(8/10) Different. Hah... that was one way of putting it. Elsheba nodded along, reaching up to wring some water out of her own dreads, since they'd soaked up quite a bit when she ducked under. A part of her wanted to try catching those bugs, just to keep her hands busy, but the other didn't want to turn away from speaking to her niece. Great niece. Goddess, but that was difficult to think about!
An idea though? The older Aishan listened, tilting her head curiously, though... when asked the question she felt herself smiling. It was sweet, to see this younger girl protective of her grandmother. "After so long, I just miss my sister." She said, honestly, feeling her heart tug in her chest. "I think a part of me will always feel pained that we were parted for such a long time, but I don't want to focus anymore on how it started. I just want to fix it."

Enya nodded her head and reached out for Elsheba's hand to squeeze it. "I think you can make it better. I don't know everything, just what what I've picked up on over the years, but if you tell her that then you'll have a good start." She gave the other Aishan's hand a good, solid squeeze before taking a step back. "I love my family - all of my family - so if you mean what you say I can take you to her." If she'd honestly thought Elsheba was a threat to Lumikani or any of Kiros' residents she would do something here about it, but...Well, all Enya could see in her eyes was a hurt sister. What if something happened between her and Pyanka? Wouldn't she want someone to bring them back together?
"I was planning on staying another month in Zinris, but I can always come back once you're settled. I left in a rush anyway....So I shouldn't probably see her myself, anyway, to apologize."

(9/10) Well. Elsheba certainly hoped she could help. Zayana seemed to think the same, that reuniting was a good thing, but Elsheba still worried that she'd be barging in on her sister's life, opening old wounds that had healed. But Enya was reassuring, and the squeeze to her hands made her relax and smile back, a bit overwhelmed at the open warmth.
Her sister really had raised a kind, loving family, hadn't she? So far, both members she'd come across had been open and kind, and it only made her affection for her sister stronger.
But taking her to Kiros? Elsheba's gasped and squeezed Enya's hand back, but gazed at her intently. "Well I - I'd hate to cut your trip short, but it'd help me ... quite a bit." She pondered a moment, then offered a self deprecating, but amused smirk. "At least then I might not find myself somewhere off in Oba somehow on accident."

Enya just blew a raspberry and waved her free hand. "Don't worry about it! I'll be back someday soon so it's not a bother." Of course when she left she'd planned on going to Tendaji proper, but a stop back home to smooth things over with the family wouldn't hurt. She wouldn't be surprised if Mama Pyrrha wasn't waiting at the dock for her...
"Honestly? That's what I'm worried about." Straight to the point, Enya smirked and slipped her hand away from Elsheba's. Now that she was free she crouched down once again to resume her 'hunt'. "I know just what ship to take and how long it'll be to get there so it's just easier this way. Until we go, though...mind helping me finish up?"

(10/10) What a charming young lady. Elsheba beamed at her, unable to get past the notion that this was her little sister's granddaughter. Goddess, what a strange life she lived... but then she huffed and flicked some water at her with a playful bark of 'Be nice to your great aunt!, as she bent down again to try her hand at catching these little bugs.
