[Tena M.]

✯ — female. snowbound. sand cat. demdji. tags.

Tena turned with a blink towards the serval.  He, more than her, was a little odd; servals had short fur, didn't they? But he was unbothered as well.  Not the mention, he blended well.  She smiled lightly, taking note of his own observations.  A good skill to have. Tena, given the past, kept her head on a swivel, always watchful, always noting.  The real oddity was the hellhound.  Was he a quiet guy or was there another reason he was not speaking and that Killua had not introduced him?  He didn't look like the shy type, but she had the feeling he wasn't one to talk either.  He was here for Killua, for whatever reason and she'd let him be.  "No, not really.  I spent quite a bit of time in a desert that'd been frozen over; snow just about everywhere." A curse, she'd been told, though she couldn't remember from what or why.  "Lost it's marvel quickly, to be honest, though sometimes it still messes with my head."

"Yes I do, I'm glad I ended up here," she chuckled.  Even if her heart yearned for those she'd been separated from, she knew in the end, she may be happy here.  Maybe.  At least a little happy.  Never fully.  That's how things usually went after all.

The feline's brow creased briefly in confusion at the younger arrival, blinking.  Val.  "I knew your father," yes, that was it.  Tena just barely remembered a pair of little lions, Anakin's children, when she aided his escape from a previous home of hers.  "But I don't believe we've officially met, so it's nice to meet you, Val." He was certainly larger than she recalled, but then it'd been some time.
