Feast for Four

Her brother's were excited, both for the night and for her. Azure came and gave her a bump before heading to the pig to grab a chunk. Indigo smiled and was coming forward, but Mort... He smiled at her sadly and turned to leave. The small wolf gasped lightly. What was so bad that he couldn't be with his siblings? "Mort!" she called out after him, but Indigo was already running to intercept him. Didn't he like her surprise? She knew though, that it was the dissension between himself and Az. The trade of looks between them hadn't gone unnoticed.

Sitting in the sand, she stared after her winged brother, watching his form retreat into shadow as he moved farther from the fire. She now cast a look towards Azure who was laying down and eating. "What happened between you two?" It was a straight out question. She needed to know. She needed to know so that she could fix this. They were supposed to be a team; a single unit. They were all supposed to love one another and be happy. Why, then, had Mort looked so, so sad?
