It had been a stupid fucking idea, the shit she did for family just about made her eyes roll right out of her head, It won't take long, he had promised, you just need to distract 'em... It was so unlike her brother to beg and wheedle that she ended up going along with it, hell why not, it sounded like it could have been a good time, and she'd always wondered what sort of missions Kagehide had been involved with. She'd be lying if she didn't admit she was a little jealous of Suka being chosen as his apprentice.

A frustrated groan left her lips, now she'd lost Kerb, her only real tie to this place other than her mother, the hell was she supposed to do if she never caught up to him? She sighed heavily, her stomping paw slipping up to her elbow in a pudde that had probably been snow earlier in the day. "Fer fucksake can't a girl get a break?!"

Matilda was still feebly shaking her sodden leg when the voice cut through the dark, her tail was waving before she even set eyes on him, either she had finally caught up, or she'd gone completely mad and started hearing things. Either were preferable to endless wandering and just hoping one day she'd stumble across him again.

Tilly charged forwards with chuckle, planning to collide with the slightly heavier wolf, only to pull up just short and bump against his flank gently. She didn't know what sort of foolish endeavours he might have been up to in her absence and he had suffered quite the fall only a few short months ago. Mother's old God's, it still felt like yesterday to her. "Urgh, family. Who'd have 'em?" She grumbled flippantly, rolling her eyes as she continued. "Made it sound fun but it was sooo boring." But that was enough about her, " So wha' happened while I was away huh? Yer didn' replace me did ya?" She preemptively pouted for good measure.
