The sky remained gloomy and grey. There was water misting off the grass and streaking the trees, and between those trees traipsed a grizzled thing layered in yellow clay and brackish black mud. It was not her finest moment. It was the furthest thing from her finest moment — and a far cry different from her first appearance upon her sister's soil.
Hime limped along with a scowl on her face. She hitched her step each time her rear right paw tried to support her weight; there was a small bare patch upon her rump where the mud caked the best, which - again - not a good look. She was slow, lacking the usual pride as she moved across the border.
The rain sluiced around her. She felt it dripping from her chin. Her teeth were set firmly yet still she felt them spasm and chatter. The first thing Hime wanted was a hot meal, then maybe somewhere to get dry and warm again.
She slogged on, ignorant to the diminished scent of her sister as she focused on her goals.
