, right?
Ehno’s thoughts were quickly removed from trying to solve this predicament when his sibling suddenly pulled herself away to sit on his bed. The first thing he noticed was how shaky she had been, but he simply dismissed it as being from nervousness about the outcome of their little ‘reunion.’ Yet as she sat there and rested her head in her hands, be begun to notice that something was a little different about her. She looked ragged and worn down, so much thinner than she had been when he’d last seen her. The only explanation he could come up with for her appearance was the stress he had placed upon her with his two-month departure. Guilt began to dominate his thoughts again, and without another thought he moved to sit beside her. "Savina, tu..." he began, but when the words failed him he sighed and simply shook his head.
