Wilder was out on her own for now - Vaati had stayed behind at the home, resting with the rest of the family. The home she'd built was not a quiet one and she still wasn't used to living with so many others, so occasionally she would slip away for some time alone. Moments to be by herself again, to recharge. And it was like this that Tourmaline would find her - about the time that she had decided she felt calm enough to return and was just picking herself off the ground when she heard the voice.

Her head turned and at first she went defensive. Too many bad experiences with strangers had made her cautious, wary. But as the dim light offered the first glance of the other one, she relaxed. This wasn't a stranger - she recognized them.

"Hello. I am here." She lifted her tail and took a few steps towards them. "Um. Hi. We've met before, a few times I think."

They were friendly, which was good. Still, caution, trauma, and experience had Wilder flicking a quick check in their direction, just to ensure that they had not brought something...unwanted to Andromeda. With an all clear, she allowed herself to fully relax, taking a quick seat as Tourmaline approached. "Hi, Tourmaline. I'm Wilder. And you as well!" Her tail swished behind her and curled around her front paws delicately.

She remembered their first meeting - it had been at the defense of Canis, against Order. So, naturally, a question quickly came to mind. "Hey, so, I have to ask. It's been a while since then, but what brought you to Canis, to fight against Order? Did you have dealings with them in the past?"
