I know, it's weird when you think about it XD. Birds do grow up fast, though.
It had been a long time indeed since Ruri had visited with Niro, and she was both shocked and very worried when he revealed the cause of his discomfort. "Shouldn't you be resting if you're hurt?! Niro, you shouldn't have caused yourself pain just to come check on me," she replied, in both a worried and somewhat scolding tone. She had, by now, caught her breathe and she was now far more concerned with her friend than her own exhaustion. When he indicated the nearby porch of the hotel and his regret that he could not help her, Ruri resumed her worrying, perhaps it was her motherly instinct to be concerned coming out. "Nonsense, Niro, you need to rest. Come on, we'll sit on the porch together, how does that sound? That way we both can get the rest we need," she replied, her scolding, motherly tone turning back to her normal warm and friendly tone as she spoke. Milky blue gaze turned towards her cat, whose tail had just brushed her leg, "Come on Soleil, I'll introduce you when we get to the porch." She spoke to her cat, essentially because he was getting impatient. Though he would wait on his mistress silently, she could tell when the adolescent cat was getting antsy. He wanted to get to their destination and explore like he always did. With her encouragement, the green eyed kitten did just what he was told and followed his mistress and the other, wounded, wolf to the nearby building.
Upon reaching the porch Ruri climbed the steps slowly before settling herself down on the porch itself, her plumed tail swishing back and forth contentedly as she gave her feet a much needed rest. Soleil moved up and laid down right next to her, figuring he would beg for some petting before sauntering off to explore the hotel. Ruri listened as Niro took his time, which she expected of course, making sure he did not injure himself further climbing the steps. She did not know the extent of his injuries, but it must have been bad to confine him to lupus form. She would not press him at the moment, but eventually she would want to learn what happened. As the Dauphine it was her job to try and keep tabs on her pack mates and what was going on in their lives.
