Troublemaker [Epiphron]

Epiphron had already begun to notice that Gabriel seemed to be a bit of a loner. Perhaps it was a personality trait he would grow out of, and she dearly hoped so, but he seemed to be more of the independent type, often staying close by his mother's side as his brothers and sisters played. His frequent solitariness drew her to him like a moth to a flame. Part of her dreaded the possibility of one of her siblings growing up feeling alone, unwanted, unloved -- like Neo. The mere thought of that happening terrified her, made her want to smother Gabriel in love and attention and make sure he knew just how much she cared for him; no, how much all of Valhalla cared for him. A similar laugh escaped her own throat, a noise of unquestionable joy. As she pounced forward near him, he initially seemed irritated, but his mood changed as quickly as it had appeared. 'Oh, you love it Gabriel!" She laughed gleefully, letting the boy leap forward and cling to her muzzle. "Someday you're gonna be loving this attention from older ladies. Better enjoy it while you can!" Epiphron was simply teasing -- he was as good as her brother. But she grinned nonetheless, lowering her head so the boy wouldn't fall to the ground if he let go. |
