Ghosts From the Past

*Ara* · 11-06-2015, 10:31 AM

Initially, Jendai looked stunned.. which was a perfectly reasonable reaction. She'd been away from her family for so long, she probably didn't expect to see any of them so randomly. It'd taken Ara a full season of wandering, if not more, to successfully find Steel.. and even that had been partially because of luck alone. She was glad that Jendai grew excited when she realized who had approached her so suddenly, and her grin widened as her tail flicked contentedly behind her. "It is," she'd answer with a soft laugh. Slowly, after taking in her sister's scent as they embraced, she pulled away to get a better look at her.

Wherever Jendai had been, she had been through a lot. Her face was lined with scars, but her demeanor as so bright that she assumed whatever had happened, hadn't been too traumatic. In a way, she looked just like their father right then, and she found the slightly concerned look that had briefly appeared slipping away again. The scars were not fresh, and did not need tending to, so for now she would push those thoughts from her mind. "I came south with Novel, to look for Mom and Dad, and Steel," she explained carefully. "We're living in the same lands we used to, but it's run by someone different now. We're not prisoners," she explained. That was why her parents had left with Steel.. to help him avoid a life of being enslaved. If only they had known how short Jupiter's reign would be here, and how good the rest of their lives could have been, if they had not left. But it was not worth dwelling on what could have been.

"What about you? You look like you've been through a lot," she explained as she squinted, eyeing Jendai's scarred face. She'd always been the more fiery of her siblings, so it was no surprise if she had taken a liking to fighting like their father had.
