Hushed Willows [IPS] Homeward Bound

Ibis may have harbored trepidation upon seeing certain wolves again, but she needn't on Lily's account. The blackbird hastened to receive the half-familiar call, and when she spotted the girl standing by Gannet and a woman she didn't know, her pace increased by double, from a dignified trot to what was nearly a sprint.

Ibis! she called out on the wind, skittering to a stop a few tail-lengths away from the group. Quite unleaderlike of her, but proper manners could get stuffed, in this glorious moment. She gave her old packmate some happy licks on the cheek, if permitted, then drew back, beaming. Gannet. Good to see you both.

Lily then turned to the other, a young gray female. My name is Lily. Welcome to Elysium, she chirped warmly. Her eyes darted between the three of them, glowing with exuberance. What brings you all to the willows today?

Oh, say she's come back to stay! Lily knew that Seabreeze would be completely overjoyed by that particular outcome.
