A meeting...of business

He huffed just so as he shifted closer to his brother, almost willing himself to melt into that heat and not feel this sadness anymore. It was only Glacier that ever saw this pain so clearly, and it would only ever be him. Voltage would never give this burden to his younger siblings, they each had so much more to deal with, but Glacier...he knew Voltage inside and out and there was no way to hide it, so why even try. His eyelids squeezed tighter as toes clenched the ground for just a moment, body tightening as memories played before his eyelids before another sigh pulled from him and he relaxed just slightly, the memories, the thoughts flitting about his mind, streaking across like lightning he was so aptly named for. It was these strikes of pain that he hated, the sudden shooting of memory and reminder of rejection when he needed his brother the most. Perhaps he was letting it get to him too much, but it was just the way Voltage was. He had to let it play out, like a storm, it had to wash through him before he felt refreshed and alive.

Glacier's voice washed over him and he lifted his head just slightly to pull it back, stormy eyes opening slowly to look at him. Emotion shawn in his eyes like unshed tears, a small smile tugging at his lips, and his only response was a gentle nod of his head and a small touch of his nose to Glace's cheek. Sentiment was fleeting between them, but he revelled in it. When the eldest asked him what he was planning, what was on his mind, his eyes flashed and his saddened smile stretched so fully. "Why, a celebration of course. We would hunt a fair spring meal, host a celebration on the beach and celebrate the youngests coming of age, their joining out family, and each of us facing another year of life...together, and shedding the pain the previous year had thrown upon us." His smile had dimmed just slightly at the last words he spoke, his gaze falling to the dead rabbit upon the floor as he flicked his tail behind him. With a gentle shake of his head he returned to reality, lips tugging once more into a grin. "A party, a celebration, some games...I think it would help us all settle in this new land a little more, and bring us even closer together...because, we're all we have, Glace. There are many of us, but that doesn't mean our bonds aren't precious, something to shouldn't be celebrated."
