Broken Antler Fen Pretty Thoughts

It had been so long since someone called for her from the border that Maia almost missed it. It took a little time for someone to return to watch the kids, and as soon as she could, Maia hustled her way in the direction the call had come from. It sounded familiar, but she couldn't figure out why, and she picked at the question the entire way there.

Wait, CORI?! Maia only froze for a second in surprise, and then her face split into the first truly joyful smile she'd had in.... well, a while! She took the last short distance at a run and moved in immediately for a hug.

Oh my gosh, HI!! What are you doing here!? I mean, I'm glad you are here! But I definitely wasn't expecting! Wow! She stepped back to finally give him some air, tail swaying happily behind her.
