mysterious carnelian

Akhlut had considerably less emotions than her brother pon reuniting, it seemed most days that the two badgers alongside her had become her only family. She didn’t blame any of them really, but in the chaos of everything she had just been lost between the cracks. Some days she desperately missed the days of her pup hood when they were safe and warm with both mother and father, but now Akh felt safe with Oma and Shu. They had never left her or forsaken her. They had raised her and taught her the ways of the badger, and she was better for it.

She doesn’t think any less of Enki as he approaches and she allows him to wrap her in a long needed hug. She easily leaned into his arms and returned the affection. Certainly he is no prisoner here if he is so free to greet her now. He spoke her name, and those were very nearly all the words that she could utter as well. ”Enki.” She returned affectionately as he pulled away just enough so that he could look her over. ”How long has it been?” The timidity in her voice garnered a look from Oma. ”I mean… Hello, brother, it's so good to see you again.” She said with much more confidence in her vocals the second time.
