Aiden prayed that one day this quiet awkwardness wouldn't be between them. That this void that was there would shrink and disappear, and that they'd be able to return to how they had been as puppies. They had done everything together, and were as close as one could possibly be as siblings, and he... well, he missed that closeness. He missed that belonging feeling. He missed the clear love and care they had for each other, and just about everything in their familial relationship. It was sorely lacking now, and it was a damned shame. He missed... he missed it all.
Sighing quietly, Aiden's attention was swiftly taken away from his desires as Corvus apologized. Already, he was shaking his head brusquely. "No need, brother," he said softly, leaning forward to nose Corvus in a placating and soothing gesture. "I made an impulsive decision to come. It'd only been the past... few days that the fog over me has lifted, and I don't blame you at all for not asking." After all, it was completely reasonable to assume that Aiden wouldn't want to come; he hadn't wanted to do anything lately at all. He didn't blame Corvus at all.
"Me either," he agreed with a grumble. "It's sore work. You know me, I'd rather be at home buried in plants over swimming or some sort of activity like that." This time, however, he was glad he didn't bury himself in plants. This was... nice. These interactions were nice. Seeing his brother was nice. It was all just... nice. And pleasant. He was enjoying himself already, and found himself relaxing even now. It was something that he was grateful about. "They certainly scared me!" he chirruped, mimicking his brother's action. "This water is so peaceful and tame in comparison. Maybe it's just because that's the main body of water we were always around, and it's just... not safe. At all. " The mention of their parents brought up a pang of sadness - but he shook that away gruffly, instead focusing on the joyous parts of the memories, and he found himself smiling at them.
"Well, if I had a deer, I'd show you," he retorted weakly, huffing indignantly (and in a silly manner) towards his brother. The smile remained even as Corvus guided the topic back, and he nodded "I was thinking of catching some fish, showing the guy for tickets, and then eating them if they'd let me." He paused slightly, nodding at the mention of prizes. "I remember being told about it. The guy up front told me a little, but I was hardly interesting. Something about mysterious drinks and stuff to wear and other things. Sounds interesting enough." As Corvus refocused on fish, so did Aiden, and he once more tried to lunge for the elusive fish.
