As she made her way from the safety of her borders, she wondered why her long-lost cousin was hesitant to approach her. When she was halfway between meeting Azalea and her home, she saw the limp that was unable to remain unnoticed. Her eyes widened and she softly whimpered, immediately regretting her desired howl for her cousin's quickness to increase. So, without hesitating, she pushed herself to a quicker pace, intending on meeting her before she got too far from where she had sat.
Her large frame left behind a trail in the thick snow, making it seem as though the edges had melted along the top layer. She ignored the path she left behind, knowing that it would be covered in a matter of minutes by the oncoming flurries. Red and blue eyes twinkled as her large paws hit the snow, steps remaining muffled as the heavily laden snow flew into the air around her. She resembled a puppy with a large body, but all the while, her mind was settling into her adult routines. Silently, she wondered how long it took Azalea to mature at such a young age.
As she got closer to her cousin, Odette also noticed her facial changes. One eye remained and a set of claw markings dashed across the vacant socket. Again, she wondered about Azalea, but pushed the curiosity aside and greeted her with a wide grin. Now, as she stood in front of her, she realized how much she had grown compared to their last encounter. She couldn't help but laugh at the last sentence of her greeting. "I suppose it is because you were already perfect," she teasingly said, grin widening at the smile Azalea gave her. "It's Papa's fault that I got so big. You know how our dads were." Her eyes then flashed warmly, showing that she remembered her dad in the fondest of ways. "Azalea Adravendi...what have you been up to all this time?"
