Golden Glade Shadowless.

Dude it's like 4 hours past my bedtime but lolol

Towhee's abrupt announcement didn't faze Raven a bit, so accustomed was she to her sister's occasional bouts of social clumsiness. She only had time to look surprised for a split second before her goofball sister realized her gaffe and blurted a more appropriate greeting. As Raven found herself caught up in a strangling hug, she laughed -- the first real, genuine belly laugh she'd had in a long time -- and hugged Towhee back just as vigorously. Whatever mixed feelings she'd had toward her sister, already so tenuous and ephemeral because she had never been much for holding grudges anyway, were swept away in the joy of their reunion. Raven knew nothing of the resentments her siblings had stewed over since their departure, but at least on her own end, everything was fine.

Some beats later they withdrew from their hug and Raven sat back to look at her sister. -"Wow,"- she breathed with a grin, shaking her head. -"Okay, first of all, it's DAMN good to see YOU!"- There it went again, that darn tail. It just wagged on its own, she had no control over it. She felt like her excitement might reach fever pitch and boil over, making her spontaneously combust or something. Good grief, she needed to get her shit together. -"Secondly...RYE? Really? OMG."- Who knows if she actually spelled out OMG or just said the words, it's late and Houkie's cat is barfing in the floor as we speak so OMG. She giggled, eyeing her sister conspiratorially. Rye was cute. She didn't know him super well but she could maybe see how the two of them might click. And Towhee? A crush? WHAT? As weird as it was to be having this conversation with her BAMF of a sister, Raven felt like she'd waited her whole life for this moment.
