Anthem was a simple man -- all he ever required was food and water and shelter, and the company of his family. He was very much like a child in that way, easy to please, though his constant need for support and help could be a burden, even if it was one taken on willingly. Having play time with his sister was a welcome addition to his life, and he was grateful when those moments arose. His life had been void of much fun since they had left Ahlon. Symphony always seemed to be searching for herbs and Howl was, well, Howl. Somewhat serious and brooding, he was not always the kind that wanted to play with Anthem. But Novella seemed to be more willing to do so, and so he initiated the game gladly.
He would take advantage of the moment of fun with her while he could. His goofy smile grew even wider as she started coming toward him, and he let out a harmless bark. "Chase?" he would inquire, but before waiting for a reply he would head in the opposite direction, tail waving freely behind him. He was not a graceful man, nor was he very fast, but he didn't understand that his siblings would often let him win in their games to make him feel a bit of pride. And so with as much speed as he could muster he would run from her, tongue lolling from his mouth as he began to pant, expecting her to follow close behind.
