It wasn't much, hardly even visible really even on her now skinny form but it was there. The small round bump that was the visual indicator she carried life within her. She was happy, incredibly so, this overshadowed Matteo's disappearance by a long shot to her and while some people would have named her callous and unfeeling, her mate had been exiled after all, at the current moment he was not at the forefront of her mind and he most likely wouldn't be for a while. Taking care of children was hard work, she knew that from raising Jaden. At the thought of her little boy the woman's smile disappeared and her eyes shimmered as a deep overwhelming sense of loss filled her. Her little warrior, he hadn't stood a chance, not against his own body. The child of herself and Giuseppe. She might be carrying his brother right now, another child of Giuseppe, the thought made her shiver with fear but also a stirring of desire, as much as he scared her, she couldn't deny the attraction she held for him.

As always now whenever she left AniWaya, Tamai Waki was with her, fully visible to provide her with the most support and strength. The large white Buffalo moved very gracefully and quietly for such a large animal and she admired him quietly. As usual they didn't speak as they walked, simply enjoying each others company, the only times they really and truly spoke was late at night whilst Gemma sat next to the Great Fire. He would tell her stories from his time alive and she would maybe share the few good experiences she had in her life. Also she would share the bad. He helped her a lot, talking through events in her life with her, helping her to see reason where she could find none herself, it was all good for her. As well as her growing relationship with Frodo now, he had quickly proven himself to be a kind and gentle man, if a bit strange in his speech, he provided her with food when she didn't ask for it and also gave her impromptu lessons whenever it was possible.

She regretted staying away from Talesin but chalked it up to a fear of leaving her territory. Within AniWaya she and her children were safe, out here, things could happen. But the need to see her brother had finally overwhelmed the fear and so here she stood on the borders of his pack. After crying out with her distinctive coyote/wolf cross howl she waited as patiently as she could be.
