Though she had longed for the day that one of her family visited her, Epiphron Adravendi was surprised when she heard her brother's call echo through the lands of Seracia. Slowly she rose to all fours, still surprised at how profusely her stomach bulged and how heavy the pups inside her were growing to be. Her paws ached even after a rest, but she would not refuse to answer Collision's call, however pregnant she might be. Slowly she found herself approaching the sound of his voice, moving as quickly as she could manage right now, feeling slightly fatigued and surprised by his arrival.

She was still a thing of beauty, despite how dramatically her belly had begun to protrude from her body. Her eyes glimmered with joy as the prospect of reuniting with Collision. She hadn't expected him to visit her -- she didn't count Erani's arrival, to bring the news of their father's death, as a true 'visit' persay. So Epiphron's chest swelled with pride and happiness at the thought of seeing his face once again, a welcome respite to her uneventful day.

Only briefly did she feel uncomfortable as her adoptive brother came into view. She had not seen him in seasons -- not since she had been handed the reigns of leadership and had, rather spontaneously, decided she would take Maverick's place. While she did not blame him in the least, for family meant more to her than any kind of political arrangements, it was strange -- and she was certain that some kind of visible surprise would appear in his expression as Collision realized just how soon she would be bearing children. But still she drew close to him, hardly hesitation as she tucked her head under his own, beyond grateful for the reunion. "I have missed you, brother," she murmured softly and lovingly as she nuzzled into his chest.
