Just You and Me

It had been quite some time since he and Siren had been able to share some one-on-one time. On one of the rare sunny days within the rainy season, Chimera collected his tiny sister and ferried her across the water to the dam on the mainland. It was his intent to simply stretch their legs, take a little walk together and catch up.

Chimera kept his pace slow so that Siren's little legs wouldn't have to work so hard to keep up. If she became tired, she could always ride on his back. They moved into the territory, eventually coming to the edge of the river where the industrious beavers were hard at work plugging things up. They were always screwing with things and their numbers were booming, so Chi often had to cull them.

Seating himself on a mat of soft grass, Chimera leaned down and kissed Siren's pale cheek. "It's been a while," he admitted. "You're well? What's new in the world of Siren?" There was a mischievous glitter in his eye as he asked. He knew that she was well. Had she not been, he would have been told. Pleasantries would be acknowledged, but really, he just wanted to spend time with her.
