[nemhain.]

Although Nemhain had never met Kade, she did know of the tiger, thanks to Rin's helpful memory banks. However, this didn't mean that she knew the female well. Her and Rin had never been close, which didn't give Nem very much information to go on, not to mention the fact that Kade had seemingly been absent from regular Elysium life as of late. So, when Nemhain sensed Rin nearby and headed for the female she was connected to, she found herself vaguely surprised, and perhaps a bit worried. Although really it was up in the air whether or not the worry was genuinely from the persona, or just an extension of Rin's own worried emotions. Either way, the fenghuang found her way over to Rin's side, settling down beside the magna by folding her long legs underneath her, talons digging far into the earth. She observed Kade slowly, taking in the faded pelt, the sunken in eyes, and the overall exhaustion that hung over the feline. Nemhain didn't need to be connected to her to know she must've been feeling awful, or at least had been up until recently. The sheer waves of exhaustion coming off of Kade almost made Nemhain want to sleep, and the massive bird didn't even need any sleep to survive.

Taking a deep breath, Nem shifted her tail feathers a bit behind her, listening to the soothing clang of the little balances she had attached to her, like piercings. Once Rim had asked her question, Nemhain spoke up, lowering her voice as she chirped so that she wouldn't surprise Kade or upset her further, "Miss Kade... you look exhausted. Weary. Has something happened to you?" A small frown pulled at the bird's beak as she spoke, seemingly trying to figure out what exactly had happened to the tigress while she had been distant. In her pondering, Nem realized, with a rather rude start, that she hadn't even introduced herself. She had just appeared beside Rin in a wave of feathers and air, and had started talking to Kade as if she knew her. Bowing her head a little apologetically, Nemhain quickly rectified her mistake, adding on, "Ah... I apologize. I didn't even introduce myself. I am Nemhain... I am connected with lady Rin. That is how I knew your name." It also felt good to give an explanation of why she was able to pull Kade's name from the air, since she knew Kade wasn't feeling terribly well, and she didn't want to add paranoia into that mix as well.
