I was excited to see her, and I was pretty sure she was still milling about here. At the very least she didn’t run off like I did and I felt a little bad for not telling her I was running off with the Prince, but at the same time I didn’t want anyone to know what I was doing. After all it had been a propitious time for me to act on my goal the moment Aranck made me Jailor, and I wasn't’ going to make Lazarus suffer living here and way from his only living relative anylonger, so I acted. Granted the whole, me getting to where I needed to go hadn’t been easy. My eye wound made it hard and I was fighting fever and pain, it took a long while for me to heal and even longer for me to adjust to just having the one eye. I never thought anything of it, how hard it could be to miss just one eye, but I was getting used to the change in depth perception now. However, it wasn’t my eye that picked up my sister at first, but my ears.

They twitch at the sound of rustling brush, crunching snow and other assortments of racket. She certainly wasn’t being sneaky as I look in the direction of the noise, letting my single orange and green eye scan over the brush until finally I spot her charging forward and very soon blasting into the den’s clearing. I expect her to stop, and was giving her a wide grin all the while until I see her jump. Perhaps almost comically I start trying to scramble to my feet to get out of her way though I am far to slow and late with the snow, and soon find myself firmly placed beneath her as she lets out her odd greeting and then starts giving me a litteral tongue lashing to my face.

If it had been anyone else, I probably would have knocked them off and thrown them to the ground, luckily for her she was my sister, I loved her, and wouldn’t have expected anything else of her. I flail underneath her for a second, ”Hey! Ugh! Get off! Aza!” I bark finally rearranging my legs back under me to haul her ass off, though she’s still larger and heavier than me, and in the compromising position I am in I can’t shove her off as easily as I wish I could have. Though I find myself laughing slightly despite myself.

FInally she lets up, rolling off of me still grinning like a fool all the while, though I am grinning just as much back. Quickly popping up to my paws and batting at her in revenge and nipping a few times for good measure! I am still her OLDER sister, she should show me a little more respect. Not really. She asks me where I have been, telling me so much had happened in Iromar, I knew most of it. Pine’s take over, but beyond that I am sort of in the dark. ”Asteraia with Aster and Lazarus, I AM their ROYAL guard after all. Even if it’s not in Iromar anymore.” I say, puffing out my chest proudly. ”I heard most of what’s happened when Pine took over, but not much since, has something else happened?” Iromar was an ally to my pack to which I guarded, it was probably best I know if they were having issues and I could take those back to Aster if Pine hadn’t already told her. ”I’m here to hang with just YOU for a while. I miss you, Sis. Happy to see that dirt back Aranck didn’t dampen your spirits in the slightest.”
