Why don't you smile?

It had been so many seasons since she had seen Jendai. Perhaps she would've noticed her arrival sooner, had she not been completely engrossed in caring for Novel and her newborn children, but she was surprised when she heard her sister's sweet voice. Instantly her ears would perk, her expression overtaken with slight confusion. Though she hadn't left on bad terms, her decision to leave the family had left her bewildered at first, for it wasn't a choice she herself would've made. But was she angry? Definitely not.


There was no hint of malice on her features as the girl slowly turned, facing toward the springs that she had been wandering near, as her sister's form revealed itself to her. A wide smile tugged at the corners of her lips instead. The joy she felt was obvious, though subdued, as was her nature -- but she wouldn't hide the happy expression and the furious wag that had begun in her tail. "Jendai!" she would greet her warmly, quickly moving forward to greet her. A quick nod was offered, but soon enough she moved forward to embrace her, happy to nuzzle into her sister's shoulder before pulling away to examine her. It had been some time -- they were both fully grown now. Her sister had always looked more like Faolan than her, and that hadn't changed. The smile remained plastered on her features. "It has been so long. How have you been?" It seemed a more important question than to ask where she had been, or if she would be staying here this time. No matter what, she was her sister and she loved her deeply, and she was simply happy to see her alive and well.
