We're the grown ups now

It wasn't as hard to ignore how she was feeling with the start of her first heat when she was alone in her workshop with a bit of space between her and Saracyn, but as he came over to join her and she felt his side brush against her own it made those sensations come rushing back. It was one of those things that she had been told about by her mother and then Irilyth when she went to her former nanny for contraceptive herbs, but actually experiencing all of it was a deferent experience. She leaned into his side without really thinking about it, unable to resist that touch from him and naturally being drawn into him, while they continued to work and unpack the food and supplies they had brought with them. A grin tugged at her lips as he mentioned the bed he had just finished putting together and hummed at the description he gave of how soft and plush it was now with the additional furs he had pulled from the pack's storage. "We'll definitely give it a quality test when we're done here," she agreed with a chuckle and a teasing flick of her tail across his hind leg.

When the conversation turned to the workshop she had been building and the offer of having her "big, strong brother" come move any of the heavier items for her, Avacyn chuckled and gave him a sly smirk. "The only thing I need my big, strong brother to move is me," she teased, very quickly getting distracted from the task in front of them. It wasn't like putting their treats and food away was really a direly important task so it didn't need to get done right away–which was probably for the best considering how poor of a job they tended to do at keeping their paws off of one another as it was. She playfully nudged his shoulder before starting to move away from the pile of supplies and instead began to walk toward the workshop she had just left. "Do you want to see how it's coming along?" she questioned before starting to lead the way–not before she flicked her tail under his chin as she walked away. Bringing her brother into her new workshop, she gestured to all of the work she had done to arrange her supplies and tools around the room and on the various shelves they had set up and to the low work surface that took up the middle of the room. This cavern in the cave system they had picked for themselves already had a few big rocks that were easy enough to roll into place and after putting a piece of wood across the top of them she had herself a sturdy table to work on. "What do you think so far?"
