a lack of security

Calypso sat quietly as Basilisk received his lecture, the excited wag of her tail slowing as time went on. By the time Azure was done addressing her brother, the faintly glowing girl was downright afraid. He was leaving them out here all alone? Calypso's ears pinned to her skull and she shuffled closer to her brother, suppressing a whine. If she complained however, her father would be extra disappointed. She volunteered to come and was expected to be brave - this was Basilisk's lesson, not hers, so why was her life in danger?

Azure finished his speech and dropped before them a bag, saying nothing more to her before turning and heading back to the safety of the territory. When he'd left, Callie turned towards her brother and shoved her head beneath his big chin. "You didn't fail me and I'm not mad at you for what you did." She assured him. While it might not help Basilisk to feel better about the situation - he was being punished, after all - Calypso did not want him to feel guilty for dragging her into it, too.

She reached forward to the discarded satchel, dragging it closer to them and beginning to rifle through it. There were a few herbs that she recognized to be for reducing pain, a small rolled up hide and just enough meat to be considered an appetizer.. for one of them. Calypso frowned, pushed the satchel away and glanced over to her brother. "What do we do, Bas?"
