Koya could relate exactly to how the other goddess was feeling concerning being grounded, stuck in the mortal world. Of course, Rokopelli hadn't exactly chosen to be stuck in this particular situation. Koya, on the other hand, had chosen to stay with her great great granddaughter to watch over her and protect her, and thus have to remain with her at all times. There were times where she wondered whether it was all worth it, but in the end she always concluded that it indeed was. She only hoped that it would all be worth it in the end for Rokopelli as well.
The silver goddess noticed how tired the other seemed to be, which only made her smile even more. She missed having cubs of her own to take care of, and she was glad that she had chanced upon Roko that day, a day that seemed so far in the past now. It made her feel useful when she had someone to look after.
"I hope I'm right too, Rokopelli," she whispered softly, nudging the other affectionately. "I'm sure if you just keep at it, it'll all work out." As the goddess of confusion spoke her affections, Koya's blue eyes shone with unshed tears, and she could feel her heart pounding against her chest. How long had it been since someone had truly loved her? Amesi loved her, she knew, but she wasn't one to say it often. Hearing it from Rokopelli was simply... heartwarming and fulfilling.
"I love you too, Rokopelli."
