It had been many, many months since she had been here, but Edith "Eddie" Adele found her way back like she had never left. Traveling through the dark streets, barely visible in her black hoodie and black lycra pants, she approached the Scathachian Sanctuary with some reservations. She was still so green compared to the other sisters, so much so she had been training hard in order to measure up.

Just before she opened the door, she glanced down at her hands, slowly removing the black fingerless gloves she always wore, revealing the fresh tattoos that marked her as a Sister - the crossed swords on the right hand, and the scales of justice on the left hand. She was determined to do whatever it took to regain her place with the Sisters - to be a help instead of a hinderance. So, squaring her muscled, athletic shoulders, she opened the door and entered.

Wooden practice swords under one arm, and her collection of daggers lovingly wrapped in a cloth under her other, Isuelt was walking through one of the corridors on her way to the bamboo-matted sparring room. Hearing footsteps, she presumed Umrae'diira was on her way as well. Instead, however, she blinked as she looked up and saw Eddie at the foot of the hallway.

Her lips parted and almost immediately smiled, "Eddie...damnit, where in the hell have you been? You know we can't get on without you." She was the youngest, even younger than Jenai. She needed the most preening, such was the extent of Isuelt's maternal instincts. "Welcome back, cher. You've come just in time," she started for the girl, aiming to put her daily practice on hold and bring Eddie up to date on the latest information.

She grinned widely as Isuelt approached, making her seem even younger than she was. "Hey Issy! I've been training extra hard - I wanna keep up with the other sisters."

Eddie was so happy to be home - and she was eager to hear all the news she missed, and was also eager to assist her sisters, using her freshly honed skills.
