A day in our lives

Spider hears Sirius’ call from the treehouse, and they shoot up straight form where they’ve been practicing in their room, tail thumping an excitable rhythm. they sheath their dagger, all thoughts of combat moves and spar techniques disappearing from their mind. since Sirius’ acceptance of them into the Amarda, they’ve long looked up to the imposing man, often watching him pass by with a wide-eyed, awe-struck expression. stifling a yawn, (another sleepless night, but what else is new), they all but stumble out of the treehouse in their haste, throwing a brief “bye Mum, bye Dad!” carelessly over their shoulder.

it takes them a while, however, to re-enter the Col; they stand dithering in its entrance, trying to calm their pounding heart. water’s gone…water’s gone…water’s gone…

when they finally join Sirius, it’s with a firmly neutral expression, mouth set in a thin line as they try to keep their fear hidden away. what will Sirius think, after all, if he finds out they’re scared of water? he won’t make them a warrior, that’s for sure! “hiya, Seer!” they chirp, hoping to affect their usual bounciness. their gaze flickers to the strange wolf at his side, and their face does a complicated series of movement. who is she? is she going to be a warrior, too? does Sirius like her better than them?? after a moment’s hesitation, they settle on a neutral, “hi. i’m Spider.” very mature, indeed.
