Cheer Up

Walk | Talk | Think

It was still a struggle for Anais to completely make sense of, but Jian sounded so sure of it when she said it, smiling even as if the news was happy news for her too. Sisters! She had more siblings than just the ones back with mom and dad! Mom and Dad. Did they know? But...of course they had to know. Nako was living with them, and if he had been born in someone else's litter then they would have had to have known about it to know about him. Oh, it was so exciting! She could hardly wait to go back and tell both Nako and Jakart about her finding to see their reactions. Would they be as excited as she felt? Would Nako wish to see his sibling again too?

Another sister? The grey-gold girl blinked as her mind again struggled to keep up, realizing as Jian continued that there had been another in the litter that had been separated from the rest. Another sister... How many were there? Anais's own litter had been so small, just herself and her brother, but her family felt quite large. Nako had been there for so long that he felt just as much her brother as Jakart did, and while the new two were still so young she cared very deeply for them and was eager to include them in the mix. But was Jian's family as large? Was it possibly even larger?

"What was her name?" Anais asked curiously, wishing to know as much as she could about this family of hers that she had never had the chance of meeting. Was it too late to meet any of the rest? She was so eager her tail continued to wag, her forepaws shifting slightly upon the ground as if torn between staying in place and harassing Jian with all sorts of questions and running off to fetch her brothers to tell them the wonderful news. "Are there any more of you?" How much bigger was her family, really?
