Hearing Zeph’s call brought a new stirring inside Kait however. A stirring of hope for this pack she’d become part of. Myriad... The pack name was different than something she thought her mother would come up with, but that was alright. This was no longer her mother’s pack. Though she longed to know what happened to the rainbow woman she was trying not to dwell on it and focus instead on getting better.
Paws lead her outside of the den and into the cool air. The winter was mild, but Kaitlyn was ever wary of the snows that could potentially fall from time to time. The promise of spring was on the breeze, however, and the girl hurried in the direction her sister’s call had come from. The girl appeared quietly, sliding up beside Zeph from behind. She had not tried to conceal her approach, however, so it was likely that Zephyra heard her. Green orbs flicked to her larger sibling, a soft, yet happy whine passing her lips. Her tail was beginning to wag behind her, ears perked up on top of her head. Overall she looked happier than she had been when Zeph first found her... A bit more stable. “You called for me?” |

“Not... Not yet.” Kaitlyn frowned a little, lifting her gaze back to Zeph. “I’ve been... Kind of isolating so far... Trying to get to feeling a little better before I interacted with others. I’m sure I can face Armai now... And she’ll help me get better, right?” The girl lifted her gaze to the sky, giving a little sigh. “Zeph...?” Katie’s tone had taken on a more gentle note. “Do you think they’ll want to see me again?” She was a bit worried about interacting with her brother and sister after all this time. Were they mad at her? Would they be glad she’d returned? “...they way you ask... Have they not been very active around Myriad?” |

“Well... I did kind of just poof on Ren when he had a lot of weight on his shoulders. I dunno... I guess I’m worried he’d be mad at me.” She pressed her shoulder against Zeph, drawing comfort and support from her black and green furred sibling. “...and Nixie... Haha, I guess I’m worrying for nothing, huh?” The young girl was oblivious, smiling warmer than before. They were together again... Save for their mother and father. Not that Nako had been around too much to begin with. “Zephy? I know you’re gonna be busy with the pack and all but... I want to hang out more than we did when we were little, okay? Best we can? Promise?” Kait kept her gaze focused up on her larger sister, tail swishing slowly back and forth. |

A frown furrowed her features at the mention of their brother and the "weight on his shoulders". What kind of weight? Was this some unresolved problem burdening Ren? How come he hadn't told her? Well, she hadn't yet talked to him since Myriad's formation, and that was a fault on her part. But still. Maybe she wasn't distributing her time too well. It seemed she was always thinking about the pack, not to mention Rivaxorus, that family always seemed to fall second. Was that ideal? She didn't know. "I'll try," she told the smaller girl, the same promise she had promised her other sister. Could she keep it, for both of them?
