#and that's also what it means if a Vasyrus asks someone if they're another person's Claim

When she agreed to let her introduce her to the Eszenra's, after her own family had essentially cast her out, she hadn't expected to be met with a Claim so...large. Most Vasyrus traveled alone, or in pairs. Maybe groups of three, or occasionally four. Her family was even considered odd, in that they tended to travel a set path. Each smaller Nyra Claim meeting with another at what were more or less set intervals, to trade information and such.

She had heard the Eszenra's were especially strange in how they traveled...or, more accurately, how little they traveled. Maybe it was because there was already seven of them. Eight, on occasion, considering her uncle had mentioned that it wasn't uncommon for him to travel with them, as well.

...So Alsina herself would make nine. Would they really be willing to do such a thing?

While her uncle spoke to his friends-- evidently the elder two Eszenras, Temiron and Sevinya, a young man approached her. His wings thrumming in a way that was meant to be disarming. Likely because her own were buzzing behind her in a far more anxious drone.

"I know you are nervous, but...try to relax. I have yet to hear the full story, so I admittedly do not know yet what ails you. However, I can assure you that whatever it is, all of us will do what we can to help you...for however long you choose to stay with us."

"...If I'm allowed to stay with you in the first place, you mean. That is what my uncle is discussing with your...parents, I assume?"

"Hm? No, they discussed that a few days ago. If anything, they are already working on the plans for how to help you. Or catching up. Morastalla has been close with my parents a long time now, so they have a habit of getting carried away talking when he is with us. It may take a while, so...why not let me help you settle in? My name is Sivel."

He went on to point out each person, and teach her their names. Tell her a bit about them, and what she could expect from them. Patient and kind, when she still had trouble settling down, and sharing stories with her to help calm her down. Ranadi did the same, when he came over-- and Nesimah, shortly after.

Soon, Naya and Quella joined them as well, and before long, Alsina found her own voice joining with theirs. Sharing stories and experiences of her own. Talking about anything and everything that came to mind.

Though she seemed to click best with the first two that came over-- Sivel and Ranadi-- they were all easy people to get along with.

Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad. Perhaps her family forcing her away had turned out to be something good, after all?

She supposed only time would tell...but at least now, she could be hopeful.
