Quick as a flash, Locha leapt out from the bracken and leapt upon the rabbit, the salty taste of it's  blood sharpening the girls' senses. She quickly ended it's life before rising above the rain-trodden grass. Locha was far from the shortest in the family, but all the added rain from this Spring had caused the patches of high grass to flourish whenever the clouds broke long enough and she could barely see of the long strands. It was odd, hunting on land again but Locha was a tad more fluid than she had been the first few time she'd tried that day. She didn't dare try to catch a bird, it was hard enough chasing these bouncing bunnies. She'd leave more complicated hunting to her swift sister. Padding back to her small pile of accumulated rabbits near the main gathering of her family, she dropped her last two near the pile before dropping down a little ways away from it. As she stared out to sea she sighed. It showed no sighs of lowering, to her severe displeasure. She knew it would eventually, but with thee ever present rain clouds it wouldn't be very soon. She was more worried about the damage it had caused to the dens and how the family was faring now. They were lucky that the prairie was on higher lands, she didn't know what they's all do if this flooded aswell. She could feel the dewy grass underneath her paws and it tickled her chin as she layed her muzzle on her paws. At least everyone had a dryish place right now. "SPEAK!"

Voltage Elementas Voltage was watching his sister from his new favorite rock, sitting upon its flat surface as she chased and hunted little bunnies. He was just fine sitting here, stormy eyes watching her movements as she slowly got better to hunting on dry land. It had been amusing at first, like watching a fish attempt to walk on land, and he rather enjoyed it. His mind would drift as he sat there, thinking of the season and all the planning they had to do. Not only did they have a party, this time a grass lands party and not a beach party, but a joint wedding. That meant a lot of hunting, and a lot of planning. So, he waited until she finished before he got up and trotted towards her. "For a fish, you're getting better." He said with a teasing smirk, plopping down in the grasses infront of her. He stared at his sister for a second, suddenly overwhelmed that if he hadn't woken that night... He took a deep breath to calm his anxieties before smiling at her again. "Spring's here~ You know what that means, don't you?" He said with a excited grin, his tail swaying behind him. He hoped Locha was up for it, but when wasn't she. They were the resident party planners, no one was bored when Locha and Voltage planned a to-do. "Burn Baby Burn"

"For a fish, you're getting better." Locha was jolted from her thoughts by a voice she knew too well. A smile stretched her features and she looked at her older brother as he plopped down in front of her. Returning his playful smirk, the woman opened her mouth to retort to the teasing. but stopped when she saw something not so cheerful flicker. She frowned. What was worrying her brother, other than the obvious? Locha wasn't given the chance to even think aboutasking thouhg, since soon enough her normal, bouncy brother was back. She returned his smile, but stil shuffled forwards on the grass to be closer to her older brother. "Spring's here~ You know what that means, don't you?" A gleam entered Locha's eye. Were they thinking the same thing? Of course, it was near enough tradition now, but with everything that had happened in the past year, Locha hadn't raised her hope too high. "Hmm.... I don't know what you could possibly be thinking." she teased, head cocking to the side. She grinned. "There's absolutely nothing too special about this time of year, especially not a paarrtyy..." she giggled rolling onto her side in the hope that she could use her bothers shoulder as a pillow. "Burn Baby Burn"

Voltage Elementas Voltage would hum happily as she smiled back at him, merely bushes the bought of anxiety and unhappiness under the rug. They were all safe, he didn't have to worry anymore. He would grim his childish grin as she got in on the game. Oh how he loved his fish sister, she certainly knew how to keep the air light and fun. Hed chuckle as she slipped closer, letting her rest her head on his shoulder like a pillow. "Comfy?" He teased as he looked at her, before clearing his shoulder. "Well, before the planning.…Glacier and I have decided to make you Dulus until the flood is over. You are In charge of letting us know when it is safe to go back to the beach, and it might be a good idea to get everyone together to figure out a good warning system if this decides to happen again." He said softly, looking at her with gentle eyes. "If you want too, that is." Hed murmur. This was their first crisis, and their first use of the emergency rank. But then he'd grin again now that the job was out of the way and he stretched out fully on his belly, tail flicking behind him. "Spring is...important. we need to bring the family together again. We need a great party, a celebration of life for Illie..." His voice stuck at that, but he cleared it away quickly, eyes flicking to the side. "Also, Glacier and I have decided to have a joint wedding. Gale is tracking down Arcus and spreading the message and me and you need to plan something amazing. You up for the challenge?" He asked with the largest of grins, turning to look at her fully. "Burn Baby Burn"
