Jessie felt bad for the younger woman. She was constantly running from her own demons inside of her, fighting the darkness but when she was Lilya's age, the only darkness she faced was the death of her parents. It only became worse when she entered the lore to look for her dearest sister to tell her the news. She did not regret her decision though, Jessie met some of the most influential wolves in her life through staying in her own personal hell. Soon, hopefully, that would change, and she would be living the ideal life with Drestig.  The young girl reminded her much of herself from the past. Always trying to revert the attention off of herself and never focusing on her. That was what led to trouble in her life and Jessie hoped that it did not end up the same for her. The Tainn woman would not be rude though.

She cleared her throat before responding, ”I hope so. My...mate and I plan to start a pack as soon as we get enough followers. So, if you ever change your mind about wanting a pack, feel free to find us, we're moving north.” Jessie remained relax, having no intentions of striking out against the other female. However, she did have something else she wanted to add, ”You know, sometimes the best way to get away from your demons is to start anew. They can only bother you if you allow them to.” And, of course, there was always safety within numbers. Jessie had always been a strong advocate for that. It was why she was so desperate to get their pack moving along. She wanted her children to be safe. The Tainn was fully aware that two parents would not be able to take care of their pups all on their own, especially when they became curious and started to venture out.

Despite the woman's claims of a dark past, she seemed to try to keep a smile on her face. That was probably worth more than any words she could ever say. It came as no surprise to her that the other woman denied her offer. It was a disappointment, to say the least, but Jessie understood that it as no use being miserable when everyone else around you could notice. One certainly did not want to go into a pack feeling worthless. The Tainn simply smiled back, emerald eyes sparkling. She nodded her head but did not verbally reply to Lilya's amendment. There was nothing she could say to make the other woman feel better about her situation. The woman's last words hit a little bit too close to home for the widowed woman. A sad smile came across her lips, a strained laugh leaving them.

Her jaws parted so that she could speak, ”I know a thing or two about that.” So had lost so many and she had been lost until she finally came to find her sister all those years ago. It was when he life finally started but she knew that the pain and the loss would never end. Never the less, many had taught her that even if the past came back to haunt you, it was best to live in the present. Of course, it had taken plenty of self-work before she could even admit that to herself and Jessie knew that she was still not at the prime of her happiness. Perhaps it had past or it was yet to come, but she had to continue living, especially for the little lives growing inside of her. A glance at the sky told her that she had certainly overstayed her welcome in these lands and her lover would be wondering why she had yet to return. Green orbs turned back to the other woman, her lips twisting in apology, ”I really should be going. My mate will be wondering where I am. Is there anything else you want to know?”If not, then she really should get going.
