Long Time No See

Iskra was on board to detail their adventures over the past year, and Artemis would not even try to hide her excitement. It coursed through her veins, and she was veritably buzzing with energy. She was as eager to find their family as Artemis was, and she agreed to her sister's suggestion of hunting them down with a resolute nod. Surely Chaos would understand something like that and give her a bit of leave for a bit of a quest, right? Maybe she could promise to bring him back some sort of bauble, or recruit new blood while she was away. Ideas tossed and tumbled about in her mind, to the extent that she was completely distracted until Iskra probed her further about the Crew. Artemis brightened, her tail giving a few hearty wags all of it's own accord. "It's brilliant! Chaos isn't like other alphas, where you've got to be all prim and proper and grovel before them. Respectful, sure, but all he wants from us is energy and devotion. The lands are beautiful," she continued to gush, "but we are free to come and go as we please... You know, as long as we're there to protect the borders when needed and don't shirk our other responsibilities. It's an odd bunch, but-" The words caught in her throat. She almost said but it's home, but somehow she felt wrong expressing that to her sister. First, she really hadn't been there long enough for it to become a part of her identity. She hadn't even found the perfect spot for a den yet. Second... Well, where she and Iskra had been born would always be home in her heart, even if the lands were no longer their father's. She didn't want her own bloodkin to think she'd come close to turning her back on their past, because she hadn't. So, after only a brief awkward pause and a small shrug, she smiled out, "Well, it's my odd bunch for now." Iskra claimed that Artemis would grow sick of her eventually, to which she let loose a very unladylike snort of disbelief. "Ha! Good luck with that!" It was a pleasant thought, Iskra being around so often that Artemis would want some space away. For the time being, she couldn't imagine. |
Artemis' family members are always allowed in her threads!
