Familia

Epiphron hadn't expected to hear her nephew call. Truthfully, she didn't know him hardly at all - she'd met him once when he was a boy. Even his voice was largely unfamiliar, and it took her a long moment to recognize it as it rang across through the Mangrove trees.  She had begun to move in the direction of the call, though her pace increased when she realized it was family that awaited her. His scent reached her quickly, and she wondered why Surreal was not with him. Had something happened to them? The last she knew, they'd been driven out of Vericona Plains by the bastard that had hurt Arian.

Feeling a bit of worry well up in her stomach, despite the fact that his call had given no indication that anything was wrong, she would find her way to him quickly. He was no longer a child - that was the first thing she noticed as he came into view. A smile would paint her features as she loped forward, wondering if it would be strange if she embraced him... but she did it anyway, her head wrapping around his neck before she pulled away. "Tornach," she addressed him, warmth in her eyes as she looked him over. "What brings you here?"
