Stone Circle life is old there, older than the trees

Arlette lifted her head when she heard a familiar howl. The girl sprang to her feet and rushed to the borders. She was not often patrolling. Especially with her new siblings that she would often babysit. The girl missed her own siblings in those moments but knew that they were out there doing their own thing, at least, for Merrit. Arlette ran down the hill and instantly recognized her brother. She had recognized him by his howl. The female grinned and charged at him.

"MERRIT!! You're back!!!," she whined happily and then couldn't contain the happy tears as she went to tackle him to the ground. She was probably not successful as he was so big now and she was not. She snuggled into him and didn't want to let him go but she wanted to step back and study his face. Trying to see if he was here to stay or if this was just a quick greeting before continuing on his journey. "Missed you," she admitted in a whisper.
