 Relief flooded the burly boy as Scald nudged him to show a familiar sight - the unmistakable, faintly glowing mottled pelt of their sister Deluge. Her voice was raspy from thirst as she emerged from the reeds and caught sight of them, but as the tusked child loped towards her through the mud and muck, he was just happy to see that she seemed okay and in one piece. He and Scald finally reunited with her from where she was on the murky lake, his nub tail wagging about as furiously as it could, which in turn made his whole rump wiggle in excitement. "Deluge! You're okay!" He said, his voice unable to contain his relief and happiness in the form of a squeak. His eyes trained upon their sibling, having found her at last as their brotherly mission was successful, he nodded in agreement to his brother's words. "Yep, they'll be super happy we found you safe! 'Cause that's what good brothers do - find their sisters when they get lost," He added, the grin on his lips wide and curled from the tusks sitting on his jaw. He considered it a combined effort of him and Scald that they'd found Deluge - before any grown-ups could, either. Now that had to be impressive to some capacity. Unless Deluge had anything else she needed to do - but what else would she want to, given that the mud was sinking into his large toes and the strange, messy birds' cries were unbearable - he'd prompt his siblings to start heading back the way they came. It seemed the easiest and most direct route back hom,e and it brought them away from this strange and icky place. No doubt they could find a fresher puddle for Deluge to drink from on the way, as well. |
