More Dazzling than the Lights

Avacyn let Sara give her the same inspection she had given him as his paws rested on her shoulders to turn her one way and then the other. All in all she was honestly surprised and grateful for the few injuries they had managed to get away with. Still, when he mentioned that they ought to get cleaned up before their parents thought they went off to war she chuckled and nodded in agreement. Getting cleaned up was most certainly high on her list after all of this. He turned her attention to the sound behind them and she turned to make her way down to the shallow bay alongside Saracyn, thankful to still be walking shoulder to shoulder with him right now. They very well could have ended up in far worse shape, but they were still on their feet with only a few scrapes and a lot of bruises to tend to once they got home.

Sara waded out into the cold water first and she followed shortly after. Usually she probably would have hated the cold water, but it actually felt delightful on her sore muscles and feet and was incredibly refreshing with all of the stuff that was matted up into her violet pelt. She eased herself into the water until it was up to her chest as well, letting her eyes close with a hum while she enjoyed the feeling of it for a moment. She didn't open her eyes again until Sara got her attention, blinking open her obsidian gaze to glance at him first and then up toward the sky. She gasped softly, looking up with wide eyes at the stunning night time sky, the colors of the northern lights lighting up the sky with bands of colors that created the most magical scene she had ever witnessed.

She brought her gaze back down to Saracyn with a wide grin as he spoke, her tail wagging gently behind her. Everything around them was cast in the glow of the northern lights and the full moon that hung in the sky overhead, but they were their own stars as well, their matching markings that connected them giving off their gentle glow. "I would too," she agreed. As rough as this day had been, they had created so many memories together that she would remember forever and she cherished getting to be with her brother like this even if they were going to go home scratched up and bruised. When his gaze lowered back to hers with an offer of helping her get cleaned up she nodded, giving him a smile in return. "That would be great."
