A New Leaf

This I swear by the stars

Stars in your multitudes, scarce to be counted, filling the darkness with order and light. You are the sentinels, silent and sure, keeping watch in the night. You know your place in the sky, you hold your course and your aim. And each in your season, returns and returns, and is always the same. And if you fall as Lucifer fell, you fall in flame

After her long winded speech, one that left her a little breathless in fact, Voltage was the first to speak up. She turned her sun fire gaze to him, observing his features as he spoke to her. There were always many emotions that covered her electric brothers face, he was one to wear his heart on his sleeve. He told her that she had grown, and Caeli felt a warm flush rush to her cheeks. Bashfully she blinked slowly, having to swallow passed the sudden emotions that rose in her throat. The last time that she had spoken with Voltage, it had not been such a civil conversation such as this one. And to be praised instead of scolded, well it made her heart soar. She stayed silent as she allowed him to speak, wanting to first hear what both brothers had to say before she answered. Standing still, she resisted the urge to glance upwards for comfort, keeping her eyes trained on Volt. At his words, more tears ran down her features, head slowly nodding back and forth. She knew that she would always have a home here, but whether or not she deserved it was another thing. She felt like after everything she had done, they had more than enough ammunition to toss her out of her rump. Not that she thought her kin would ever do that, but it was still a thought that entered her mind. They had the right to do that if they so pleased, and she knew that she had worked her way to them being in the right to toss her out. That hurt her deeply, that she had allowed it to get that bad before she had left. Letting out a soft sigh, she longed to rush to Volt so that he could hold her, or to lean up against Glacier's solid chest. But she would allow both of them to say what they wished before she moved from her place.

Blinking back to attention when Volt mentioned her being like her other siblings, a single brow rose upwards. She had never really made that connection before, but hearing it out loud made it ring loud and clear. She was just like her other siblings, and the thought made her chuckle softly. She guessed she was just like them. "It took me wandering away to find out that I was always where I belonged," she whispered, breaking her vow to wait until both males had spoken. He asked her not to leave, and slowly she nodded her head up and down. No, she was done with leaving. Volt wasn't done there though, and she waiting for her punishment. She had a feeling there would be one, Caeli was just waiting for it. He first started by saying as her alpha, which made her ears flick backwards. Oh yes, Alpha Voltage. She remembered that well. Her orange eyes flickered away from his face, but she said nothing. She kept on listening, ears turned towards him, but her gaze was on the sand beside her. Until. Wait... sons and daughters? Eyes flew wide as her head snapped back up to attention, blinking rapidly at her electric brother. "S-sons and daughters? You had puppies!" she exclaimed, her purple and black tail wagging behind her. Oh she had no idea! That was very exciting, and she would take her duties with ease. "Of course, Alpha Voltage," she said softly, offering him a wink. "Have they been named yet? Did I miss that in my travels?" she asked in a soft whine. That had been one of her jobs. If they had been, she vowed that she would teach them about their family, and about their own elements.

Her gaze turned to Glacier as he spoke, and his words left her with mixed emotions. She fixed him with a stern, quiet look, before a smile split her black lips. Apparently her niece had taken on her love for the night, and she nodded her head as she accepted her task. "Of course, brothers."

"Speech!"
