Of course Anu would be happy to hear their news. Princess had already known what Haven was going to say, but she had needed to hear it, it seemed. Hearing him say those words did help ease her nerves, as she had expected, and she had no more qualms. "Okay, good," she breathed. She had known that everything would be fine and that this was a joyous occasion, but perhaps she had been masking her own mother issues by worrying about his mother's reaction. Anu would be happy for them, but she knew that if she went to tell Tokyo, then it would only end in tears for her. She was glad to have not seen her mother in months, and she did not intend to change that, but there it was in the back of her mind: her mother's overbearing presence. Princess wanted to free herself of it, but she did not know how she would do it.
As they approached and Anu came into her line of vision, all thoughts of her own wretch of a mother left her mind. She took Haven's hand, sliding gently off of Drogon's back, clinging to her mate's shoulder with her free hand for support in getting down. The young Chance woman stayed beside the horse for another moment as Haven went forward to hug his mother. It seemed appropriate that she let them have an extra moment together, as they were mother and son and she knew that they were close. She almost felt as if she was intruding on a family moment by going to be with them, but then she realized... She was family, too. That was why they had come today. Her smile brightened as she came to be with them. "Hello, Anu. How are you?" she asked, taking in the sight of her former leader. The extra weight around her stomach was visible, but she chose not to comment on it now. If it was simply extra weight gained, it was possible Anu would be offended, something she certainly wanted to avoid.
