Ares snorted, staring over to her 'uncle' as he lanked over, ignoring everyone as the lazy cheetah spoke. And then she hardened her gaze as he continued to speak. "Mom isn't Pretty-mother. She isn't Elsweyr." Elsweyr was pretty-mother, someone who loved Ares and had loved her even as a monster.

"I'm here because I belong here in the swamp, Elsweyr simply welcomed me in, as did Dad. I didn't know my sister Ana was here when I returned from Palm Glades." She looked away, looking back to Arrow. She stepped over, deciding to stand next to her mother.
