"Alexey...?" Her sister had appeared so fast, Adelaida wasn’t quite sure how to make sense of it. For a split moment the idea crossed her mind that Alexey had followed her here, it certainly would have been a more favorable alternative to the truth, at least in Adelaida’s eyes. Yet, Alexey had come from inside the lands. And “uh-oh” would never have crossed her lips if she had not been caught somewhere she was not expected to be. And as Adelaida drew closer, so that they were face to face, she found that Alexey smelt like these lands. There was no way to spin this, it explained perfectly Alexey’s absence in the past days, and yet Adelaida didn’t want to accept the truth, so for a good long moment she just stood facing her sister, azure eyes staring into the warm honey colored ones.
Adelaida could go on standing there all day, for if she never spoke, she wouldn’t have to hear Alexey’s explanation, something she was sure would upset her. Adelaida didn’t want to be upset anymore. The should wound, given by that rotten female coyote, was healing nicely, it hadn’t been too deep to begin with, but timid Adelaida was still shaken by the incident she had caused. Feeling rather lost and lonely without Alexey or any kind face the last few days had left her feeling even worse. And now, to learn where Alexey had been spending her time, when Adelaida had assumed that her sister had been avoiding the pack lands as she herself did... well, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Facing her, she couldn’t be angry, or upset, not just yet, not until Alexey confirmed what was causing Adelaida’s heart rate to raise as her anxiety did. Her voice came out flat, almost a defeated tone, but a little accusatory. "What are you doing here?"
