The embrace was a change of pace for Nirva, it was warm, confused, but warm. The closeness of having someone she had once trusted os dearly close to her again. Even the scythe between them did not phase her, "Yes. Home. Olympus, we've reclaimed it as our own."
Pulling back she looked at her sister from arms length, hands resting on her shoulders. "All horsemen have been called here, even now others are showing up, but, I didn't expect you here."
She frowned, "I thought you where with the other priestess who fell when our original home was destroyed, I was in the Human worlds Baltic sea when it happened. I thought you had died. I thought everyone was dead for so long."

Shaking her head Kithryn turned her head away slightly. "No but it was a close thing. A very close thing. I'd been sent away only hours before the calamity struck and, to be honest, I'd had no idea where I was. I just...was." She shrugged somewhat. Eventually if either of the two cared to investigate it would be revealed that Kithryn had been in the far north of Siberia where snow covered the ground almost year-round and the temperatures could maintain a way of life she was familiar with. The mountain ranges had endless caves, endless ways to hunt and feed herself, and it had been viable, if lonely and uncomfortable.
"It called. I came." Delight at finding her sister turned into a frown. "You're not unhappy to find me are you Nirva? I would hate to think that I have come all this way, come back from the supposed clutches of Death himself, only to be unwelcome by my sister." Kithryn had been remote and a little cold as she'd grown older due to her desire to emulate Death as a priestess of its tenets, yet she had always saved warmth and affection for her family, as much as possible.

"There was a lot going on that day, I had hoped, but it had been so long since I'd heard anything..." Nirva had known where she was, and was one of the first to retreat back to the new abodes outside of Amity. Her network of portals hadn't been cut in the loss of home.
"I don't know how it called, but I'm glad it did," the moment of joy slowly soured and a look in Nirva's face became panic and shock, "N-no! Kith, no! I'd never feel that way! I haven't felt right since that day, I've missed you, and Lilly, just... just having you, you alone, Kith please...." she pulled her closer again clinging on afraid she would turn and run again, "You're my only family, I can't lose you. I won't."

Despite being the shorter, smaller sister Kithryn was still the elder and had been trained in the care-taking of others. Stroking what dark hair she could reach as Nirva clutched at her the priestess tried to push back her natural awkwardness at frequent displays of physical affection. It had never been something she was particularly cavalier about and didn't quite understand why someone would want to indulge in such contact frequently. However she understood that, at this moment, Nirva was trying to reassure herself that Kithryn was alive and whole. Family.
The only family. "Only? So none of the rest..." Lips pressed tightly as, for one of the few times in her life, physical tears burned at the corners of her eyes. "Oh, Nirvy, I'm so sorry." Strokes against dark brown hair resumed as Kith thought about the loss of her family, of her whole way of life, and how adrift she now was.
Really, what had she been expecting? That eventually someone would find her after a few years and bring her home? That it had been a simple portal malfunction that had trapped her in the Siberian wastes? Gone. Everything was gone.
Reassuringly her voice touched Nirva's ears. "It's alright. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you." Wherever this place was.

Nirva knew this, she knew very well Kithryn hated hugging and cuddling and all those typical things. This was one case though where her younger sister was going to ignore it entirely.
"Only... I don't, I haven't seen any sign of them and I've checked everywhere among the survivors, those lost outside of the camps. It's harder to look for. Their isn't a clue where to start where to go, and hardly no way to get there till now." For a moment something shifted, Kithryn was stroking her hair, not retreating, not vanishing as an illusion she was there. They where here.
"Olympus," she said simply, "It's now our home." Pulling back she ran the back of her hand over her own eyes to wipe away signs of the tears she had shared with her sister, in a single moment they had probably displayed more emotions then either had in the past year.
"C'mon. We can get you inside and you can stay at my place tonight untill you decide where or what you'll do for yourself okay?"
