“Naerys?!” At first Alysanne felt alarm pump the adrenaline through her, instantly assuming the worst was happening. What else was going to tear her family apart? She had heard the rumours of the gods and the battles that had been fought in new lands of Helovia but she had stayed resolutely put in the Edge, unwilling and unable to find the courage to step outside of the borders. She felt angry with herself that her daughter had clearly gotten up to something without her knowledge, or without Hemlock following the girl. He, the little owl, was snoozing in a nearby fir tree when the shouts had woken him up and he flew ahead of his hurrying bonded to see what the trouble was.

But as the shouts continued and her legs brought her closer to the sound, Alysanne realized that her daughter did not sound frightened or hurt. This was the ‘look what I found’ call for her mother. “What are you hollering ab…” But before she could finish the joking chide, before she could make a joke about ‘inside voices’ and when it was appropriate to run through the Edge yelling, Alysanne caught sight of the trio walking together. Mauja, seemingly almost as fresh on the scene as herself, greeting a pair that the painted doctor never thought she would see together. His words were lost to her because though she recognized that her daughter and king (queen?) were there, green eyes were glue to the figure with them.

Without care, a wordless cry of joy erupted from Alysanne, who had been uncharacteristically quiet as of late. Her legs could not carry her fast enough that distance that had been between them and she collided with her sister most ungracefully - wings and neck reaching to wrap around that so familiar figure as a delighted trill of laughter escaped her. She prayed to the goddess that this was no illusion, how could it possibly be that she had her dearest sister in this place, in her home? Tears started to slide down dark cheeks when she pulled back but her smile shone brighter than it had in what felt a very long time. “You’re here! And you found my… well, you found my Naerys!” She was eager to hear the story, though she worried about where the girl had gotten to, but her manners did not let her forget the other in their party.

Shaking her head to get rid of some of the tears, though not quite succeeding, she looked to the unicorn and explained what she could. “Mauja, this is my sister - Iona.” And still with that grin, for she felt like it would never leave her, she looked to Iona. “This is our queen, Mauja.” She introduced the spotted unicorn with a laugh, unsure whether the title had been a jest but she was in the mood for a joke now - she would ride the bliss associated with this reunion for as long as she could before she crumbled once more. Only now she would have her sister here to help with the pieces that she had not been able to carry herself.
