Stone Circle Coming home

This thread is set for tomorrow, but otherwise it's fair game

Eden was careful to rub the scent of her suitors from her coat. She'd had a busy few days, for sure, but as she began to return to normal, she wondered how things had been at home. She hadn't seen her sister @Alyssum, nor had she seen @Grayday since she'd left without goodbyes, and she was ready for a reunion of sorts. She had things she needed to get off of her chest, and they seemed to be two of the only ones she knew well enough to share them with.

Ally lifted her head from her paws and took a deeper breath, just to be sure that her snout was right. Eden had returned from her journies! Alyssum stood and began to run toward her sister, mad giggles streaming from her mouth as her tongue whipped in the air. Then, before she knew it, she was standing in front of Eden. The giddiness had made her dizzy, so she swayed between each snort and chuckled. "Eden! I missed you! Where've you been? Are you hurt?" Ally walked around her sister, examining her body and picking out each harsh scent, before finding her way to the fresh wound in her sister's throat. "Hey, hey are you okay? What happened EJ?"

Staying vague, for plots

Grayday himself was just returning home from his tumultuous adventure to the coast. A lot had gone on, and the tired male thought it best to think about other things, for the time being. There would be time later to process. For now, he had to find Adeline and apologize - give her the gift he'd brought.

But when he saw Eden, something told him he should veer off course - just for a moment - and see how the woman was doing. Before he reached her, however, a white blurr beat him to the punch, already swarming and hounding at her sister. Day chuckled at the sight, and after a short pause - during which he heard Ally's worried exclaimation - he surged forward once more.

"What happened?" he demanded, a little aghast. Eden seemed like a nice and agreeable wolf, and he found it hard to believe that she could've deserved this.

Eden swayed away from her sister and nudged her away from the wound. She turned and smiled at Day before getting back to explanations. "Its nothing, really. I just got into some trouble around some border lines. It's my fault, nothing to worry about." Her eyes flickered as she looked down and shook the harsh memories away. 
"Enough about me, Ally girl. How've you kept busy since I left?" Then she looked to Day: "And you? What've you been occupied with? Anything interesting?" She was happy to be back with her family again and away from the wilds.

Ally giggled as the heat rushed to her cheeks. "What could I do? I just missed you", she whispered. Since her exile, there'd been nothing on her mind but finding her sister, so during her travels, Ally found herself to be empty. Eden had become her life, and without her, she would become nothing.

Well - he was still worried about that wound, but she seemed fine. She said she was, and she had her sister to see to it. Day decided to let it go, though he resolved to keep an eye on her, just in case the wound became infected.

"I actually just got back from the coast," he said in reponse to her question, after smiling at Ally's sweet (and slightly weird) admission. "Were you gone long? Where did you go?" he wondered, sitting down and placing Addie's gift down beside him.

"I, um, wow...where did I go? Great question." She searched her mind for an excuse to her absence. How was she to explain her whereabouts without a sure moment of humiliation. In truth, she'd wandered along through the wilds in search of suitors. She was sure their scent was still bound into her thick coat.
"I should ask you the same thing! Where have you been?" She then turned to Ally and coddled her beneath her chin as she awaited his response.

Alyssum kept slient, but on the inside she'd known exactly where Eden had disappeared to; she hadn't done a very good job of covering the lingering scents. But Ally knew that if she were to bring it up more issues would inevitably arise, so she remained covered in Eden's thick blanket of fur, resting against the warmth of her sister's throat.

At Eden's tight-lipped response and Alyssum's uneasy silence, Day finally realized what his nose had been trying to tell him this whole time. Her heat had come, apparently, and while Day wasn't sure she was still fertile, the presence of a only-slightly-familiar male might've been making her nervous. Taking a hit, Day hurried to answer so that he could get out of her way.

"Just to the coast," he repeated, leaving out the part about meeting Lotte. If they'd been closer, or under different circumstances, he might've been convinced to share - but it was not to be. "I visited another pack to see a friend." Mostly true, though there had been other reasons for his leaving. As far as Day was concerned, only Steady had rights to that information, and maybe Adeline, if she would allow him to explain. On that note.

"Well, I need to go find Addie," he said quickly, already turning away. "Y'all have a good one."
