BIOGRAPHY

"He's right, you know," Diya would say as she approached, pride thick in her voice as she came to a slow limping stop beside them, frowning at the ache in her side. Really, her wounds themselves hadn't been that extreme, just a few scratches down her side, the kicker had been the ah, blood bending. Squinting around Roan to the... feline? that sat on his other side. At least, she was pretty sure they were feline, they were a bit... light-colored, she couldn't tell which. Ah well, she could ask Roan later or maybe get a closer look at some point. Ah, absolutely the latter, if she asked Roan, he may question why she couldn't look for herself and that wasn't a conversation she wanted to be having. He'd fuss over something he couldn't fix and it would just be annoying and frustrating for them both.

Returning to the topic on hand, the feline would flick her long tail, humming lightly. "Others come and go and if we spend our time wondering what would happen if they weren't gone, we miss those that are here," she would add, riding off of what Roan had said. She would lean her head over, momentarily resting it against Roan's, a slight purr rumbling from her chest. "Every member of my family, except my brother who flits around like a ghost, are gone, disappearing into the waves or the wind. So, I moved on, I came here. I moved on and made myself my own new family. You can't..." she paused, finally lifting her head from Roan's and staring down into the water with clouding eyes. "You lift your head up and keep going, if not for your sake, then for theirs. Imagine the guilt they would feel knowing you break your heart for them?" She would tap a paw lightly against the ground, gathering her thoughts, trying to get to the point of it all. "Crazy things happen here, so don't give up hope. But don't let that hope hold you back, you have to keep moving forward." and okay, now that she'd got to the end of it, she realizes she really should have introduced herself. Yikes, it was a bit too late for that now, wasn't it?
