A Match Into Water

Enlil blinked with surprise as Afrit said that she was just glad that he wasn’t mad at her. “I could never be mad at you!” It was at this the child’s smile fully returned, tail starting to wag back and forth. “You’re my sister, Afrit, and I love you dearly.” The child glanced once more at the butterfly’s grave before giving a happy yip to the suggestion his sister gave for a game. Hide and seek! That would be perfect!

“Yeah! I love hide and seek!” His tail was wagging even faster now, his golden gaze looking around as he debated on places he could hide. Truth be told Enlil hadn’t spent the most time with his siblings yet either… but that was going to change starting today! He’d spend time with Afrit, Charm, Okami, and even the older ones if they let him! He began shifting eagerly from paw to paw, his gaze shifting back to his sister. “Okay okay! Once you start counting I’ll run and hide~ Then you can hide and we’ll have lots of fun, right~?”
