[font=trebuchet ms]The sight of Mistrim genuinely, unabashedly excited had turned a few heads, but Rin didn't think any heads had turned as sharply as hers.
Mistrim could be... hard to get a read on at times, but from every interaction they'd had, Rin had perceived the vixen as quiet, shy, and more than a little self-deprecating. Not that Rin was one to talk on that last one, but in Mistrim's case, the self-criticism was unwarranted- maybe she didn't have the raw power of some of the other Elysites, but she had a generous supply of loyalty and courage, which were much more important in the long run. That, Rin had to assume, was the reason that Mistrim had suddenly taken off towards the border, even going so far as to take flight; Rin had experienced a similar reaction exactly once in her lifetime, and it had been upon the return of a dear loved one.
...Unfortunately, the border had proven itself to be extremely dangerous as of late. Setting aside her cup of tea along with her thoughts of the past, Rin got up and broke into a run towards the border, traversing the mountainous territory as quickly as she could without suffering an impaired-depth-perception-induced accident. Chances were good that another Elysite would see Mistrim and follow her, but Rin wasn't about to take that bet, not after what had happened with the two deer.
As she approached, finding Mistrim speaking to a malamute that she called "Zane" along with Clony, Rin heaved a sigh of combined exhaustion and relief. She'd been right- an old friend of Mistrim's, or perhaps a family member. No one had attacked in the interim, and the two other Elysites were quick about escorting Zane to safety. Everything was alright. Everything is alright.
"Yeah, let's get inside," Rin said after a moment, starting to walk back in the direction of the cave entrance, and flicking her tail in a gesture to follow. "My name's Rin. The others have covered pretty much everything else."
