Sharing the news

It wasn't every day that she got a call from the border—especially not just for her and especially not from one of her siblings. Her ears perked at Kotori's voice and she grinned at the thought of seeing her brother again. She immediately tucked away the project she was working on and turned to hurry down the stairs of the castle and across the grounds to go meet him. The last time she saw him had been at her and Artorias' wedding and as much as she loved all of her family, Kotori had always been the one of her littermates that she had been the closest too so it was always a treat when she got to see him. Moving to the Hallows had certainly put a good amount of separation between herself and the rest of their family—especially now that Armada had moved to the opposite side of Boreas. She didn't regret her choice in the slightest, but for someone as family oriented as she was she did wish that she could see them more... especially now that she and Art were preparing for a family of their own.

It didn't take her long to find Kotori waiting for her at the edge of the plains and her grin widened when she spotted him, her long tail swaying faster behind her. As she got a bit closer though she noticed the healing wounds that would most certainly scar once they were fully closed and a bit of concern and curiosity twinged her expression. "You look like you've been in quite the tussle recently," she commented with a soft chuckle when she reached him, leaning in to give him a warm embrace while being careful to avoid any of his injuries. "Come in and tell me what you've gotten yourself into," she added, waving him across the border and starting to lead him across the plains so they could chat as they went up to the castle.
