Feeling so faithless

Her green paws almost trod on the nose barely sticking out from the bushes. She first uncovered her sister's scent, a surprise to her nose, though she wasn't able to find the cyan girl. Not until she heard her hiss. Scarlet eyes looked around for the source of her sister's voice, only to discover the nose right by her feet. She peered over the bush to find the blue female buried in the bush. The queen couldn't help but to stifle a laugh at the sight. "Hey Nixie," she greeted, flattening her ears a little awkwardly. Had she ever spoken to her sister normally? An actual civil conversation? Without fighting? Without arguing? Yes, she was an alpha now, and she couldn't hold a grudge against any of her packmates. However, she felt the need to improve herself, to be a better Zephyra. With half of their family gone, she couldn't afford to severe the torn relationship further. Could she rebuild it? Could they be sisters again? "How...uh...are you?" Sometimes she wished she hadn't been a brat in the first place.
