Noemí couldn’t help but laugh in return as she wrapped her neck around Elise’s own. They hadn’t seen each other since they were pups yet their greeting felt as though they hadn’t been apart for all that long. It just felt… natural to stand here now. Her tail began to sway back and forth and the female let out a breath.

“Where do I even begin?” She mused when Elise drew back. “I’ve kind of slipped in and out of Boreas over the years. I was part of a pack but it collapsed, sadly. Now though…” Her gaze was shining. “I… I met a man named Idun. Our relationship is not like those you typically see but it’s perfect Elise.” Her smile wavered.

“Although… I’m not so sure you would agree with the religion we follow.” For a moment a flicker of doubt flared up within her and Noe shook her head. “I’m happy though. I think I’ve finally found a place for myself.” She managed to bring that smile back. “...but what of you? Where have you been?” Her blue gaze slid over her sister’s form. “I was worried I would never see any of you again… you wouldn’t happen to know what became of mom and dad, would you?”
