was i ever the one - open; cleaning

The sudden voice speaking up startled her, flames searing to life around her in a sudden flash before they dulled down. Embarassment flashed through her gaze as she turned to look at Vigenere. "Ah...sorry.." She breathed out quickly as she turned to face him in the open house. She was struggling to come to terms with herself here. Her own strength,  the role she was to play in Tanglewood. All of it. But she listened to him. And he was correct in her fears and her worries. Yes, it was hard to lead especially when she hardly knew anything about the group in which she lived in. She was a foreigner after all. Fresh from a different place and she was thrust into leadership of a place that was vastly different. Didn't think like her, didn’t look into the same looking glass of her world. So that meant she had to change something, right? "Joy? She hopes. She just....doesn't want to mess things up. She didn't learn much under Aurum and she had her disagreements with different situations. She feels like she just wasn't ready for this." Her eyes lowered to the ground, blackened by her paws before she lifted up her eyes to peer at Arrow.

A constant in her life now, someone she leaned on. She didn't want to seem weak around Arrow though. A small sigh left her muzzle as the woman gently bumped her and she lowered her head to brush it against her lower jaw. "She swears that she is trying not to. She promises and...sorry for waking her." Arrow deserved to rest after her whole ordeal. Especially the stress she was feeling.
