This probably means that you will cut down the number of times I have tagged you. :D

Unlike Maia, Wraen was not prone to panicking. Figuratively speaking, you could throw her in a pool of cold water, she would probably be confused and gulp down some water first, then she would resurface and take a look at the situation, weigh out her options and start swimming. She could get frustrated, if things seemed to be hitting a brick wall, no matter, how hard she tried, even shed a tear in anger or explode, if everything spiralled down. But this was as close to "panicking" as she would ever get. Osprey and Dante had raised her to be a survivor.

And, hopefully, with more life experience, Maia would take some of Wraen's pragmatic approach to unexpected situations as well. Now, however, as Wraen was running down the slope, taking dangerous short-cats and with her feet slipping on the rocks and mud (it had rained recently), all she could think about was her joy of having her sister by her side again. No more loneliness, companionship, friendship and adventures. Galore of them. 

And finally she caught sight of an equally excited form barrelling towards her. She met Maia half-way and unable to slow down that instant, crashed into her and tumbled to the ground. Despite the bruises that would remind about them later, Wraen was grinning at her sibling and her tail was wagging.
