It was hard to tell where her scent went, but after a moment of waiting he heard the sound of claws clicking lightly against the metal of the ship's metal floor. He squinted against the sunlight - which wasn't very bright, but was greatly exacerbated by reflecting off both the crisp white snow as well as the ship's exterior - as he searched for his sister somewhere in the structure in front of him. He caught sight of her blue face as she peeked out and called to him, and he found himself grinning at the sight of her. "Okay!" He called out a bit too loudly, unsure of whether or not the sound of his voice was muffled from where she was stood, quickly hurrying to meet him.

"You fought a cat? Without me?" He asked incredulously, with wide eyes. He wanted to fight a cat! Oh yeah, now that she said that he remembered she'd gotten cuts across her shoulder but he hadn't paid much attention to them, thinking she'd just gotten in a little brawl with one of their siblings. And speaking of brawls... she wanted to fight now. Of course he wanted to! She came up to him and he nodded in agreement. He wanted to grow up to be strong like his parents, and what better way to start? "Okay. You first. Since you beat up a cat and all. Show me how tough you are!" He was a boy of few words, at least generally speaking, but around his siblings it was easier to loosen his tongue.
