Naomi continued to stare at the bags, before something odd happened. Something that should have happened well before now.
She laughed.
It was a tired laugh more than anything, but one that carried genuine amusement and a weary sort of happiness along with it. It had been awhile for her, but she was willing to drag herself back from whatever bleakness had been clouding her thoughts, no matter how long it took. Not just for everyone's sake, but for hers as well.
"So you're keeping me company, just the two of us in the woods?" It did sound like something The Children would have wanted to help out on. Most likely not without a whole lot of teasing and references to romantic scenes, but the trio had a habit of doing that to everyone in a daily basis; Minamoto in particular was usually their favorite victim, but there was no doubt that his charges truly loved him. One perhaps a little more, but that was her own business, and Naomi had chosen to keep such observations to herself.
