Biting Down

A quiet sigh slipped past his silver lips. He knew part of this was his fault. It was because of him leaving that Aza felt so alone, like she had no one to turn to, no one who could ever understand what she was going through. He didn't like being this way with his sister. She was the youngest of the first Adravendi litter and the only girl. She had been the odd one out from the beginning, but that didn't mean that she would have to remain that way for the rest of her days. Gael loved his little sister dearly, as he did with his parents and still missing brother Soleon and now his two new baby sisters. But sometimes the red-head could be so headstrong and arrogant that it would get to be too much to handle...But the young Adravendi took it all in stride. His sister was who she was anyway. There was no changing her. Not that he had ever wanted her to change in the first place.


Hey Gael? Remember when we were little? You, me, and Soleon would go on adventures into the forest. I suppose we would both sorta follow Soleon then but we both also did our own things. He could help the fond smile of nostalgia that creased his kissers. He did remember indeed. He would spend hours staring at all the plants and interesting little bug things, sometimes roughhousing with Soleon or with Azalea. Those were really the good ol' days. Sometimes he wished he could go back to them, but he knew all good things eventually came to an end, including one's time as a child. Everyone grew up eventually, whether they wanted to or not. It was the natural process of nature. You're a lot like dad, you know. Loving, protective, bossy. An eyebrow raised questioningly at her last statement. Bossy? He ignored the last word, chuckling gently. I guess I am. He murmured, conjuring up an image of the grey man who he knew as his father. They were very similar in stature as well as physical appearance. Who knew that they were similar in character as well.


By then Aza had sat up, turning around to face him, glancing away from him as she spoke up again. I wasn't trying to be rude... about Meili. I was just curious. I haven't gotten to really meet her, but she seems nice. He sighed, scooting a bit closer to his sister, closing the gap between them significantly, nearly enough that they could touch muzzles if they so wished. I know you weren't Aza but it's just that....Dad doesn't really approve of her... He trailed off, knowing that she would want to know why and he would end up telling her the fact that Mei was older than him. Would she be disapproving just like their father? He could only wonder as he waited for the question he knew was only a moment from spilling from her jaws.
