Back Where I Belong (Destruction Family)

Sparrow heard the call and debated on ignoring it. She hadn't seen her brother in who knew how long, and before that, the animosity she had let build up between them felt like a mountain. Had it been long enough for those feeling to die down?

She scolded herself in her mind. Of course she needed to go greet him. If it was her in his shoes, she'd want to be welcomed back by her siblings. Didn't she hate the mentality of being family meant sticking to the same pack aimlessly? Shouldn't she be happy Starling had gone off for a while and that he had come back?

She had to be, she decided. No matter what had transpired between the two long ago, it had been some time. They were adults right? She needed to act like one. Sparrow groomed over her coat quickly before giving her fluffy pelt a good shake and heading in the direction of the call.

Lark had beat her to it. He looked surprised. Sparrow swallowed the lump in the pit of her stomach. She needed to be how she wanted to be received. The small girl walked up and bumped Lark's shoulder before making her way a little between her brothers, sporting a casual smile, "Welcome home. Bring anything interesting back?"
