shoulder to shoulder

He blinked surprise when Venom suddenly pulled him into an embrace, but her excitement was contagious and he found himself grinning widely as he brought his forelegs up around her to embrace her in return, a rumbling laugh leaving him. He truly had been beyond blessed to have Venom as a sister. Hearing her talk about the summer festival, suggesting that they not only hold the ceremony during it, but to have it be the main event of the whole affair... Emotion pulled at his heart and he held her a little tighter, hiding his face as he wrapped his head around behind her neck as he blinked away the tears that threatened to creep up on him.

"That would be wonderful, Venom. Thank you," he replied, another giddy laugh escaping him. "Now I just have to hope he says yes!" He had a strong feeling that Void would agree, but there was always that stray, lingering doubt that wormed its way into everything he did. He knew that the tug and strain between being dedicated to his siblings and the search for his missing family and also wanted to be with him had been tough on Plague so he could only hope that he'd be able to prove to Void that it would be worth every moment of heartache between now and when they would get to be joined together was worth it.

He lifted his head after holding his sister tight for another moment, bringing his gaze back to hers, that bright genuine smile still lingering on his muzzle. "Void's family is all part of Abaven. Do you think we could invite all of Abaven to the festival as well? The thought of losing their brother has been really hard on his siblings so I would love for them to be involved." Perhaps if he was able to show that they were joining their families together rather than stealing Void from them it could help Spirit and Gloom feel slightly better about the situation.
