Sleeping In

Walk | Talk | Think

It surprised her that Nako's train of thought had brought him back so far into their childhood, though at the mention of the memory she began to laugh. She did remember that day, when they had first been learning what the world was like beyond the den. They had been so small then, Nako just a bit bigger than both she and Jakart, and yet he had stuck close to them and played all the same, careless of the fact they were younger and less experienced in the sort of things he could already do. And she, of course, had simply been eager to get out of the den. "We didn't, did we?" she echoed thoughtfully, still smiling brightly to herself as she thought of it. No, their Dad had intervened, cutting their race short before a winner could have been declared though it had obviously been Nako. "I bet I could win this time," Anais added, feigning a confidence that she did not completely possess. A little healthy competition was still fun even now.

Her brother went on to explain what it was he and Jakart had been doing of late, what all their training was entailing, and shock caused her expression to blank. Kill? That was certainly more serious than she would have expected. Sparring she would have understood, strength building and other sorts of training as well, but just killing? She had been poorly misinformed. But as Nako joked - at least she assumed he was joking about demonstrating on her - she managed to smile again, murmuring through a chuckle that just slightly bordered on nervous, "You wouldn't do that." Would he? Either way, she was already doing as he had gestured, walking past him to step out of their den into the early afternoon light and letting her eyes adjust as she turned back around to face him. "How do you even practice killing? Isn't that dangerous?"
