Appreciated

Verdant gaze would rest on her brother, watching the confusion roll over his scarred features. His torn ears fell back against his skull, her nickname rolling softly off his tongue. For a moment she said nothing. Her weight would shift to her hind legs, muscles propelling her forward. Her russet form would collide with her brother, possibly with enough force to knock him over if he was caught off guard. She would bury her face in his neck, inhaling his scent.

Audits fell back against her skull, eyes narrowing, though she knew her brother couldn't see her expression. Lips curled back slightly, exposing the tips of her fangs. A growl vibrated deep in her throat as she pulled back to glare at her brother. "What is wrong with you?" Words were laced with anger, cracking like a whip. If she had knocked her brother, she would not let him up just yet, nor would she let him speak. "You disappeared with so much as a word!"

Anger and hurt seeped from her pores, verdant pools flickering like fire. Her fur threatened to bristle, chin tucked against her throat as she glared down at her brother.
