Forever's gonna start tonight

Walk | Talk | Think

A golden eye cracked open of Rory's sleeping face as she peeked sidelong at her sister, just in time to catch her stick her tongue out defiantly. Another mumbled, grumbling noise left the blue-toned sister, but it was silenced as Sera shuffled in to nuzzle her. As much as she wanted to be irritated with her sister, she found it incredibly hard to be. She knew her struggles better than anyone did, and had been carted along in the same manner when the flooding of their den had occurred. She might have fared a little better, but she still knew and could relate to Aurora in a way that none of their other extensive family could.

And she was also much better at communicating. Just a hint of a smile touched the edges of Rory's lips as she opened her bright eyes to look now directly at her grey and blue sibling, and watched as she gestured first away from them and then back at their parents. Slowly, as inconspicuously as possible, Aurora turned her head to chance a glance at their parents and confirmed with but a look that she had been right to assume them asleep. And if she read her sister's intentions correctly...

With the same slowness as before, the blue pup turned her head back around to face her sister, and just as slowly a grin spread across her lips, practically squinting with the severity of it. To signify without a doubt that she completely understood, the little pup carefully and gingerly pulled herself up onto her paws and, in her best attempt at tiptoeing, tried to pick her way out of the sheltering embrace of their parents so that she could sneak away with Seraphiel.
