Rurik came around the bend, eyes filled with both worry and excitement. The thought of seeing his sister again brought out emotions that had once remained suppressed for so long. He cautiously approached, getting closer until her scent was practically in his face. Then just a few feet away from him, the ball of reds, peaches and white stood before him.

Her face was also filled with worry, but she seemed to be holding her ground. Now what? Saga.....you're alive. Rurik's voice was almost a whisper, though still held that rugged and tired sound to his voice. I can't believe that I found you. That was all that he could bring himself to say, still standing there in utter shock that he had found the sister he so longed to see again.
