Whatever story she had been anticipating it was not the one he told. It sounded too similar to the circumstances that had led to her and her brother becoming loners, without any other family but themselves. She knew nothing of these "two legs" that he spoke of - what did that mean? - but she knew well what that loss was like. The river had done the same for her old pack, wiping all of them out while she and Yang unknowingly survived simply by the dumb luck of being on higher ground at the time. Her gaze dropped again, away from Klypso, as she considered this new information, this new experience that seemed to remind her an awful lot of her own family.

She was quiet a moment, understanding a little more why he might have been so willing to make friends with someone even so unsavory as her. "We lost everyone too," Yin said at length, surprising herself by offering even this little bit if information. "My brother and I, we were all that was left. But even he's gone now too." Bitter thoughts consumed her as she thought about it, telling herself that she was better off without him. If he was so eager to be rid of her that he would not think of finding her after all this time, then so be it.

She curled up tighter where she lay, tucking her head in close with her black tail settling somewhere beside her nose. Settling into a mood of self-pity, Yin remained moodily quiet as she thought about her absent twin. How could he go sibling away from her without trying to find her?
