Shared Misery

Sirius looked rather silly with the fur still draped over his head and neck and Iolaire couldn't help but giggle. He was such a goof, but he probably didn't even realize that he looked like a little old maid. That made the situation all the more funny and Io had to fight not to dissolve into a fit of giggling. She actually placed one paw over her mouth and squeezed her eyes shut tight.

Her jumbo sized sibling suggested a hunt rather than more drinking. Had he accepted her offer of heavy drinking again, she would have internally screamed. "A hunt, eh?" Ears perked and she tamped down the giggles. "Anything particular in mind?" It had been quite some time since she'd hunted. Honestly, she didn't need to anymore and she was much too small and thin to bring down anything worthwhile. Others left her gifts of meat and Roan hunted for them. Might be good to get out of the den for a while, especially if it was with Sirius. Besides... she and Roan would be leaving soon. It would be good to spend some quality time with Sirius before that journey began.
