What You Need Isn't Always What You Want

Avacyn blinked open her eyes, groggy as she lifted her head from where it had been resting in the crook of Saracyn's neck while she lifted a paw to rub the sleep from her eyes. She could tell it was still pretty early from how quiet it was in the caves, but that was perfect. She had her heart set on going to the Firefly Lake today to work on the guard post that she had begun working on a couple of seasons prior, but hadn't been able to finish due to the storms that had ravaged Boreas for much of the spring season. Now that the season had turned and the weather was much more favorable, she figured now was a great chance to finish it. She swiped her tongue across Saracyn's ear several times, gently rousing him from sleep as well. He had agreed to come with her and help even though she was certain he would have rather slept in so she set to work waking him up, smiling softly at his disgruntled grumbles.

Once they were both up and she had groomed her coat a bit to smooth it into its usual glossy sheen, she walked out of the caves side by side with her brother, leaning into his side a bit with a smile. Just as they were stepping out into the sunlight, their mother's voice caught her attention and her white tipped ears perked with surprise, dark eyes finding the violet form of Manea waiting on them. Usually the Matriarch was gone by this time to do her usual patrols, but apparently today was not the case. She had been waiting on them specifically and that had Avacyn curious over what this could be about. She walked over to where their mother was waiting, her tail wagging gently as she tipped her muzzle up to kiss Manea's cheek. "What is it?" she asked with interest as she settled back onto her haunches beside Saracyn, waiting dutifully to hear what their mom had to tell them.
