The woman that stood on the distance wasn't even the shadow of what Maera rembered her mother as. The fierce eyes and strong frame that wrapped her figure had been replaced by a shaggy and unkept drape of red. While the reasons concealed behind her initial departure had never been directly explained to the girl, she had made her own assumptions: that she had gone for Valtyr, Jokull and Larus.
And now, the rose colored faccade she had used to excuse her absence crumbled as the teen noticed Tuwawi was alone.
As alone as herself it seemed.

And still as perceptive.
Without having made any other movement or pronouncing any other word, the attention of her wandering mother was suddenly summoned to her. It was then, after a silent exchange between their eyes, that the long lost mother began to run towards her -- and Maera that still felt terror gnawing at her bones and making her knees like jelly, remained rooted to the spot. Her maw falling open in awe as she recognized the same light (a little duller) and the same beautiful scar within her mother's features.

"You came back!"She whined as she recieved her mother's love with deep acceptance, her tail also wriggling furiously behind her as she too proceeded to smear a few messy kisses across Tuwawi's muzzle. Suddenly in between the madness of hugs and kisses her nose touched the cold, hard material of the collar and with a brusque movement she pulled away only to narrow her eyes with concern at the foreign object wrapped around her mother's throat.

"What the fuck?" she suddenly exclaimed, forgetting in the midst of the excitement that she was cursing in front of her own mother.
