in between the light and the dark

It had been uncanny how fate had led them to find one another in the first place, two strangers in a giant world. When he had turned and left in a dramatic huff, she hadn’t been certain she would see him again. She had waited a time, and wondered if she should have followed him, but in the end she had too much to process.
She was certain that decision meant her brother was lost to her, so catching his scent once more was unexpected. She almost thought she imagined it as she took a drink at the stream. She wasn’t much of a tracker, and she paused, head raised, trying to catch where it was coming from. She plowed through the water without care, coming up on the other side. Here she found it stronger, and needed only a short walk to find the man, lying in a patch of sunlight.
Her first impression was of his injuries, and her breath caught, before she also noticed the scent of herbs. She caught the scent of another wolf, and assumed this one to the be the healer - she didn’t think her brother knew much of the craft. As she approached, she noted that the wolf didn’t approach healing the same way as she did, and would have loved to learn from the stranger.
The expert healer stopped before her brother and looked at him, trying to work through her emotions enough to say something. “I wasn’t expecting to see you again” was what came out.
