CALM BEFORE THE STORM / return

"You seem to have had quite the journey." Alex also did not really recognize the newcomer, but he trusted her word that this was her home, and she was here to return. Although, he was taken aback by the stranger, she looked more ethereal than anyone he'd ever seen, on par with Imperia. Even as she was covered in dirt, half blinded, and in generally bad shape, she still looked angelic to him. Who was this girl? Her appearance felt familiar to him, but he didn't know if it was because he'd seen her once or if someone else in his memories bared a striking resemblance to her.

Alex occasionally looked back to see if anyone who might know this girl had arrived, tail gently wagging. He offered a smile as well, though his own was smaller and gentle, contrasted to Thea's own introduction. He glanced once at her paw, wincing internally, more at the cause of the injury rather than the wound itself. Thea was fine, she would heal quickly. "May I ask what your name is?"
