It was the scent of fresh blood that brought him to what seemed to be a slight clearing within the woodland. It seemed to be a clearing due to the afternoon sunlight that broke through the canopy of the treetops. The shade was pleasant enough but the sunshine was something else entirely, and quietly did Cae enjoy the feel of it upon his fur. For that was his nature still, as it always had been, though he was not timid the son of Iblis and Rhae was simply quiet. Perhaps thoughtful would be a good word to put along with him as well. He had only ever known his younger brother Viserys to be similar in nature to himself, for all his other siblings seemed full of boundless energy that knew no stopping point.

Even now his mismatched eyes can see Gaia still chasing butterflies, or something like that, in grassy areas while he stayed by Rhae and watched from the comfort of her presence. He and his Mother had shared a special affection, though truly Rhae loved all of her children very much, all the blood and pack ones alike. He could still remember the scent of the grasslands he had once known as home, much the same as he knew the scent of pine from the woodland pack that bordered this very forest. Memories of life are interrupted, however, when a scent he had not really registered before hits him smack in the muzzle. With eyes wide with disbelief, his aged paws quicken their gait and his breath is almost entirely knocked out of him when he finally spies her.

She is the same orange lass that he remembers, though perhaps he spies a bit of a whitening here or there, for he himself knows he has paled much over the years. His chocolate and russet remain, however the pale cream that once adorned him was truly a soft white now. The silence stretches on as he comes to a stop several long yards away from the boulder, hardly believing his eyes and the Fates that brought them back together on this day. Cae can just barely recall the last he had seen Gaia, but no matter how much time had passed he would always be glad to see his littermate. "Gaia." He almost doesn't know what to say, so he pauses, looks down to the half eaten squirrel as his stomach gives a rather audible growl at the same moment, his eyes of chocolate and teal finding her own most similar gaze before a small smile is given forth. "Are... you going to finish that?"

He felt lame even as the words left his muzzle, but he really was very hungry, and now that he had suddenly come across his sister, after all this time, it was almost a little over whelming. His family had always meant a lot to him, but something had changed after Rhae had lost to that white wolf and passed away as a result. He hadn't known himself, and had simply wandered away from everything, and everyone he had previously known. And now here he was, so many years later, only to find perhaps the wolf he wanted to see most of all beside his parents, which was not something possible. His light paws bring him closer then, so that she wouldn't have to get up and for the simple sake of being close to family once more.
