Everyone Can See These Scars

As Bowen's voice called out, Ash turned with a bit of surprise but a wide smile when she met her gaze. She was happy they could both meet out here, as much as Ash was avoiding her home pack. Seeing her sister in front of her gave her heart a jolt of happiness after being away for so long. She wasn't expecting such a high.

Her tail wagged slightly, Ash kind of noticing Bowen's "pumpkin" shape, but not putting the pieces together. "Bowen." Her typical shy, quiet demeanor changed for her sister. Her paws reached up as she closed the distance between them, going to wrap her legs around her shoulders in a short hug. Her voice close to ear, "I'm fine." As fine as she could be, and definitely not the same state as her caramel sister. "Are you?" She couldn't feel the shift of sadness in her, but she hoped Bowen was doing okay too.
