Yeah.. quiet. About that. It seemed she hardly got settled before her moment of silence was interrupted. A barely audible sigh left her lips before the stranger even slipped into the den - Vedis caught her scent long before that, but she was tired and had no interest in finding another place to sleep. Perhaps she might have to, if this wolf wanted to claim this one as her own, but standing her ground was a far more likely prospect. Her hackles would raise slightly, nose wrinkling as well as she heard the gentle shuffling of paws that signified Akemi's approach.
"No worries," Védís offered tentatively. Briefly she had closed her eyes, allowing darkness to overtake her, and she found her vision hazy as she adjusted once again to the pale moonlight that shone through the cave's entrance. It took a long moment for her to get a good look at Akemi. Even her scent had not been terribly familiar.. perhaps masked by time, by Akemi's companions, by the bitter cold and the briny stench of the ocean. "Do you really think I would turn away my own sister?" Her reply was slow, and cautious - but once her eyes had adjusted fully, she knew with no uncertainty that this was Akemi. Her size alone was enough to give it away.
She chuckled openly. Ah, fate was a funny, fickle beast.. and it had been so long since she'd seen anyone in her family. Though Védís had not been terribly close to Akemi - nor had she been really that close to any of her siblings - it was good to see her, and she was willing to offer a fond smile in her direction, eyes roving over Akemi's scarred form. "Where the hell have you been all these years?"
