Emberwood never coming down

is it lavender's silhouette that comes over the horizon; her heart fills with gladness as she nears. she is unchanged, and yet utterly different, all at once. regardless of anything, though, she is still her sister, and the huntress steps forward with a wagging tail and joy-lit features to embrace her sister, drawing her into her chest and sighing a content wound of relief. 

"lavender," she greets finally when their embrace comes to an end. she takes a step back as to better observe her younger sibling, smile still etched on her face. "I've missed you. easy said you had kids! how are you?" she plants a kiss on the girl's cheek, then, far too overcome with gladness simply to stand there and stare for long.
