[DOTW] The Dreaded Reunion

+2 bones (domainian bonus)

Seeing Skoll upon arrival already put Marina on edge - she knew he had fled Blackrock long ago and wasn't particularly looking for her, but Marina kept her distance from him just in case he decided to finish what he started with her. This ultimately caused Marina to stick more to the sidelines during her visit to Chandor, or staying close to Riptide if she had to brave public appearances. Marina always found herself looking over her shoulder.

That is what led to the absolute surprise (and somewhat scare) of seeing another familiar wolf: Alana. Seeing the familiar wolf that was her sister caught her off guard and made her more paranoid - if both she and Skoll were here... then.... Marina cannot talk to Alana. At least, not now. Not until Alana sees her acting like a normal, nicer wolf-

She isn't sure what led to them meeting alone, but it happened. Lots of yelling from one side ensued, something taking Marina so aback that she found herself frozen, with lowered ears and a sad expression as she looked down at her sister. She was not the wolf she remembered - she had healed, was speaking, but was still the same wolf Marina had hurt and ultimately chased away just like she did her other siblings.

When the yelling died down, and no attack from Marina's end had happened, there was an uncomfortable silence as Marina processed everything. Once she did, though, she took in a breath and lowered her head, tilting it away from Alana in shame

"I'm sorry, Alana." Marina said, "For everything."

THE SISTERS REUNITE... and Marina gets (tbh quite deservingly) chewed out!!! Thank you SO MUCH @RosePhaganax for letting me borrow Alana for this scene so the idea we had for their initial reunion could be brought to life!!!

the way i instantly jumped on the Chandor trip opportunity for Virtus though LMAO. I hope one day Marina and Alana can mend things between themselves, but that will not be a fast process. What is established though is Marina is not here to be aggressive - not anymore.
