Far Away

She hadn't heard from Tikaani nor Demonio for quite some time. She had only just been crowned last she ran into them, but it had been nearly a season since. Winter had gone, spring was here and summer was on its way... so where were her Tortugan brother and sister? The alpha walked steadily through the slightly waterlogged lands, the flooding had receded, but there were still muddy patches and small pools that were more like ponds than they should have been. Her paws led her toward the borders, which she would proceed to remark after the water from the floods had made them far weaker than she liked. Yet she didn't get to start in her task before she scented someone familiar nearby.

She idly smiled, wondering what news Demonio had for her now. It should be around the time for his wife to have her children - perhaps he had come to introduce her? She hurried toward him, excitement evident in her azure eyes, but when she finally spotted him... he looked entirely broken. A jaded man, his head hung low and his body was hunched, the weight of the world on his ivory shoulders. "Demonio..." She whispered, edging closer to the brute she considered a branch of her own family. "What happened?" If someone, anyone had hurt him she would tear them apart! Anger would be held back, sitting in the far reaches of her mind while she focused her attention on figuring out what ailed the white knight so.
