Paws would continue to pull her further, albeit still slowly. The bit of excitement would not cause her pace to quicken, she knew her limits and she would not break them. Still, it was hard for ehr to keep her steady pace when she heard her brother return the greeting howl. She?d feel the corners of her lips turn up, she couldn?t ever deny how much she?d missed them. She continue, patience winning out in the end as finally Chord would come around the next bend. She?d feel her tail wag as her smile brightened, her litter mate?s affection would be given and Rhythm would happily take it. She?d even manage to return a quick gesture, her nose pushing into his lighter fur as she listened to his words. Her dual toned gaze would find his forest orbs, and she?d smile playfully. "Of course, I couldn?t stay there forever. I?m not meant to be a leader, plus I missed you pups too much." She?d show her incisors from her grin as she looked him over, "On your way to Abaven?" Surely he too knew of their brother?s success.
