No one gets you like your sister

As she mixed and mingled with the wolves that had come to their wedding reception, she tried to make a point of at least saying hello to each of her family and thank them for coming to the wedding. She knew that it was a bit more of a trip now that they had made the move up north so she wanted to make sure the effort didn’t go unnoticed. However, as she finished her first lap around the great hall, she noticed that one of her brothers was noticeably absent. She wondered if perhaps he had moved to another portion of the castle, but she was a bit too caught up in the duties of hosting to investigate.

At some point she looked up from where she was sitting with Artorias and spotted her littermate sitting off to the side, his expression noticeably off—at least to her that knew him well. He was smiling, but it was obviously in an attempt to hide something. It was a far cry from how he had looked when she saw him at the beginning of the party when she saw him with the Ashen princess. Slipping away from Artorias, she walked over to Kotori, giving him a little smile. “You alright?” she asked quietly, keeping her voice down under the bustle of the crowd.
