To the Rescue!

Sisters and woman might both be gross and something that he barely understood, but when it came to action, to working in tandem, their movements mirrored in perfect teamwork, he felt a connection to her that he felt at no other time. They were like two parts of a whole and needed very little communication between them. His heart soared, and he fell into his attack with silence, leaping to the branch as the crocodile swam by, and striking out at him. It turned and snapped it jaws at thin air, the boy was already gone, leaping away again almost the same instant his attack landed. He was on a branch further out, away from the crocodile’s reach.

He bounded into positon once more as his sister struck the distracted creature, going for its eye. Even as her form began to ascend, Ra was there, making a daring move as he landed between its eyes and swiped at the same one Vey had struck. It skin was smooth and slick and he almost slipped as he bounded away. He landed awkwardly on a branch and the creature almost got a bite out of him, before he got his feet under control and bounded further into the tree.

His heart beat rapidly in his chest, but his breathing wa still even and quiet, a match to his movements as he leaped back into place again, waiting for his next turn to strike the creature. It was perfect, him and Vey’s harmonized, silent movements. He had already forgiven her for distracting him, and his heart soared in delight at the raging battle.
