You'll be the death of me

((figured this should get one reply :P))

He lay quietly at the riverbank, not far from the waterfall, close enough that the mist covered his scent but far enough away that he could speak or hear without too much of an issue. Since finding Luce it have become one of his new favorite spots and of course it had been where his sister had eventually found him. She lay curled against his back, facing away from him with her head on her paws, awake but saying nothing. He lay easily, head tipped back to take in the sky. He wore a thoughtful, pensive expression as he stared up at the cloudless night. It was beautiful this evening... He couldn't help but wonder if this would be his last night like this... A sigh slipped from his jaws are sickly green gaze took in the dancing lights, he didn't want to leave, didn't want this night to end. He would stay here until first light and then he would find Kaien and go see what could be done.

Ears pricked at the howl, a familiar voice that suddenly brought to light all his concerns and fears over leaving. It was a summons, she wanted to see him, to no doubt yell at him and tell him he shouldn't go. He knew all the reasons why he shouldn't go. The goddess would be spitting on him if she were here now... Gaze settled on the red female curled behind him as he thought about it. No, he wouldn't go... He couldn't see her and risk being talked out of it. He would never forgive himself. Vi didn't lift her head or ask, sharp gaze simply staring ahead. They had said everything that had needed to be said, there was nothing more, nothing less. Secret knew what he was going to do, they didn't need to speak further. So he slowly lowered his head, not even bothering to howl back, and draped his neck over his sister, massive chin atop her head as he gazed ahead with her.

-end for Ky-

Speech!
