Lumine allowed her larger brother, Bjorn, to snuggle in closer to her. She was sure if you asked him, he would refuse. State that he was merely resting his shoulder against her, but she could feel it. That way he let his entire body weight sink against her. And even though she wore a thick sheepskin, she still felt thankful for her brother's warmth. Unlike the beating heat of Boreas, Auster was cold. Perhaps not as cold as their parents warned them the mountain would be, but for her? She had no idea, nothing to compare it to, so this was cold. Far colder than home, than the den, than her mother's embrace. So yeah, Lumine was thankful when Bjorn sunk his fat butt all the way against her so she could soak up his body heat. Even as wolves wove back and forward. Checking in every once in awhile, going so far as to say hello to them, Lumine focused more on the world around her. Scenery changed, weather shifted, everything went from bright green and colorful flowers to dead limbs and fallen leaves. The trek across what her father deemed The Bifrost had been a bit treacherous as well. Unknown to their father, the water had risen recently and made it near impossible to traverse to Auster with the carts. Their mother had hesitated, wondering if it was smart to take them along. Yet, she insisted there was a reason they all needed to go and it wasn't just for the raid. That alone made Lumine curious. What else could be down here that made her mother so... nervous? Pulled from her reverie with words from her brother, Lumine blinks her subtly blue-grey eyes at him. Bjorn really listened to their father's stories that closely? She thinks on it anyway. Her eyes turning back to the late afternoon sun as it sunk behind the horizon. Bare trees creaked in the wind and the winding path went from flat to hilly. Almost a little too barren for her liking as well. Where was the cover? Was it safe? Not that she was worried. No, she was aware. Hyper aware. Too aware for her age. Once more, she's pulled from her thoughts to reality as Bjorn's head rests against her shoulder. His next question begs a response. A quiet sigh from her dusty white lips. Why did he care? According to mother, they weren't even going to the raid. They were continuing further south with mother to go visit some friends. Friends she wouldn't explain to them anything about. It made Lumine question. Eyes narrowed, brow furrowed, lips pursed as she spies their mother lounging at the front of the cart with the others. "Ja. Papa said that Corbie lady didn' want to fight. Why not try? Is that so bad?" Lumine turns her stark gaze back to him, daring him to argue her stance. If anyone was intelligent, they definitely would avoid getting into a fight with their father. Had Bjorn not noticed how massive the titan of a man was? Especially with mama beside him? A formidable force that even Lumine at this young age could understand. Their presence screamed "don't fuck with us". She lets out a little giggle anyway, leaning her head back against his own and lets her eyes close for a moment. "You think mama is takin' us down south to train?" She asks instead, because really, if they wanted to ever raid, they would need to train at some point. Though they were still young, still fresh from the den, Lumine was already contemplating her next step. How could she be better than everyone else? How would she best her opponent? Youth would only feign ignorance, not strength or skill. She could learn and learn fast which is most definitely what she wanted to do. Peeking one eye open, her smile widens. "Wanna tussle when we stop for the night? Bet I can beat ya," Lumine teases, tilting her muzzle so she can tug at her brother's upper lip. |
