Oh No, Don't Let Me Go

With her brother so close, she really just wanted to keep touching him, so the girl began to groom the thicker fur behind his ears. His question was soft and she wondered if he was talking about stars or the plants that he adored. Her own voice was soft and she rested her head upon his, an ear on either side of her muzzle. "I think... even if they don't answer, they can hear us." She looked up to the daytime sky and wondered if the stars were there even now. "Maybe they don't talk in the same way that we do, so they show us in other ways." It was a deep thought for one so young, but it was a thought that she very much liked.

"We should look at the stars together, Indy. And you can show me your plants in Aunt Io's garden. Tell me all about them." She gave her brother a squeeze and kissed him between the ears. Of all of her siblings, Indy was the easiest to be around. She didn't have to sooth his feelings or tamp down his ego. He just... was. She loved him so much for that.
