It was all that she could do to hold in that brilliant scream of recognition and excitement as she danced into Aniwaya, and like usual without minding the scented borders. She could never be an intruder, because this was her home! Mommy and her brothers and Dawali and Ember and people she knew were all here and Noir was here now too so everything would be so very extraordinary greater than ever. While the trip home had been long and tiresome, there was only bubbling energy within the light tan girl.
Behind her followed her faithful Baby Duck, whose superlong throat had at least made Noir realize that it was a swan and not a duck. The poor bird had never taken wings after that awful big cow thing had stepped on it, so it had been her loyal follower forever and had been forced to listen day and night to the girl’s endless chatting. The young woman did not know where to go first now when she was home, and so she chose to run in a random direction while barking loudly for Dawali and Mommy and rest of family to come greet her, because they would be so very happy to see her again! It was hard for her to focus on anything but their faces now, because it had been so unbelievably long since she had last seen her family.
Noir had never truly said goodbye the day she had taken the usual trip to Crimson Dreams to look at pretty Ares Chance. His trail had led out of the Dreamer pack and out of ‘Souls, and Noir had believed they would have a picnic or something silly along those lines. She had come to realize that she had been wrong, and by that time the little wolfess had been far from home. She had been big enough to know how to find her way back of course, but there had been so many fun people to stumble into and the girl’s journey back had been delayed for so, so long. Until today, because today she was back and everyone would be so happy to see her. Almost as happy as she would be to see them!
