Look who's back

Kotori grinned in pleased surprise as he spotted Briar approaching?  How long had it been?  As far as sisters went she was by far the most tolerable.  Both of them seemed to have reasons to vanish from armada lands at times.  He knew she had gone south to the hallows from asking about but that was really all he knew of it.  He could have asked in the past for more details but apparently she was fine and might as well and just find out from her some day if she wanted to share.  Kotori didn’t need to bother with gossip.

“Briar,” offered in pleased greeting, “Just returned last night.  Haven’t seen you in a while.  I hear you’ve been spending time in the hallows on and off?” Kotori didn’t quite ask why though admittedly the question was implied.  “I was down south for a bit this time actually.  It was hard making myself come back with how much warmer it is over there.” He could only assume the same for her.  Who would wish this colder weather on themselves?  

Did she leave because she wanted time away from the armada or she wanted time in the hallows?  Was it strange to have family return from the presumed dead and then want to spend time away?  Shouldn’t you want to spend more time with them?  Kotori just wanted to be past childhood and be seen as an adult.  Childhood might be fun for some but he was over it.
