Days Events

Chade could have answered on the sheep but it would keep for another time. Ry was practically bouncing all over with news, maybe not literally, but he surely wanted to by the look. “Ok,” Chade got the word in when Ry mentioned news but then just grinned and gave up.  No need to answer right now, Ry didn’t need encouragement to share.

Chade contented himself to nodding in response to being asked if he remembered their last talk.  He was quickly starting to get the idea of what was coming but he wouldn’t congratulate his brother until he heard it for sure and let Ry have his fun telling him.

When the words came out Chade’s grin grew, “I knew you could do it Ry.” Chade placed a paw on his brother and added teasingly, “when we were small you were always great at roaming out of sight and finding all manner of things, occasionally even good stuff.”  There was no sting in the words even if sometimes Ricin had found trouble instead of things that helped.  “Really though, you been working hard and you’re really good at finding paths.”

Acctuallly… “You should come with me to the mountains at some point.  We don’t need to hunt but you would love,” emphasized heavily on the ‘love’, “the crazy paths I found.  Lot’s of ways to fall and hurt yourself if you aren’t sure-footed.  I know you’ll be fine up there of course.” Yup, best fun ever to hunt there.

The notion of promotion had the smile fade as Chade looked thoughtful, “I’m really good at hunting,” Chade agreed somberly with no sound of boasting, “but I’m so much younger than others that hunt.” Sure, Ry had done it but for all Chade was the stronger of the two he was also always the more grounded and thus it took longer to follow a dream which didn’t mean the only way to survive.  

It was a fun idea and Chade would be lying to say he hadn’t already considered the idea.  “I don’t want to mess up or make a mess of things, ya know?”
