Gluskap's arrival had caught Caiaphas off guard -- so much that as of late she had doubled her vigil along the strand. The brood's appearance (although a welcome one) had been the last thing in the world the waif had expected -- and it lent an erratic and excitable air to the already galvanic wretch.

And there it was, though she had not counted on it -- the scent of Kaliska sharp and familiar on the lashing wind. Caiaphas shuddered under the veil of pressing cold and rain, and with a cackle set sail along the strand -- a jubilant ay yah yip resounding down the borders. Seeing Kaliska's wiry frame only seemed to escalate the fervor of her gait -- in so that the little grey blur-thing came headlong down the bosk-way to greet her sibling.

Despite the deluge that hindered her progress across the crisp-frosted sand, Caiaphas felt her stride lengthen wildly -- her angular shoulders opened to full span and her gallop extended to its' full fruition. She was unbalanced, wildly barreling forwards like a swaying boulder -- and so lacking was her control over her momentum she had no time to alter her course as Kaliska rose from the haze to meet her.

The result was a resounding smack of angular bones and coarse fur -- her eyes fell shut as she felt the collision rock her and propel her backwards. The sudden impact would have been laugh worthy were it not for the pain that followed; with a scowl Caiaphas collected herself from whence she had been flung by Kaliska's velocity, and delivered the dark and impish creature a heavy gaze of disapproval. She sat in the cold sand and rubbed a broad paw against a new egg-sized bump on her skull, continuing to sulk outwardly. "Even your re-appearance causes me sizable pain."

A wave of relief briefly sparred with the onslaught of head-pain as Kaliska revealed she had no intention of wandering off -- though Caiaphas was quick to try to suppress any visible sign of it. While she had been pleasantly surprised (and briefly pleasantly PAINED) to encounter her sibling again, any visible signal of affection would likely open her to ridicule -- Kaliska was intrepid enough she likely caught on, and Caiaphas quickly looked to the ground.

Gluskap's absence did not worry her -- yet not for the same reasons it did not worry Kaliska. Caiaphas knew the male to be quite strong in both physical attribute and conviction, and imagined he was not far. "Good." She puffed out her chest, eying the female slyly. "There's a pack not far from here."

She was relieved her emotions had not been detected by her sibling -- what a cruel game that would have been -- and swallowing a sigh she looked up along the strand where the interminable ocean dwelled vast and uninterrupted by shade.

"The pack is beyond the bluffs." She motioned towards the misty cliffs, which were barely discernible in the hazy rain. She collected herself then, rising to her feet in a brisk gesture -- dropping her head then to shake the accumulated water from her pelt. "Follow closely, and don't say anything -- the Alpha is a real dick." She nearly giggled to herself at the new game she had just devised -- and without looking to see if her dear sister had rose to follow her, Caiaphas stalked assuredly to the Sound.

The two would chat amicably for some time -- Caiaphas would (reservedly) show the dark sibling her homeland -- and at length the two would depart ways.
