come back, little bird

Her lungs burned as she pulled in a ragged breath after another, never slowing. Her paws bounded across the unfamiliare territories, eating away the distance as quick as her muscles could move her. Carnation eyes stung as the cool air whipped passed them, lips parted and lungs aching to pull enough air to fuel her bounds. She was in trouble, she was late, way too late. There was no possible way she could have made it home by nightfall and it seemed she wouldnt be in his company before day break either. She had broken all her conditions, something she had never done before. Adair was not going to be happy, not in the least. Panting, gasping, she continued to move, eyes narrowed as she ate away the distance between her and the shrine. Paws had only just barely met the soft earth of their makeshift home when she heard his call. "...No." She breathed, turning carnation eyes to the sky. Yes, he was upset, rightfully so. But this...he called for her, called. She winced away, ears pulled back and eyes closed tightly. Yes, Adair was beyond upset, he called for her, it was so uncharacteristic. There was no way she'd be able to talk her way out of this one.

With a deep breath to cool her aching lungs she swung around, tilting her cranium back to call to him. It was a solemn song, an apology in the air. Ellasyn was okay, she hoped that would ease his firey anger just a little. She lowered her head then, bounding across the territories to reach the battlefield, never stopping, trying not to slow. Adair was waiting, he was. Her lungs burned, her body ached, but she had to reach him as quickly as she could. She had news, she had an explination, but more than anything she just wanted to see him.

His scent was strong in her nose as she entered the territory, breathing heavily as she slowed to a stop. "A...Addy.." She panted, staying where she was as she gazed at him. She wouldn't reach out to her brother, wouldn't move to embrace him untill she was sure his anger had moved to a simmer. They would never harm each other, but she couldn't take that chance. Instead she stayed where she stood and worked to slow her racing heart and provide enough oxygen to her humming and shaking limbs. Carnation eyes never left him, wide with worry and shining at her brother, waiting for his reaction.
