"Talk" Walk

She turned to him and smirked. He knew that was her way of smiling, but he also knew it wasn't really a true smile. He couldn't blame her though. There wasn't much to smile about these days...though things started to look up, he just wasn't sure. Ruina, after all, had been the home they were born into. And it was gone before they were even a year old. What if the same thing happened here? The thought made him feel melancholic...and he wasn't quite sure how to process that. Luckily for him, his sister distracted him from the thought and he gladly took the opportunity to be drawn away from his thoughts for the time being.

"Are you kidding? You could wake the whole pack with the way you try to sneak around!" A sly grin creased his lips, then he shook his head. "I'm kidding, sis. No, you didn't wake me up. I couldn't sleep and you couldn't either, I can tell." Obviously. She was sitting right here. He just liked to try and tease her sometimes, he knew it was his way of distracting them from the things they were better off not thinking about right now.
