The game was fun whilst it lasted, Anthem glancing over his shoulder every now and then with his balance fortunately remaining intact with each look. Suddenly though it was brought to an abrupt end as the silver marked wolf came to a halt. Novella eased smoothly into a stop, stepping up beside her brother, concerned for a brief moment, though it passed upon seeing Anthem's trademark smile returned quickly to his expression and she could see he was clearly fine, he'd just had enough of the game she supposed.
Whilst there hadn't really been any obvious meaning to the game beyond a run, it seemed that Anthem felt he had lost. He took it well though, declaring his defeat honourably with sportmanship that was certainly to be admired. Novella gave him a little lick in return. "You did well." She informed him. "I think you might be getting faster." Perhaps not true, though he had stopped on his own terms and not for a lack of grace, praise was deserved for one reason then.
To be honest she felt sympathy for her brother rather than annoyance when he had to request for care. It was indeed a little sad that he wasn't even able to hunt for himself. Not sure who had dropped by last, she was a little annoyed that they hadn't thought to leave him something just in case he got hungry considering he probably wouldn't just go and search for any of them. The emotion was hidden however and she simply gave a nod of her head. "Of course." She responded.
Thinking back to the rock pools that Song had showed her upon a visit, Novella decided that perhaps it would be good to go there. Anthem could have a go at fishing without tiring himself any further. "Follow me." She informed him, nuzzling him lightly before setting off in the direction of the beach.
