The astonishment at finding his sister here was plain on his face, despite his attempts to cover it up. He couldnt help his emerald gaze from wandering to Lewis every few moments, wondering why he was here, what part he had played and what his role was. Shiloh was never one to make it one her own and although Saul loved her very much, he also knew that she was terrible when it came to solitary survival. From atop her horse, Shiloh expressed her joy at finding them and Saul grinned at his little sister. She was so much more refined than her unruly brothers, no matter what life experiances threw at them. Still, the male couldnt keep his eyes away from Lewis, it almost seemed in a protective sort of way. His eyebrows rose a fraction as he leant a hand to help her down and Saul was surprised his sister had let the male touch her, even if it was just the briefest of touches through their hands. She kept her distance, smelling the horses on him no doubt.

"We've missed you too Shi..."

He murmered, fingers twirling the wooden owl on the cord around his neck. Sometimes he had no idea what to say or how to act and it was one of these moments. While he longed to scoop his little sister up in his arms, he knew she would throw the biggest fit about it, so he remained where he was. Shiloh would approach him if she wanted to embrace him and he already knew that. For a moment he thought about their family, so big already. They were going to throw Shiloh into the mix and Saul could see the arguments arising from his little sisters prissy attitude to most things. He could see Shiloh and Melee clashing, which Saul imagined would be rather funny. Shiloh began to speak then, answering his question. He looked over at Lewis then, nodding softly to him in a silent gesture of thanks. He dread to think where Shi would have gotten herself if this boy hadn't found her. It was a little strange that he wanted to accompany her back and his mind threw him the easiest answer it could- Lewis saw her as more of a friend. Pushing the thought away, he watched as the wolfdog bowed, an odd motion but one Saul accepted.

"The pleasure is mine, Lewis. Had it not been for you, my dearest sister would probably still be wandering the wilderness. I'm glad you found her and took her in- it was most gracious of you."

The words sounded odd in his ears, but there wasnt a lot he could do about that. Lewis' formality had sparked the same in response and Saul felt his body move in a slight bow in return. Lewis moved off to tend to Shiloh's horse then and Saul smiled softly. The horse was beautiful, there was no doubt about that. Shi's words made him look back to her, a light laugh escaping him. "In six months? Oh, you know, not a lot." He jested, thinking of everything that had happened to him and the family since the snowstorm. A huge amount, and there was too much to simply divulge right here. "There's so much thats happened Shi... Conor left us and Nayru took up leadership... And then we merged Dahlia de Mai and Phoenix Valley just over a month ago to create Ichika no Ho-en, up here past the mountains. There's a hell of a lot to tell, so perhaps we could save it for when we are more comfortable?" He said, before her second question made him pause. "Gideon is here, as are the rest of the family. But Ascher hasn't come home yet and I have no idea where he is... I thought maybe you two had stuck together when you got lost, but apparently not." He sighed, rubbing a hand across his face as he looked across to Shiloh. She hadnt changed much in half a year, but he suspected he had changed rather a lot since they'd last seen each other.

"You came home..."

He sighed softly, thinking of the hundreds of times he'd thought about his lost siblings, knowing there was no way for him to leave everyone and go and look for them in the random wilderness. Shiloh had returned though and there was every possiblity that Ascher would too.
