The conversation was quiet, and polite. Although, Elsa was thoroughly surprised by Dovahkiin revealing she was new. How could such a thing happen? Those who have just arrived are usually not bold enough to venture so far into Helovia. She mentions something about a Basin member, and Ghost. Well, at least one of those she appreciated. That's good. "Ghost leads the Falls, which is where I live." She replies softly. Edgar returns then, squawking and flapping like crazy. Apparently whatever he had seen was important.

Just then, a familiar figure comes flopping on over. Shida's there, slipping and tripping on her attempt to get to Elsa. A shocked looked crosses across her face, but that's the least of her worries. Another thing follows behind her, a black fluffy pup. Apparently Shida had managed to get a Hellhound... which she "lovingly" named princess. Nice, she's practically her fathers daughter on drugs, with two extra shots of adrenaline. Elsa never thought she'd meet one anymore out of their mind than Oxy, but apparently when you mix him with Elsa, you get Shida. Although, Elsa can't help but feel a dark feeling shadow this little bit of delight. How had she missed this much in her daughters life? She had gotten a companion, which looked to be at least a couple weeks old, and Elsa just now found out about that? She's a horrible mother. "I'm happy for you." She means her words, but they crack and fall beneath the weight of her guilt.

As if things can't get worse, Oxy isn't far behind. She hadn't seen him since the twins were born, and still couldn't gauge if he actually wanted them. Their encounter at their births was not exactly friendly or nice. Did he still "love" her? Did he even want these children? Or was he doing it just to satiate her anger until their old enough and he'll literally jump ship? All of those were really bad questions to dwell on. Feeling his muzzle hit her face was a little comforting, but she still couldn't stop herself from feeling inadequate. She had failed as both a mother and a lover. It wasn't her intention to give him children, if he didn't want them. Though, she knew that she had to stick with the children and let him walk free if he wanted. It was not her place to keep him here. Although, she was impressed he managed to get here without slipping about like his daughter.

Murphy's law however, seems to really like Elsa today. Again, another familiar figure bounds over. This time, the pale one, Auriel arrives. She was not as thrilled as Shida at all. In fact, she gets quite defensive. Edgar settled down upon her head, feeling her happiness dwindle into a pit. "Auriel..." Elsa can't talk anymore and steps back from the group. Looking to the mare that Auriel had dubbed Cheska, she offers a weak, but sincere smile. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter." Her words are quiet and broken now. Although she feels a little relieved to know her daughters have not been out romping alone. Doesn't make her any better of a mother. Shida begins blabbing away again about her achievements, and Elsa smiles. How had she let everything slip through the cracks? "Make sure you get on the boat." She reminds her children. If anything, that's the best advice she has given them.
