Straw yellow eyes flickered across the dreamy scene, hazy not only from the thick moisture in the air but also from the smoke that was drifting from the Lykoi sisters. Though she was certain now that it was her sisters here, Clover turned her attention briefly to Sepirah, for she did not want to be rude to the other female. After all, she was sure a small family reunion was about to occur, and Sepirah would most likely be forgotten for a few moments while the three girls reveled in the mere presence of one another. How lovely it was to see them again. It was all too strange and unreal, and Clover feared she might wake up and still be napping beneath that elm tree just along side of the Halycon mountains.

"Yes, hun, it’s Clover. I’ve been well, thank you. I hope you have been too?" Though her gaze had been focused on the darkly colored jackal, peripheral vision told Clover that her sister had realized just who she was. Sage, very similar in appearance to Clover herself, had leapt to her feet and the young Aedile turned with perfect timing to receive the strong embrace her sister aimed to trap her in. Though her clothing was rather simple and hand crafted, Clover appreciated the beauty of her sister. Her long hair waved about her torso as she moved towards her and Clover noted the way the fabric moved about her legs, making her seem ethereal in her grace.

When the two girls finally did connect in their embrace, Clover reached her arms around her sister’s thin waist and locked herself there. The comfort she felt from her sister’s simple touch was indescribable. It had been so long, it seemed, since she had last seen Sage River. They had been very much still children then, and now the sisters had grown into beautiful adolescents. Clover couldn’t help but smile at her sister’s exclaimed words. Even with her excitement, her voice retained a dreamy softness that Clover had always admired.

"Sage," she breathed dreamily, letting her head dip for a moment to find her sister’s shoulder. She let it rest there while Sage exclaimed how much she had missed her, and Clover briefly tightened her grip to signal just how much she had missed her sister as well. Their arms loosened around one another, and Clover took a step back so that she might be able to take in the full beauty that was Sage. Her sister scooped up her hand into both of hers, and Clover smiled lovingly as Sage asked her questions. "Oh, I’ve been lovely," she said in response, though not taking the time to elaborate just now. The sister’s would have plenty of time to tell one another of their journeys apart, but now Clover simply wanted to focus on the here and now. "Yes, I’ve seen Daddy," she told her, a slow nod signaling that she would explain further at a later time. She did not want to spoil their reunion.

All the while, Clover’s silvery sister had sat and watched the two in silence. And now, the lithe girl had risen to her feet and had begun to make her way towards them. Clover smiled appreciatively at the harmony the silver fur, the lovely roan mask, and the Lapis Lazuli gaze created. Though China was not alike in appearance to her sisters, Clover had always thought her to be breathtakingly beautiful. Though all three sisters were blessed with grace and charm, there was a certain appeal that China held that Clover was sure she and Sage had not received.

She moved much slower than Sage had, as if she could not believe what she was seeing before her. Slowly, a hand rose into the air and a slightly shaking palm found Clover’s cheek. The young Aedile turned her face slightly into her sister’s touch, and both pale yellow eyes closed for just a moment. "Oh, China," she breathed, before her eyes fluttered open and she focused on the beautiful blue. "I’ve missed you so much." Her gaze drifted to Sage for a moment, before finding her silver sister once more. "Both of you."

The joint had been left forgotten in one hand, just as Sepirah’s presence had been. Realizing they were not alone, however, Clover looked over to the darkly colored jackal and offered a coy smile. "These are my sisters," she told the jackal, though she was sure the other girl had already figured that much out. Tucking the smoldering joint between her teeth, the girl moved to hook an arm around each of her sisters, so that she was placed directly in the middle of the duo. "Let us sit and catch up," she suggested, expertly speaking without letting the joint fall, and tugging them along to coax them back to where they had been sitting.

She had not seen either of the girls since they had all been living in Juniper Peace together. The two sisters had taken off not long before Micah had decided to as well. Clover had only left after she had begun to feel left out, and wondered what it was her siblings were discovering in the vast world. She had trailed after her sister’s scent, for she had not discovered her brother’s, but had failed at finding them. Though she had been able to track their route to the area near Inferni, the sisters had departed and their trail had been washed away by nature. By the grace of Mother Earth, however, Clover had been directed to Inferni and had seen her father again. Things were not how they used to be though, and she did not want to have to tell her sisters this. She wondered if while they were gone away from here, if they had perhaps run into Micah. Clover often wondered how their chocolate colored brother was fairing in the world all on his own. How lovely it would have been if they boy would have showed up at Inferni’s doorstep only a day later. That, of course, would not happen.
