Moonspear it seems that we weathered the storm

Fatigue threatened her now as her pawsteps had slowed, and familiarity encompassed her surroundings. She blinked it away, licking her lips after her drink and turning her ears to the reply that sounded. The last while felt like such a blur, though it was just her mind working in overdrive, she convinced herself. It had been one large piece of what she had wanted for so long, but now, perhaps it could only mark a new beginning--a renewal in her focus, perhaps.

When a presence came upon her first (sooner than she had expected Osiris to meet her), she instinctively tensed, but turned to behold Desdemona, shortly after she called back for her. The pale Drakru turned from the waterway, and softly swayed her tail as she looked her dark comrade over--hoping that she was feeling well enough. Long time no see, she chuffed, though there was that tiredness on her voice that bothered her secretly. Then, she caught sight of the agouti son surfacing from the wilds around them. Opalia's stance shifted, much more mindful than before.

With a slow exhale, she prepared her answer. I did, she replied first, tipping her nose down further with a glance towards Desdemona before Osiris became the singular focus. She wondered what he had relayed to his mother, and what passed between them already. Hence, her haste (after she had dallied so badly just after Dacio's death, after all): so not to leave them puzzling over her. Presently, she was with medics, on the mend--having been attacked by a woman in the bleeding forests not far from the coasts. Part of a pair striking a claim there, evidently.. the Drakru gestured vaguely with her snout. The forests were far enough from the mountain to not be of immediate concern for them here, but worth knowing, should they have scouts and other wayfarers. Per her knowledge, and time living at the coast, none had marked the place as their own in her memory. That was how Sugar had found her for me, she detailed, giving pause there before unpacking the rest.
