Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adanna smiled at Huolongmai's reaction and the compliment. Being good at it was the most important part any job, especially within a military structure like the Firekin had. She was a decent guard but perhaps she could be an excellent sentinel.. but perhaps the mediocrity as a guard would be to her benefit if she was going to be a watcher. She had a say but she also was interested to know what the regents would say, too. It was unfortunate that it was a part of the story she had to leave out now, talking to Huolongmai was helpful in a way.

"That can be hard to do," she said knowingly, thinking of her own mother and the impact she and her secrets had on her, "I still haven't really escaped her shadow, it's followed me all the way from the red mountain. If you can forge your own path, embrace it."

"Oh."

Adanna glanced back up to the sky, suddenly reminded of why she had wandered away from the group to begin with.. but Huolongmai was right. She didn't get much time to ponder what might be going on in the sky but she had a pleasant conversation, that was enough to call it worthwhile for now.

"You're right, we should head back," she agreed, looking back at the younger lioness and smiling, "We're going to be out here a while, I hope we have more opportunities to chat."

She started leading the way back to the group, in a better mood now than she had been when she left it.

Fin.
