no rush on this, fiore! just felt it was a good time to get the ball rolling on the alliance with the next sigrun pride.

Vermeda had been quiet in their searches to find their lost members, and Talisa's close loved ones, it had been on her mind quite fervently to make a trip to the Cove. It was a strange feeling to be visiting and for Morrigan to not be the one leading it but at least it was currently in the hands of an ally. Or so hoped it would be once she left. Calling for @Úlla in the hopes of finding that same kinship and solidifying it further. The Sigrun had been a wonderful and powerful ally to have and while she could have made the assumption that this other Sigrun pride was already one, it was better that she get it straight from the horse's mouth.

the scent of a friendly pride is a welcoming one. with the sudden collapse of her kin's home and the unease it brings, ulla hopes to see friendlier faces show up on her border. she hasn't spoken to @Talisa, but she's heard of her from her kin. yet still, ulla greets the woman with a chuff as she arrives. greetings, i suppose you know who i am as i of you ulla says. she has a feeling she knows what talisa is here for. a re-alliance is necessary now that there is tension brewing in the distance. having a longstanding pride such as vermeda on her side is cause for hope. and a necessary gesture to make in times of uncertainty.

OOC: Hope you don't mind! Ciri is just being nosey - if you want to delete/skip, lemme know <3

Cirilla had become quite attentive to the sounds and calls made at the border to her home. She had no reason to be other than innocent child-centred curiosity - unless she considered her growing want to be a Queen someday, like her mother. The patrolling of borders and tending to requests for attention were something that came part and parcel of the job. Cirilla watched quietly as her mother shifted and moved away from the comforts of their den. Looking to her brothers, who appeared to be sleeping soundly, the brown-pelted princess rose to her paws and slipped away, following in her mother's pawsteps.

Cirilla was quite content in shadowing her parent as she walked just a few minutes behind. Rosé eyes studied how the scent markers moved appropriately, and how different markings had been made to signal the border to both strangers, members and allies. The Princess was lucky, really, to have a home as beautiful as what she did. Her thoughts were running away with her when the sound of @Talisa at their borders snapped her attention back to reality. Tiny paws quickened their pace, keen to reach her mother should she need assistance. Though as she arrived and appeared out of the foliage, it seemed as though things were all in order. The child looked to Talisa first, then to her mother, and then back to Talisa. Hi! The Princess exclaims, walking alongside her mother and taking a seat, wrapping her tail around her paws neatly. Welcome to da' Cove. She grins, hoping that she was getting this stuff right. Whatever this 'stuff' was.

Yes, Úlla Sigrun. Talisa lowered her head respectfully, happy that she could save the hassle of a formal introduction. At least all these years into all these new folks in Amaryllis she didn't have to address that she was Nymeria's sister anymore. Folks actually knew who she was now. I came -- her words started off quiet as @Cirilla came into the gathering and her attention stolen quickly. Children. That always seemed to rapt her attention like a bomb had exploded. She gravitated towards them, enamored with their youth and curiosity. Their imagination. Thank you, she offered with a smile and bowed her own head to the girl to offer a physical thanks before turning her attention gradually back to @Úlla. It is a long overdue trip but with the Lagoon falling, it is all the more necessary that I come and see if we can make an alliance between Vermeda and the Cove. Between the Valour and the Sigrun, as we have in the past. Not that she didn't believe that the Sigrun didn't know of their kindred relationship but keeping that bond as tight as possible would help both families down the line with any trouble that came their way.

@Cirilla is as spirited as always, quickly following in her pawsteps and greeting @Talisa with her words. cirilla is learning about diplomacy, one which ulla thinks it important for any child of hers. bear was a sovereign of the lagoon before, so why shouldn't any of her children not be given an opportunity to be one in the future? out of the three of them, cirilla has the chance to be among leadership, if she desires to do so. with that thought in mind, ulla has a plan. but she's not sure if, for now, talisa will be the one she can ask to assist. by the younger woman's greeting, ulla can see why her kin has maintained a friendly connection with the valours. of course, the cove will certainly value a strong alliance with the brook. ulla nods, happy that this alliance will be an easy one. she then turns half of her attention to ciri, before adding talisa, this is one of my children, cirilla. i hope you don't mind her intruding.
