It seemed Mew's awkward efforts paid off, for as moments passed her aunt calmed a little. Her tears quieted and they sat downstairs for some time. Mew had always thought that her aunt's presence was a comforting one, and seeing as Colibri was never around she supposed it was the closest thing to a mother-child bond she would ever have. Knowing that the older femme was her family, her mother's sister, and also so much wiser than herself was a resource. She had drawn upon that resource many times, and the dark femme had done such great things for her lithe, ivory relative that it made her feel quite humbled. This dark female had been here for her when she lost her first children, and when she had gained her second children. She had cared for her life more than once, and for that Mew would be forever grateful. This was one opportunity to repay her for all her good actions, and Mew was glad even though she wasn't entirely sure how to grasp the situation. It was time for Mew to do something for Hanna, for once, and she — if she had been asked, though there was no need to enter the subject at this time — found no words for how much she appreciated that her aunt had chosen to come to her. Not to another friend, not to the father, but to her niece. They shared a bond of trust, and Mew knew better than to throw it away. She would nurture it 'till her death, for she loved her aunt, and Hanna deserved that much.
