Hello, Welcome Home.

Approaching the wall with apprehension, she sticks her nose out to sniff at the rock. Lifting a paw to press on it, she scrapes at the surface, noting how few pebbles lift and fall away. At least she doesn't have to be worried about a slide happening right on top of her. But the trail leading up? Where was it? Her brow furrows as the wind whips around her, chartreuse eyes glancing left and right as she pulls away from the cliffside to get a better look.

As the wind picks up once more, she freezes a moment. Something familiar crossing her nostrils, every signal in her body going on high alert. One more pass of the breeze and she doesn't catch it again. Must be my imagination, Sloan thinks to herself with a defeated sigh, her muzzle hanging a bit lower. Deciding to make her way south along the shoreline, she would keep trying until she picked up something fresh. Getting to the other side of this cliff was the first task after all. Maybe at the top she'd find something good to go off of.

While she walks, her paws dragging lightly in the sand from exhaustion, it doesn't take long for the wind to brush by her once more. This time, the all too familiar scent is vivid. Turning on her heels, her head lifting high, eyes wide and unblinking as her brain tries to register what's in front of her. Was she dreaming? Reminding herself to breathe, she sucks in a deep breath as he approaches, the low baritone of his voice both familiar and unfamiliar. His scars are there too, but it appears more have adorned his pelt since the last time she laid eyes on him.

When he speaks her name, she smiles and her tail wags a few times, her paws moving her a few steps closer to him. "Caedes," she responds, not quite in the same low baritone, but also not in a tone you would expect from a daintier girl like she. "I know this is unexpected," Sloan starts, clearing her throat, but never losing eye contact. For as awkward as it felt, she would be confident in front of him. "I-I, uh, couldn't take it anymore. They," she pauses now, eyes drifting downward toward her paws. "She wanted to marry me off or make me a Sidi. Said I was too pretty to be a warrier, this if I was a good girl, I would help the family name by bearing pups," Sloan grows a bit quieter, fury and ire building in her at the thought that she could've just been a fucking toy.

Letting out a forced snort, she gives her head a small shake before looking back up at Caedes. "So I left. In the middle of the night and I tracked you down because whatever happened back then, that wasn't what I wanted. You're my brother and I-I... if you could do it, so can I," Sloan tilts her chin up a little bit, holding firm with her chest puffed ever so slightly, hoping he would either believe her or take pity on her at least.
