Twinning

The young Cavaliere-Klein beamed as his brother was helped into wakefulness. The boys didn’t mirror each other, but they both knew how similar they were from being called the others name enough times. They might as well have been the same puppy, Haiku was most comfortable when some part of him was touching his brother. With what felt like revenge for waking him Sen pushed his cold nose in his chocolate ears and Haiku barely kept from crying out in surprise and discomfort.

”Shh..” The puppy said quietly as he looked around the dark den, his ears perked for any disturbance in the sleeping pile of their family. His own tail was barely contained as he felt the excitement well up in his chest. He leaned against Senryü as the two of them found their feet and looked toward the entrance of the den. They had to get around or over their father first, then in the outside there were ravens just waiting to sound the alarm.

”Da’s knife?” He asked quietly as his bright eyes shifted towards the alcove Rhyme kept his armor and throwing knife. They had to make it outside without alerting Imperia or the other ravens. Perhaps an object that didn’t belong.
