Unfortunately Mandatory

Deluge hadn't meant to be late to the meeting, she'd been half way back to the mainland when her fathers call came so she turned about and paddled as fast as her long legs would allow. She barely stopped to shake the dripping water from her coat as she approached the building and entered with such speed that her feet scrabbled against the smooth flooring, her hip hitting the ground but not shaking the apologetic but not really grin from her face. She tried to pad respectfully towards Scald, her nails tapping loudly against the hard floor as she flopped the upper half of her body across her brother's shoulders, reaching out to gently bite at his ear. It wouldn't be long now, and there wouldn't be anymore annoying meetings to sit through.
