Isopia didn't know how she felt about having Tembovu answer Alysanne's question for her. Genuinely, she didn't. On the one hand, it made her feel childish, like she needed to be taken care of and answered for. But ... was that so bad? It was something she'd never experienced. With Volterra and Zero and basically all of her other interactions and encounters, she'd always been such an indomitable force that no one would even think that she needed assistance or wasn't sure of herself.

But with Aly and Tembovu...it felt as though they didn't see her that way.

And maybe that wasn't such a bad thing.

However as her cousin appeared, Tembovu merely said hello, and that tentative sense of being taken care of was suddenly shattered, because she wasn't expecting this, and no one was saving her from the sudden appearance of her cousin, and there was no easy or un-obvious way of indicating to Ros that everything got fucked up, and that she remembered it all.

"I didn't know you'd be here." She said, Tembovu's words (and his decided attempt to call ehr Mountain rater than Isopia falling on heavily distracted ears). Hubris, like Mbwene, happily trilled towards Chico, flailing joyfully in his direction.

Something in Iso's gut made her feel as though this welcome was now an unwelcome, because Ros knew her secret, and was a part of it, and who the fuck would want that sort of drama showing up on their doorstep? There was nothing for her to say. She couldn't ask Ros if it was alright that she was here, because Temb and Aly had already seemingly okay'd that decision, and it would be disrespectful to them to defer judgement to the shortest of those gathered. But her cousin's wordless greeting - no doubt she was thinking of the last time they were together - made Iso's ears ring.

Did the others notice how stale the air tasted, or how heavy it suddenly felt? Or was that just her?
