She took a lot of patrols these days, so Remus was correct in believing that he would catch the princess here. It was easier for Shuriken to to put her focus into a task like this than it was to think about what had happened in her life and Ashen. There was a part of her that remained broken from the day her father left them. It was a quick decision and a sudden loss and yet it still gripped her as her mismatched paws carried her over Ashen’s borders.

Flicking her ears to every sound, running her eyes over the horizon, listening for the sounds of her companions, they were all much easier than dwelling on what waited for her back at the palace. Reminders of Hattori’s missing presence haunted her everywhere but no where as intensely as her own reflection. The memories they made together haunted her as she tried every night to find the reason he’d left in them. Unconvinced it wasn’t because she wasn’t better.

She was on high alert when she heard the somewhat familiar voice try to get her attention. Her dual toned eyes narrowed in suspicion before Remus revealed himself. He didn’t have to work as hard as he did to get her attention, and Ike heeded as soon as she realized who was trying to catch her eye. "Remus?” She questioned as she wandered off the border to meet him.
