It was all so exciting, and at once nerve wracking. What if they didn't like her? What if they said she couldn't stay? She'd come so far, left so much behind to find her dear brother, and now she'd found not one, but two! It would be a waste though if they drove her out...No! She couldn't think that way. If this Azarax really was family, and kind enough to care for Uddhava, surely he'd never make her leave.
"H-hello? Azarax?" She'd been waiting outside the den for what felt like hours before the courage to call out had come to her. "Are you here...I really want to meet you!" Her voice grew louder, more energetic. What would he be like? Would he look like Momma? Or more like Papan maybe. Or like both of them, or maybe more like her sister even! What would he like, what had he seen...Not even her fear could contain her natural curiosity. She wanted to know all about her new-found brother!

((Sorry this took so long. I only just got back from Malaysia a couple days ago, and I've been busy catching up x3))
He had noticed her lingering about outside the den a while ago, and the very sight of her sent chills running down his back. She looked so much like Ripuka, and yet so different that he couldn't quite believe what he had seen. There was nothing he had wanted more in that moment than to go and talk to her, to find out what she was like and how she was faring with the Simo. For there was absolutely no need to doubt who she was.
Still, he had kept himself from doing so. It was obvious she had something important to say, and he knew that when she had made up her mind to say it, she would. If he tried to rush her, there was every chance that whatever was most prevalent on her mind might not make it out as words.
So he had stayed put, and much as he hated sitting and simply waiting, he knew that perhaps it was for the best. He himself could think of nothing urgent to say to her, other than to find out how she was doing - and hell, that could wait.
But it wasn't so long before her voice rang out into the shelter of the den. He sat up and paused, wondering what it would be like, meeting the younger sister he had never known before. There was something so ironic, and yet so familiar with that thought. All the family he had never known, and the family he never would know. The thought was a melancholy one, but he had long since accepted life for what it was. If being where he was today meant sacrificing knowing some of his relatives, then perhaps it wasn't so big a price to pay. He had never known them, after all. And it wasn't as though he had no family. Uddhava was family, and Yin.
He made his way toward the world outside of the den, anxious and wondering how he would fare when faced with someone so reminiscent of Ripuka. A slight frown came over his face, and as much as he tried to erase it, it stuck. There it was again, a mask to hold back any obvious emotions.
"Hello," he managed as he emerged from the dark of the den. "You must be... Uddhava's sister."
