The call that echoed through the snow covered meadows of Asteraia had it's Son lifting his creme, crimson and onyx muzzle from his paws. He could not believe it- after all this time, she had finally come? It had been at least two years since Lucero had seen his eldest sister, and regardless of that time, his dark tail was already throwing the snow this way and that. With and eagerness unmatched by anything beside the excitement Zelly gave him, the tri coloured wolf is pushing to his medium sized paws and bounding toward the call. It has been far too long, and it is a childlike wonderment and excitement that grips him and sends him flying through the meadows. Behind him he kicks up wave after wave of freshly fallen snow, and by the time he reaches them, his pink tongue is hanging out of the side of his mouth. He does not mind though, for while first he bumps his shoulder against the Steward's own, his one good eye is saved all for Gaia. Chocolate brown with strings of teal take her in, so grown, so much bigger than his memory can recall her as. He was but a child the last time they had seen one another, and though so much time and change has come to pass since then- their family is forever, and Lucero is so very elated to find her here at last.
Without a word he is rushing to her, and though some did not so openly show it, his family had always been just the opposite. Their Mother was prone to boughts of affection shown through gestures and actions more so than words. More often than not, words were not needed- such as now, as the year younger wolf pressed his creme and onyx chest to that of his sisters mottled reds. Family was truly everything to the once loner family that was now the royalty of Asteraia. For having come from nothing, they know well the strength of bonds and what it means to be together, to be family and strong as one. The interpack hunt they had been a part of had shown and perhaps reminded others of just that. All the different wolves had worked together and to their best advantages- the fast ones where speed was needed, and the strong where strength was needed. It had been a miraculous event he was glad to have been a part of- even more so with having finally met Zelly's father, Alpha of Taviora, and being with his Mother- though he had wished his older siblings had been there. Both his younger ones had been at the pup gathering in Taviora, and had watched on with wide and excited eyes while the older wolves did their deed. But now is not the time for wishful thinking, for Gaia is, in fact, in front of him in pure flesh and blood. A smile graces his handsome features as he looks upon his sister. While he is not quite yet full grown, though damn close, he is infact now taller than Gaia. Out of all his siblings he is tallest, though it is not much of a feat considering how small their Father is and large their Mother. But regardless of this, Lucero knows he will always be his sisters younger brother.
Glancing across to Delya at his side for a moment, his attention soons return to his sister. "Gaia, dear sister- the Mountains seem to be treatig you well." For while his siblings were not a part of Asteraia, they were no longer loners themselves. He knew both Cae and Gaia had found to call the Mountain their home, and he held no ill will toward it. They had made their decision before Iblis had ever become King, and then Rhae Queen- now Mother Queen- and, as they always and forever would be, the two were always welcome home. The scent of Cae is light upon his sisters pelt, and that is how he knows his older brother is with his older sister also. It makes him happy, then, to know that they have one another there, even if the rest of the family is lacking. Perhaps one day he may visit them upon the Mountain, in the rotation of his training it would be a few years away but a visit before then might be in order. And he voices just that. "I'd love to see the height of the place versus the flat we've got in abundance here." His tone is light and easy- Lucero wants Gaia to feel welcome as she always should at home. Something about her feels uneasy, almost unsure, and he would do anything to calm that in her. Anything at all.
