Aspen Wreckage

There was nothing in this world that could possibly make Aspen happier. Seeing that big, goofy smile on her equally big and goofy brother, it meant the world to the young girl. For too long they had been apart, and seeing as how close they were in their younger years, it was like taking a fresh gulp of air after suffocating for so many months. Aspen landed on her brother with a soft thud, accompanied with many giggles and inaudible squeals of joy. Dark charcoal legs would squeeze her larger sibling tightly, afraid if she did anything less his body would disappear once more. Feeling the light touch of his skull against hers had crystal blue eyes snapping to his features, drinking in how much older he looked and assuring herself that he was indeed there, and very much real. Not simply a figment of her imagination like so many times before.

His question unleashed a hurricane of answers Aspen was all to eager to let out. "I'm great, well not great, but good! After you left us I was so alone! I missed you every single day. Then I told the sisters I wanted to go out exploring, to see the world but I also wanted to find you, so they told me it was okay and I've been out here ever since!" So much in between detail had been skipped, but her words were gushed out in a long breath, and she only paused to take in yet another deep gulp of air before she continued to rush her words once more. "I've been searching all over this place! I've been to the north, along the eastern coast, making my way towards the central and southern areas, but look at you! You're a giant! What have you been doing out here all this time?" That was the biggest question she had, for Aspen could only assume her dearest brother must've left for a reason, and she was beyond interested in knowing what reason could have possibly justified his disappearance.

Suddenly remembering all those weeks she felt the pain of his absence, Aspen's features turned into a frown. He left her! He simply couldn't be let off the hook for that! The raven girl would then reach down to grip the tip of his ear between her lips and yank it, not enough to cause damage but enough to get the message across of her displeasure with his actions. "You left me! How could you? You should have told me and I would've gone with you! Big jerk!" It was true, Branch was her guardian, her protector, her best friend. Watching him leave was the most heart breaking tragedy she had faced in her whole life. Despite her young age, there was no doubt in the young Wreckage's mind that she would have faced the unknown with her sibling, so long as it meant they could stick together.
