Swiftcurrent Creek let the rain wash away the pain

For @Bazi, @Scimitar, and maybe @Kieran (if you want.)

It had taken longer to get home than Kaskara had anticipated. The group that had left had gathered another member and the four wolves walked much slower on the return trip. Because of this, Kaskara had no spare time to look for a new land, though she wasn't sure they would want to leave now that Bazi was returning. The journey had taken nearly five days and Kas would be glad to finally rest her head on familiar soil. She knew that Falwasi, Kieran, and Bazi would be happy for that, as well.

When they reached the borders, Kaskara nuzzled Falwasi with a tired smile and bid her to rest. She also nuzzled Kieran, though only for a short moment, and welcomed him to stay, if he wanted. If he wanted to go rest, she would not hold that against him. Then she turned to Bazi and gave her a warm nudge, wondering how she felt about this. Getting here was hard enough, but seeing Scimitar again would bring both joy and pain for the white dove. Kas would be there for as long as her friend wanted, either to act as a buffer or a referee. Whatever Bazi needed, Kas would do.

After a moment, she lifted her muzzle to call for Scimitar. They were home, and he would need to meet them at the borders. She let the howl die down without mentioning Bazi. She wanted it to be a surprise, though she didn't know if that would be a good or bad one. Either way, she seated herself next to Bazi and waited for Scimitar's appearance.
