Finder's keepers

Atreyu could hardly believe her eyes when they crossed over the smaller form of Petra for the first time in what felt like ages. Heartbreak and grief stole her breath away as she saw the scars her sister bore, the hell she must have endured at the claws of those demons to get scars like those totally excused the way Petra greeted her. Atreyu could understand the reaction, and Atreyu simply shushed her sister gently, "It's me, Petra, I'm here now..." While thankful Petra didn't shy away from her embrace, Atreyu couldn't help the tears that built in her eyes. She held the smaller wolf to her chest and said a small thank you to the ancestors and deities. "I'm here and nothing will ever hurt us again, I promise!"

Her voice was thick with relieved tears, though her heartbreak shone through as well. So much had been stolen from them, so much was lost that they couldn't get back. Petra's current state was shocking, to say the least, but Atreyu would not treat her any differently. Embracing the smaller form of her sister, Atreyu allowed herself to cry silently, her chest heaving every so often the only giveaway that she was emotional. Careful to avoid the scars, Atreyu laid a soft kiss to her sister's forehead, pulling back just enough to look her in the eye. With a deep, settling breath, Atreyu gave a reassuring smile. "We can make a camp here, the others should be along soon." Luckily for them both this was the place she had told Oath and Az to meet her at with the others they found. Hopefully, it wouldn't take them long to get here.
