The pain in her side was slowly dissipating and she was glad when Sirius stopped nearby. He was out of breath as well and so she didn't feel as bad. The giant came and gave her an affectionate headbutt. She nipped his cheek lightly as he drew away, tail swishing behind her. The small woman was quick in regaining her breath and soon had her tongue lodged back within her maw.

It was suggested that they walk the rest of the way and Io nodded. "Good idea." Rising from her place, the tiny dame gave her coat a shake and then fell into line beside her giant brother. They could move at a leisurely pace and converse while they did so. She hadn't been terribly involved with others as of late and had mostly just been traveling to collect herbs. When she was home, she marked the borders of their temporary territory. There was one thing though that she felt the need to mention.

"Hannibal is alive and mostly well," the dainty lass began. "He broke a limb much like you did and asked for assistance. Seems that he's on his way home to Deathbelle." One silver brow raised and she wondered how Sirius would take the news. She knew nothing of the history between the two brutes and so she would be learning as they walked.
