In a different situation perhaps Vela would have intervened; placed a hand on her shoulder or called her name. Perhaps it was naïve of her to think they were in relative safety here, but she saw no reason to call attention to it. While she waited, her eyes glanced around them, just in case. To anyone watching it would hopefully just look like a natural break in conversation.

Vela's eyes dipped sadly at Tress' answer. She knew well the feeling of not being able to return home, though her situation was different. While her clan was gone and she had been forced to build herself a new home, a new family, at least she was in familiar territory. Not impossible, she said with some conviction. Huntress had moved on from that life and hopefully, one day, she'd feel able in herself to return.

She wished to say more but the conversation moved on. Vela simply smiled and nodded her head. I would like that. And I can tell you more about the Fallow Mire and how one time Dorian got sucked into a bog. He complained about the smell for days.
