my sweet love ◇◇ joining

[nemhain.]

A family reunion. Nemhain might've found it heartwarming, if she had ever truly had a family in the first place. The fenghuang supposed that perhaps Rin could be considered to be her family, taking into account the fact that the two of them were quite clearly connected, but they still had an odd sort of relationship between the two of them. Rin still felt guilty about pulling Nem into her troubles, and Nem still stubbornly insisted that she didn't need anything of her own, so they were at a sort of stalemate, and while there was definitely caring there, Nemhain wasn't sure that could be considered familial. Shadows, and by extension personas, had no true family, however. They were simply manifestations of emotions, and when you were just a personality born from emotions and a need to change, who was your family supposed to be? One would be forgiven for thinking that perhaps all personas or shadows could be connected in a sort of familial bond, but unfortunately, more often than not, personas ended up fighting each other, usually through no fault of their own. After all, when two persona users were bickering, what better way to show that you were stronger than to summon your persona for a fight? Needless to say, these usually ended in injuries and hurt feelings on both sides, and made it so that personas didn't exactly feel like family, even though siblings could certainly end up fighting and hurting each other.

Regardless of all of this, Nemhain found herself drawn over to Cosette and the tiny wolf girl less because of the family reunion happening, and more because of the presence of a new person on the border of the group. After all, they had to make sure that everyone coming in was safe and willing to contribute. And while Nem highly doubted that this little crybaby child was particularly waiting to infiltrate their group and kill them all, she couldn't help but be the slightest bit cautious. She wouldn't put it past one of the gods hanging like clouds over Elysium to take the form of a child, as dishonorable as that was. Still, Nem showed no outward hostility as she landed nearby, the massive bird taking a few steps closer before she settled. She didn't get too close, knowing her voice was deep and booming enough to reach the two while also not wanting to frighten poor Quennel into oblivion. Waiting until the girl was done speaking to Cosette out of politeness, the persona then turned her gaze to Cosette, chirping deeply with an air of curiosity, "Lady Cosette... who is this? It is obvious that you know her." Nemhain was fairly sure she could put together the pieces herself without much issue, but she wanted to give Cosette and Quennel a chance to explain themselves.
