A loud chuckle erupted from his deep chest as she landed on him with a soft thud. His large goofy smile still plastered to his face. He was so happy to see her, so happy that she was here. His tail continued to drum the ground, unable to help himself. He didn't think any of them would want to come find him, that any of them would want to leave the family. Plus he wasn't sure if his plans would work and he never wanted to drag his siblings into something that didn't work. When she began to reply he found it hard to keep up with her words, but that was okay. She looked well, was doing well. All her words were jumbled within one long breath and he chuckled lightly again when she paused. Her pause was brief and she began to speak once again. Telling him everywhere she had been, all that traveling she had done.
Then he noticed the change on her face and his big goofy grin faded. What made her change so suddenly. She was so happy and now she looked..... Angry? Before he could react she took a sharp hold on one of his ears making his tail stop as she gave it a yank. His other ear flattened against his skull right before she spoke again. She was mad that he had left without her, something he could easily understand. He had left her, but he didn't want to drag her along for nothing. She was after all his little sister and he wanted her to stay safe. The best way to ensure that was to leave her behind with the family, but she had proved him wrong. She left the family, traveled and traveled, and was perfectly fine. He winced and gave a slight pathetic whine.
"I'm sorry!" he whined. "I didn't know if my plans would work out or not."
