Firefly Glen the metronome

The last few miles of sleep had been more treacherous than she was used to; unable to rest, she instead embarks towards Firefly Glen. It is early morning when she arrives, marked by the purplish glow that only this early hour can provide. Flurries gather ‘round her but do not stick (to her or the ground; both are too warm).

As a woman, she has grown into her stride. She remembers her littermates as children, how they walked, how they spoke. She’s changed so much she’s confident that these things she remembers are still accurate.

She pauses at the border to let out a low courtesy howl, a simple I am here, with the hope of finding company on an otherwise miserable and dreary morning.

Tag for reference!

Osiris had still been asleep when his sister howled, although her voice caused him to stir. When he came to and realized what was happening, Osiris carefully removed himself from @Leta's side. Once he was sure that she was still asleep and that he had not woken her, Osiris set off towards Vega in a motivated clip. 

"Vega!" he called once he saw her from afar, his eyes still rife with sleep. "You're here!" It wasn't often that he showed his enthusiasm, but his sister was a special exception. Once he was close enough, he pulled her into a wolfish hug. 

"It's been so long— how are you?" he asked, pulling away from their embrace and giving her a once-over. She looked well.

A cameo for now (bc nosey Āzon), but you can tag him if ya want to notice him! ;3

Āzon heard a howl, and he was already on the move.

So when the scent of another came near the glen's borders, he couldn't help but go investigate what was happening. Though upon seeing Osiris' presence, he realized he was a little late to the party. His odd-colored gaze locked on a stranger woman who he'd never met before -- if it wasn't for the scent of moonspear wafting off of her, and the obvious "I clearly know this person" hug from his alpha, he would've took her as a stranger.

So, the pale pheonix would instead sit quietly -- just a few feet away from the pair -- and lick his lips while eavesdropping from a distance.

It was not often that Vega broke her veneer of poise and elegance, but when none other than her littermate (and favorite sibling) came bounding towards her she could not help but be overwhelmed with joy. Her back end began to wiggle, which was embarrassing considering the arrival of another who she didn’t recognize. She couldn’t blame him for showing up, she had called for anyone, after all, and @Azon had risen to the task.

Osi, she says his name with a laugh, It has! I was out of commission for too long. The scar on her shoulder still looked fresh even months later, and would likely never heal enough to be completely hidden by her fur. But this place, Osi, I’m so proud of you. How is it, leading this place?

Osiris felt @Āzon's gaze and acknowledged his subordinate with a quick flick of his ear. His subordinate's timely response was appreciated, but he could handle his sister on his own. 

"You have," Osiris agreed, taking a step back to get a better look at Vega. She seemed better than when he had last seen her, so that alone reassured him. She spoke further, speaking on her pride, and he felt suddenly bashful. "It's been great," his voice carrying a certain warmth that was shown to her. "Hard work, but great." 

"But, we've all missed you here," he added; her absence had been noticeable, and it was weird not living with her. "And I'm really glad you're here."

She was glad that despite her reclusive nature, her silence had not shattered the bond she shared with Osiris. She was grateful that they could just pick up like this, and it was like they were younger, sitting on a rock together and talking about his crushes. It seems like the pack is thriving, she says, drawing a breath to hide the pinprick tears that sprung up at the corners of her eyes. How are you doing? Personally?
