She was dozing off in her den to the comforting sounds of the four nursing bearcubs when the familiar call sounded across the territory. She sat up quickly, at first wondering of she had actually heard the sound. How was it even possible that he was here? She got up, looking to her children apologetically as she interrupted their nursing, and walked outside to stand in front of the den. There was no way she would leave them alone, but she was growing worried; Sadiq didn't speak very much common, and he shared her same brash nature and temper, so she was afraid of what might transpire at the borders without her there. He had called for her, and she knew he would begin to grow impatient when whoever greeted him understandably didn't let him just waltz in and see her without knowing who he was or why he was there. 

She was pacing outside the den when Stigmata appeared, probably on his way to the borders. She quickly explained the situation to him and after he agreed to stay with their children, she quickly set off towards the brother she hadn't seen since she left home. 

When she saw him standing at the borders, her heart quickened; she didn't think she would ever see him again. She nodded to her three packmates as she passed them to go directly to her littermate and press her face into the fur of his neck. The scent of her family filled her nostrils, reminding her of how much she had actually missed him. She stepped back, moving to stand beside Mahler. Sadiq, she said first, switching to her native language out of habit mostly. How did you find me? Why are you here? the questions came out quickly. She was happy to see him, but she worried about what pulled him from their home. She turned to the three men then, realizing they would probably want to know what was going on. This is my littermate, Sadiq, she offered. He doesn't mean us any harm.
