"Um, well, to be polite, they certainly would..." Ahnasha answered, awkwardly running her fingers through the fur on her neck. "I never told them where they could send their letters, but your family name might be enough for a courier to figure it out. Honestly, I hope they didn't get one to them successfully, though. I would really rather it be us who are the first to tell them about it. We should have about a week to get ready, give or take a day or two."

Ahnasha leaned back her head, looking up to the stone ceiling and releasing a sigh. "I suppose it won't matter much either way. We're going to have to deal with the same things regardless. I know what the real problem is going to be. My family is going to want to get to know each and every one of yours. I'm sure most of them will be perfectly amiable; even Monderyn will probably be [i]acceptably[/i] friendly. But I know my parents, and if your father tries to push them away, they'll just try to get that much closer. They're so...irritating like that. Just so kind and forgiving to a fault. I mean, you saw how easily they forgave me. They see people like that and just see it as a challenge to 'spread the love of the Divines' to them. If your father called the guards on them, that, honestly, would probably be the easy way out. I doubt they would go [i]that[/i] far to keep trying after that. Oh, my parents are both quite stubborn, and my brother was too. I guess they passed that trait onto him."

Kaleeth gave a single nod, though she looked no less uncertain than before. "I...guess that is why I'm here, they do deserve to know. But...that still doesn't mean they're going to be happy about it. I mean, they could be glad to know I'm alive, but still end up mad at me for leaving once they know I'm safe. I wish I had something I could tell them to let them know that it was all worth it, from their perspective. I don't think my reasons for being happy will work on them."

Again, Kaleeth went briefly quiet and stared at the water. After a moment, she bared her teeth with at least slight irritation. "I still can't remember anything else about that day, but it's not like it would matter anyway. It's not like I could just tell them what I became, even if I did remember. It was a stupid idea, and I shouldn't have bothered going out of my way to come here."
