The sack of mud with fur spoke her name. It came barreling at her. Yoshi? She recognized the tone, the burst of excitement that bubbled from his paws. The amount of weight that rolled off her shoulders to see a familiar figure. Aika wanted to bawl from excitement right there. However that wasn't very royal of her. 


During the time alone, she was struggling to muster the strength. Aika wanted nothing more than to be home. Being awake made her stomach churn. 


Instead she planted her paws into the ground, preparing for the burst of energy coming her way. With a bright joyful smile that tugged at her lips. The relief she felt. She was no longer alone. That spark of joy would only send hope through her veins that she'd see her sister soon.


Maybe. It was still within paws reach surely.


Yoshi! Aika gleefully wagged her tail. The silvered canid couldn't begin to find the words to say.
